Bob Porterfield won't string
along with the superstition that
seven is a lucky number. The
Mats fast-balling right-hander
has bid for a no-hit game three
times in the majors and on each
occasion he has been frustrated
by a seventh-inning hit. Each
time, too. the leadoff batter in
the seventh inning administered
the blow.
II was thinking, as the game
went along" Porterfield said,
that if anybody wrecked my
chance for a no-hitter it prob
ably would be Eddie Joost. Re
member in spring training when
I was asked to name the five
hitterS who gave me the most
trouble? named Joost as one
of them. He always hits me well.
But Joost shouldn't have
swung at that PITCH" Porterfield
continued, speaking of the in
side fast ball the Athletics short
stop singled crisply to leftf1eld
yesterday in Philadelphia to
spoil what was a perfect game
to that point. "It wasn't a
strike. It was inside, chest high.
but the fact that he hit the ball
so sharply took a lot of sting
out of losing the no-hitter. I
would have hated to have lost
it on a blooper."
JOost Always Rough.
Joost was a 1872 hitter when he
messed up Bob's game. II don't
know what he bats against me-"
Porterfield said. "but it's plenty.
He's always given me. a rough
time"
Porterfield is accustomed to
missing out on possible no-hit-
tiers. Three times with Newark
in 1948 he reached a late point
in games with Rochester with
no-hitters operating. Twice his
dream ended with two out in the
ninth inning. Another time two
were out in the eighth when it
happened. And the fellow who
broke up all of those no-hitters
for Bob was Russ Derry, like Bob
a time chattel Of the
Yankees.
Bob was promoted to the YAM
KEGS later that season and was
working on a no-hit game
against Cleveland when Dale
