Lew Burdette
Selva Lewis Burdette, Jr. (November 22, 1926 – February 6, 2007) was an American right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played primarily for the Boston and Milwaukee Braves.〔(Lew Burdette at Baseball Reference )〕 The team's top right-hander during its years in Milwaukee, he was the Most Valuable Player of the 1957 World Series, leading the franchise to its first championship in 43 years, and the only title in Milwaukee history.〔(1957 World Series at Baseball Reference )〕 An outstanding control pitcher, his career average of 1.84 walks per nine innings pitched places him behind only Robin Roberts (1.73), Carl Hubbell (1.82) and Juan Marichal (1.82) among pitchers with at least 3,000 innings since 1920.
==Major League career==
Born in Nitro, West Virginia, Burdette was signed by the New York Yankees in 1947, and after making two relief appearances for the team in September 1950, he was traded to the Braves in August 1951 for four-time 20-game winner Johnny Sain.〔(Lew Burdette Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac )〕 Along with left-hander Warren Spahn and Bob Buhl, he gave the Braves one of the best starting rotations in the majors during the 1950s, winning 15 or more games eight times between 1953 and 1961. Burdette led National League pitchers in earned run average in .〔(1956 National League Pitching Leaders at Baseball Reference )〕 When Milwaukee won the 1957 World Series against the Yankees, Burdette became the first pitcher in 37 years to win three complete games in a series, and the first since Christy Mathewson in 1905 to pitch two shutouts (Games 5 and 7).〔(''Lew Burdette: His Moment of Glory Came in '57 Series'', by Lou Chapman, Baseball Digest, October 1991, Vol. 50, No. 10, ISSN 0005-609X )〕 In the 1958 Series, however, the Yankees defeated Burdette twice in three starts.〔(1958 World Series at Baseball Reference )〕 In addition to winning 20 games in and tying Spahn for the National League lead with 21 victories in , Burdette won 19 in 1956 and 1960, 18 in 1961, and 17 in 1957.〔〔(1959 National League Pitching Leaders at Baseball Reference )〕
Burdette was the winning pitcher on May 26, when the Pittsburgh Pirates' Harvey Haddix pitched a perfect game against the Braves for 12 innings, only to lose in the 13th.〔(May 26, 1959 Pirates-Braves Box Score at Baseball Reference )〕 Burdette threw a 1–0 shutout, scattering 12 hits. In the ensuing offseason, he joked, "I'm the greatest pitcher that ever lived. The greatest game that was ever pitched in baseball wasn't good enough to beat me, so I've got to be the greatest!" On August 18 of the following year, facing the minimum 27 batters, Burdette no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 at Milwaukee County Stadium.〔(August 18, 1960 Phillies-Braves box score at Baseball Reference )〕 Tony González, the only opposing batter to reach base after being hit by a pitch in the fifth inning, was retired on a double play. Burdette helped himself by scoring the only run of the game; after doubling to lead off the eighth inning, he scored on Bill Bruton's double one batter later. Following up his no-hitter, five days later he pitched his third shutout in a row.〔(August 23, 1960 Braves-Dodgers box score at Baseball Reference )〕
In 1963 Burdette was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals (1963–64), and was later sent to the Chicago Cubs (1964–65) and Phillies (1965).〔 Signing with the California Angels, he pitched exclusively in relief for the team in 1966 and 1967 before retiring.
