Jim Bouton holds the record for the most hits given up in a 9 inning complete game shutout.  (14 hits).

Well, that certainly is a left handed compliment

Actually, in the case of Bouton, it was a right-handed compliment.

 

You are welcome for the set up

chip shot. Thanks.

On the topic of giving up the most hits in a game:

There was a guy named Allan Travers, who played a single game in the majors. On May 18, 1912, he gave up 26 hits in a 9 inning game.  Not a shutout.  Of course, in those days they weren’t into relief pitchers.  He has an interesting biography.  The circumstances pursuant to which he played in just one game and his life story can be found on Wikipedia.  After his one game, he became a Catholic priest.

Johnny Clegg, South African musician, at 66. I know him from the band Juluka.

RIP - Johnny Clegg and Savuka were very important.  Will listen to Great Heart on the way home

The Jimmy Buffett version gets regular play in our house as part of a playlist I put together. 

Among the least surprising items of the day

They play a lot of Johnny Clegg on Radio Margaritaville
