Last time it was an 8-0 sweep for 1962. Will this be closer?

Simmons was a reliable starter for four teams, mostly the Phillies and Cardinals, and was a 3-time All-Star. He set a career high in wins with the Cardinals in 1964, going 18-9 with a 3.43 ERA, winning his only World Series ring. Overall in 569 games he went 193-183 with a 3.54 ERA. After his career he owned a golf course with former Phillies teammate Robin Roberts. He died in 2022.Dennis Boyd is wearing a big windbreaker that seems baggy on his notoriously skinny frame. Better known as "Oil Can", Boyd was at the height of fame brought about as much for his personality as his pitching prowess. Boyd had some decent win-loss records with high ERAs for the Red Sox, but had trouble fighting drug and alcohol addiction, which among other issues left him unable to pitch in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He ended his career with brief stops in Montreal and Texas. Overall in 214 games he went 78-77 with a 4.04 ERA. After his baseball career he returned to his native Mississippi where he has been involved in various business and coaching endeavors.
