On August 7, 1984, Yankees ace Ron Guidry turned back the clock with a dazzling shutout performance. In game 2 of a doubleheader against the White Sox, Guidry delivered a masterclass that reminded fans of his legendary 1978 season. Guidry allowed just four hits and no walks while striking out 13 batters. His finish was the exclamation point: three batters up, three batters down, on just nine pitches. It was the kind of dominance Yankees fans hoped could spark a late-season surge. For one night, “Louisiana Lightning” looked like the force of old.
