On July 2, 1963, two baseball legends engaged in one of the greatest pitchers' duels in baseball history.

Juan Marichal vs. Warren Spahn. Hall of Famer vs. Hall of Famer at Candlestick Park.

By the time Marichal and Spahn met on the mound that Tuesday night, they'd already faced off five times in the Major Leagues. But none of those contests were anything like this.

This was a 16-inning thriller in San Francisco, scoreless until the very end, and both Marichal and Spahn went the distance. It is still the last Major League Baseball game where both starters pitched into the 16th inning.

In the end, Marichal's Giants were victorious over Spahn's Milwaukee Braves, 1-0, thanks to the great Willie Mays' walk-off home run off Spahn in the bottom of the 16th inning.
