Diamond Fans notes: Haddix is best known as the pitcher who pitched a perfect game for 12 innings, but then lost the game in the 13^th when the Braves scored a run off him to win 1-0. He also picked up two wins in the Pirates' victory over the Yankees in the 1960 World Series (one as a starter, one in relief). The big picture is that Haddix, while not an overpowering pitcher, was a reasonably effective National League starter throughout the 50s and into the 60s. His best year overall was his first full season, in 1953. He ended his career as a relief pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles, having amassed a respectable total of 136 wins. That remarkable 13 inning loss in 1959 is enough to secure his place in baseball history.
