A prime example is the 1968 matchup between Bob Gibson and Denny McLain, where both pitchers displayed their incredible stuff. In more recent history, the 2013 game between Clayton Kershaw and Tim Lincecum, where both pitchers threw shutouts, exemplifies modern pitching excellence. These duels often produce moments of brilliance, whether it’s a perfect game, like Don Larsen’s in 1956, or a battle of wits, like the 1991 World Series Game 7 between Jack Morris and Atlanta's Tom Glavine. Ultimately, these games become legendary because of the precision, focus, and skill required to outlast the opponent.
