"Working a scoreless 12th in a 7-6 victory over the Braves, Rockies' catcher Brent Mayne becomes the first position player to be a winning pitcher since 1968 when outfielder Rocky Colavito, as a Yankee, homered and threw 2 2/3 shutout innings against his former teammates helping the Bronx Bombers to beat the Tigers."
Every year in Cleveland, the Indians played a charity game against an NL club and Rocky would pitch a few shut-out innings. He routinely would throw out runners at the plate, on the fly, from right field, which was 370 feet in right-center.
It was a sad day in Cleveland when GM Frank "Trader" Lane sent him to Detroit for Harvey Kuenn.
