In 1963, Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn dueled 0-0 for 16 innings until the Giants finally won 1-0 on a Willie Mays walk-off homer. Try imagining a 16-inning game today with less than 14 pitchers used and no bullshit fake runners on second base. pic.twitter.com/dQGvQXSFHg

More likely there is something going on. He had phenomenal energy. There is a video of Spahn and Marichal being interviewed after their 16-inning duel in 1963.Marichal looks like he's been dragged behind a horse. Spahn, 17 years older than Marichal, is bouncing around like a kid.
