I distinctly remember a moment in baseball history where a pitcher was driven to the mound by a cadillac or maybe a limo.....something of the sort. I was almost sure that it was Rich the GOOSE Gossage. I could be wrong though. I'm not sure if this was a game of adoration, an all-star game, or just aregular season game. Please assit me!!

» June 23, 1958: Carl Willey of the Braves pitches a 7–0 shutout against the Giants in his first ML start. Another noted starter is Joe Adcock, playing LF for the 1st times since 1952, who climbs the fence to snag a ball. Willey gives up six hits, including Willie Mays's 1,000th career hit. Willey is relieved by Don McMahon who becomes the first pitcher to be driven to the mound, when a motor scooter with sidecar delivers him from the bullpen.

Maybe you are thinking of the movie Brewsters Millions? Sounds like goose doesn't it?
