A fond remembrance for the man who threw 3 complete against the stinkin' Yankees in the '57 World Series (including 2 shutouts!!). I first heard about Lew when I found this uncorrected error card from the '59 Topps series:
First, they misspelled his name (Lou??), but it was also a goof because Burdette fooled Topps by posing as a Lefty (using Warren Spahn's glove). No one at Topps noticed until the cards came out and they were flooded with letters from kids pointing out that he was a Righty.
Of course, you'll notice that MLB fudges this one up -- they list him as "Lou" Burdette in the story:
