In 1961 he pitched his second one-hitter (against the Los Angeles Dodgers), but wound up with only 13 wins, ten losses when he was spiked in the leg trying to cover first base. In 1962 it was a twisted ankle that disabled him for 30 days-though he still posted an 18-11 record and picked up a victory in the All-Star game. Somehow, Marichal managed to stay healthy in 1963.

One night, as his wife prepared for bed, another resident surprised a Peeping Tom, who blasted the husband's left leg off. On another occasion a masked intruder shot a woman in the hand, carried her into the woods and tried to rape her-but was impotent and broke into tears. Police questioned Bicycle Bill but could get no evidence that he was "the Mountain Man," as the sniper-molester came...
...Wlldcats will send sophomores Dave Patrick and Ian Hamilton into both the mile and the half-mile, and may add a third miler in Charlie Messenger. Patrick has run a 4:06.7 mile and has a half-mile relay leg under 1:48, and Hamilton is just behind him in both events...
