Extreme Common Sense: MLB No-Hitter Pitcher George Culver on His Career, Pete Rose, Tommy John, and Japan BaseballTrizdon Reynolds hosts a Ray-free episode of Extreme Common Sense featuring former MLB pitcher and author George Culver, who discusses his path from a modest high school start to rapid minor-league advancement, breaking through with a slider, debuting with Cleveland, and becoming a starter after a trade to Cincinnati where he later threw a no-hitter. Culver recounts the late-night Philadelphia no-hitter with minimal warmup, early defensive errors leading to a run, growing nerves, and finishing it against Cookie Rojas, plus near-misses afterward. He describes arm problems, pitching through pain, surgery for bone chips, and a half-season in Japan, including contract disputes.
