[jerseyshorejohnny]

Great trivia question submitted by reader Jim Vespe: On Aug. 13, 1963, two Hall of Famers won as starting pitchers while two other Hall of Fame starters lost. Name them.

The losers: Jim Bunning and Juan Marichal.

The winners: Warren Spahn and Dave DeBusschere, the latter having gone all nine in a shutout for the White Sox.
