In fact, it literally only happened 8 times in the entire decade of the 70's
Woodie Fryman 7/12/75 (164 pitches, the highest of the decade)
John Montefusco 8/13/75
Dan Warthen 8/13/75 (against Montefusco)
Steve Rogers 8/15/75
Steve Rogers 8/19/75
Jim Barr 9/24/75
Woodie Fryman 6/8/76
Steve Dunning 8/7/76
Koufax did it the most of anyone all time, 16 times. Which could explain part of his arm problems and early retirement....just speculating of course.
