NOV 19 - "1969 VIRGINS NIGHTLY HIGHTLIGHTLY"
On opening night, Sam McDowell shut down the Yankee batters on just 1 hit as the Midnight Special outscored the Yankee Air Pirates 4 to 0. McDowell (1-0) was virtually untouchable. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 1 hit and 3 walks in 9 innings. Special manager, Wolfman Jack, said, "It was an awesome performance by Sam. There were some rumblings when we opened the checkbook to sign Sam this year, but that type of outing justifies his status as a top dollar pitcher in this league!"
