"On April 16, 1975, the 37-year-old Marichal made his final start with the Dodgers, and what ended up being the last outing of his career. Facing the Cincinnati Reds, Marichal pitched only 2.1 innings while allowing four runs on six hits. He also walked two while striking out no one."
"Marichal originally signed with the Dodgers on March 15, 1975 and it came as an enormous surprise to many in the baseball world. However, some welcomed him due to the fact that the right-hander was one of the best pitchers in baseball history."
"Marichal finished his career as the 1969 ERA title winner with a career 2.89 ERA that was inflated by the poor stretches he had late. The right-hander was a lifetime 243-142 over parts of 16 seasons in the Majors."
