Mike Mayers makes his major league debut on the mound for the Cardinals. The first three batters reach to load the bases, then Adrian Gonzalez homers to centerfield for a 4-0 Dodgers lead. Howie Kendrick follows with a hustle double. Mayers needs an out to get rid of that infinite ERA.
Update: Mayers gets a strikeout, killing the infinity.
With the HOF inductions, this made me wonder what the worst start (0-fer for a hitter or worst first outing) for a future Hall of Famer was. Any idea?
Hans » I don’t know about a single game, but Greg Maddux’s first season was pretty bad.
