Happy birthday Mike Marshall born January 15. 1943, pitcher part of the Expos 1970-1973. Did you know Iron Mike was also part of the Seattle Pilots? Bonne fête Mike Marshall, lanceur, avec les Expos 1970-73. Vainqueur du trophée Cy Young comme meilleur lanceur de la Ligue nationale en 1974 avec les Dodgers de Los Angeles, Marshall a été sélectionné pour deux match des étoiles. Surnommé Iron Mike, il détient trois records du baseball majeur pour un lanceur : le plus grand nombre de parties jouées (106) en une saison, le plus grand nombre de parties jouées consécutives (13), et le plus grand nombre de manches lancées en relève (208 et un tiers) en une année.(Wiki F) Marshall, who relied primarily on an elusive screwball, led his league in games pitched four times, saves three times, and games finished five times. He is the holder of two major league records, both of which he set in the 1974 season: most appearances (games pitched) in a season (106), and most consecutive team games with a relief appearance (13). He also holds the American League record for games pitched in a season with 90 for Minnesota in 1979. In his record-setting 1974 season, he pitched 208.3 innings, all of which came in relief appearances. He attended Michigan State University, earning three degrees, including a Ph.D. in kinesiology. In the months preceding his 1974 Cy Young season, Marshall considered retiring in order to work on his Ph.D.Marshall eventually would pitch for the Dodgers that year alongside teammate Tommy John. When John went down to injury, it was Marshall who suggested John attempt a radical surgery that would eventually bear Johns name.
