1961 World Series Game 2 (Jay Ties It Up) - Link to video - 1961 World Series Game 2: Reds @ Yankees - www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6RUGywKaTs
Joseph Richard (Joey) Jay (b. August 15, 1935) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. From 1953 through 1966, Jay played for the Milwaukee Braves (1953–55, 1957–60), Cincinnati Reds (1961–66) and Atlanta Braves (1966). He was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed.
In addition to being the first Little League player to advance to the major leagues, Jay was one of the first "bonus baby" players in the major leagues. On September 20, 1953, at the age of 17, making his first career start (having pitched only one game in relief previous), he pitched a seven-inning complete game shutout (the game was shortened due to rain).
The Braves traded Jay to the Cincinnati Reds after the 1960 season for infielder Roy McMillan. Jay took full advantage of the trade, as he became a key figure in the Reds' stunning revival in 1961. Jay won 21 games (the first Red to win 20 since Ewell Blackwell in 1947), tied for the league lead in wins and shutouts. Jay also won 21 games in 1962 as the Reds won 98 games to finish in third-place behind the Giants and Dodgers. Jay's heavy workload in 1961 and '62 took a toll the following year as he struggled to a 7–18 record.
In a 13-season career, Jay posted a 99–91 record with 999 strikeouts and a 3.77 ERA in 1546.1 innings.
In July 2008 he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.

David Michael Sisler (b: October 16, 1931 – d: January 9, 2011 at age 79) was a professional baseball pitcher who played in MLB from 1956 through 1962. Early in his career, Sisler was a starter, then later was used as a middle reliever and occasionally as a closer. He reached the majors in 1956 with the Boston Red Sox after he completed a two-year obligation in the active military.
His most productive years came with Boston, where he won 24 games from 1956 to 1958, averaging 138 innings each season. After that, he appeared strictly as a reliever and saved a career-high 11 games for the Senators.
His father, Hall of Famer George Sisler; and one of his brothers, Dick Sisler, also played baseball at the major league level; while another brother, George Sisler, Jr., was a general manager for several minor league baseball teams, and later became president of the International League from 1966 to 1976.

And reflections, selfies, or anything critical of his Cincinnati Reds. May be a candidate for anger management. Also much disappointed in his team's season, who, as of this writing, dwell in the cellar of the National League Central Division, 31 1/2 games behind the division-leading Cubs. My Brewers are only marginally better. Next year.

James Riley Turner (b. August 6, 1903 – d. November 29, 1998 at age 95) was a pitcher and coach in Major League Baseball. As a member of the Reds and Yankees, he was a member of nine World Series Championship teams between 1940 and 1959, two as a player and seven as a coach. Most notably, he was pitching coach for the New York Yankees under Casey Stengel from 1949 to 1959, during which time they won seven titles. Apart from his baseball career, Turner was a lifelong resident of Nashville, Tennessee.
From 1937 through 1945, he played for the Boston Bees (1937–39), Cincinnati Reds (1940–42) and New York Yankees (1942–45). Turner's Major League career got off to a late start, as he did not reach the big leagues until he was 33 years old. He led the National League in earned run average in 1937 as a rookie with Boston.
After his pitching career ended, Turner served the Yankees (1949–59; 1966–73) and Reds (1961–65) as their pitching coach, working for ten pennant-winning clubs over that 24-year span. He also managed the Beaumont Exporters (1946), Portland Beavers (1947–48) and Nashville Volunteers (1960).

Warren Edward Spahn (b: April 23, 1921 – d: November 24, 2003 at age 82) was a MLB left-handed pitcher. He played his entire 21-year baseball career in the National League. He won 20 games or more in 13 seasons, including a 23–7 record when he was age 42. Spahn was the 1957 Cy Young Award winner, and was the runner-up three times, all during the period when just one award was given. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973.
Spahn won 363 games, more than any other left-handed pitcher in history, and more than any other pitcher who played his entire career in the post-1920 live-ball era. He is acknowledged as one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball history. The Warren Spahn Award, given to the major leagues' best left-handed pitcher, is named after him.

James Jerome O'Toole (b: January 10, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois – d. December 26, 2015 in Cincinnati, Ohio at age 78) is a former left-handed pitcher in MLB during the early 1960's.
He played a crucial role in Cincinnati's 1961 National League championship, when he won 19 of 28 decisions, with an ERA of 3.10, second in the National League behind Warren Spahn. Though pitching effectively in the 1961 World Series, with an ERA of 3.00, O'Toole lost his two decisions to Whitey Ford in games 1 and 4, as the New York Yankees bested the Reds in five games.
In 1963, he was the starting pitcher of the National League in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, pitching 2 innings and allowing 1 earned run, not involved in the decision.
O'Toole played in Cincinnati until his final season, 1967, spent with his hometown team, the Chicago White Sox, but was ineffective due to arm troubles. O'Toole tried to return with a 1969 expansion team, the Seattle Pilots, but was cut in spring training before the season began.

In the beginning, the owners of the other seven teams in the new National League voted Cincinnati out of the franchise system for degrading the brand by serving beer at its park, even though banning beer wasn't officially a system standard. The owner argued that his customers demanded beer since a large part of Cincinnati's fan base was of German ancestry.

Cinergy Field, formerly known as Riverfront Stadium, was the home of the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals. Located on the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Riverfront Stadium was the 3rd of the National League’s infamous "cookie-cutter" stadiums. It was the first stadium to have its entire field covered by Astroturf, except for the cutouts around the bases and pitcher’s mound.
Before Riverfront Stadium opened on June 30, 1970, the Reds had spent 58 years playing at intimate Crosley Field. In 1997, Cinergy Corporation, a Cincinnati based utility, reached an agreement with the Reds to rename the stadium. When the Bengals moved to Paul Brown Stadium, Riverfront was reconfigured as a basbeall only stadium. Cinergy Field was demolished in 2000 to make way for the Great American Ballpark.
Richard Alan Sisler (b. November 2, 1920 – d. November 20, 1998) was an player, coach and manager in Major League Baseball. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, he was the son of HOF first baseman and two-time .400 hitter George Sisler. Younger brother Dave Sisler was a relief pitcher in the 1950s and 1960s with four MLB teams, and older brother George Jr. was a longtime executive in minor league baseball.
On the closing day of the 1950 season, at Ebbets Field, Sisler hit a tenth-inning, opposite-field three-run home run against the Brooklyn Dodgers that would lead to the "Whiz Kids" Phillies winning their first National League pennant in 35 years. Had Philadelphia lost, the Phillies and Dodgers would have finished in a flatfooted tie for the NL championship and a best-of-three playoff would have resulted. The home run made Sisler world-famous; Ernest Hemingway celebrated him in his novel The Old Man and the Sea. Describing a conversation between an aging Cuban fisherman and his young apprentice discussing the 1950 big-league season.
After managing in the minor leagues with the Double-A Nashville Vols and Triple-A Seattle Rainiers, Sisler became a coach for Cincinnati in 1961, serving under manager Fred Hutchinson. In August 1964, he was promoted to acting manager when Hutchinson, suffering from terminal cancer, was forced to give up the reins. He led the Reds to a 32–21 record, and the team finished in a second-place tie (with the Phillies), one game behind the Cardinals. After his formal appointment as manager in October 1964, he brought the Reds home fourth in 1965 with an 89–73 mark before being fired at season's end.

James William Maloney (b. June 2, 1940) is a former right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played with the Cincinnati Reds and California Angels. One of the hardest-throwing pitchers of his era, Maloney boasted a fastball clocked at 99 miles per hour, threw two no-hitters, won 10 or more games from 1963 to 1969, and struck out more than 200 batters for four consecutive seasons (1963–66).
In 1963, Maloney was 23-7 and struck out 265 batters; in 1965, he was 20-9 and struck out 244; in 1966, he was 16-8 and struck out 216; and in 1968, he was 16-10 and struck out 181. Maloney pitched one game in the 1961 World Series, hurling 2/3 of an inning in the fifth and final game as the Reds fell to the New York Yankees.
Injuries shortened his career, robbing him of the chance to pitch for the "Big Red Machine"—the fabled Cincinnati NL dynasty from 1970-79. Maloney was able to pitch in only seven games for the 1970 Reds due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, and he was winless in just three starts.
Maloney pitched two games in which he gave up no hits through nine innings in 1965, while going on to win 20 games that year. His first hitless nine-inning performance in 1965 was on June 14 against the New York Mets. This game lasted through 10 scoreless innings, with Maloney striking out 18 batters while issuing one walk. But Johnny Lewis led off with a home run in the 11th inning and Maloney lost the game 1-0. At the time, that game was officially recognized as a no-hitter, but the rules were later changed to omit no-hit games that were broken up in extra innings.
His second no-hitter (and first official no-hitter under current rules), on August 19, 1965, also required 10 innings, but he won that one 1-0 over the Chicago Cubs. Maloney outdueled Larry Jackson, with the Reds winning on a Leo Cardenas home run. This was the first no-hitter in modern Major League history in which the pitcher who threw it went more than nine innings. Maloney's pitching line included 12 strikeouts, 10 walks and one hit-by-pitch. He threw 187 pitches in the game.
His second official no-hitter was on April 30, 1969, in which he beat the Houston Astros 10-0 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati. Maloney's pitching line included 13 strikeouts and five walks. Ironically, the next day Don Wilson of the Astros returned the favor to the Reds, pitching his second career no-hitter in a 4-0 Astros victory. The double no-hitters in consecutives games was the second such occurrence in Major League history. Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn had accomplished the same feat in September 1968.

Jeffrey Lee Russell (b. September 2, 1961) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played 14 years from 1983 to 1996.
