An Oddity
I play a historical league with players from all eras, and in the latest game, Pedro Martinez (for my team) faced Sandy Koufax. My team won the game, 2-1, in 11 innings; neither starter was involved in the decision.
Here's the unusual element to this: in the box score, the player of the game is Pedro, whose line was 7IP, 5H, 0BB, 1R (on a homer), 9K. By contrast, Koufax went 9IP, 5H, 4BB, 1R (on a homer),6K. Fair enough. But when I checked to see who the top three performances of the day were, Koufax was No. 1, and Pedro wasn't among the top three. So while Pedro was player of the game (according to the box score), Koufax was top performance in all of MLB. Hmmm.
