SAN FRANCISCO N.L., 1960-1973. BOSTON A.L., 1974. LOS ANGELES N.L., 1975. HIGH KICKING RIGHT-HANDER FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WON 243 GAMES AND LOST ONLY 142 OVER 16 SEASONS. WON 20 GAMES SIX TIMES AND NO-HIT HOUSTON IN 1963. LED N.L. IN COMPLETE GAMES AND SHUTOUTS TWICE AND IN ERA WITH 2.10 IN 1969. COMPLETED 244 GAMES DURING CAREER, STRIKING OUT 2,303 AND FINISHING WITH 2.89 ERA. (This is a replica of the official inscription created for Marichal's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 1963. It is on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York). Plaque 2: If you don't get Marichal out of the game by the third inning, forget it. He is going to beat you. - Curt Gowdy. If Marichal doesn't get one pitch over, he has nine others to throw at you. Juan Marichal is the best pitcher in baseball. - Ed Kranapool. CAREER STATISTICS. W 243. L 142. ERA 2.89. G 471. GS 457. CG 244. SH 52. IP 3509.1. H 3153. R 1329. ER 1126. BB 709. SO 2303. I still think that bunting against Marichal is a good idea. The only trouble is, he won't give you a pitch you can bunt. - Jim Wynn. He can throw all day and hit a space no wider than two inches - in, out, up or down. I've never seen anyone as good as that. - Pete Rose. When you really have to win a game, Marichal gives me confidence. Juan rises to the occasion. He thrives on competition. The tougher the situation, the better he is. - Alvin Dark. Links: Sculptor
