Mahler threw hard and had a big slow 12-6 curveball. Though hardly a distinguished major-leaguer, he was involved in a number of historic moments during his short career.\n', '

On September 25, 1979, Mahler and his brother, Rick Mahler, appeared in a major-league game together as Braves teammates, in a game against the Houston Astros at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium. Mickey Mahler gave up two runs in two innings, while his brother, Rick, pitched one scoreless inning.\n', '

On June 5, 1985, Mahler pitched the best game of his major-league career, a one-hitter for the Expos in his first big league shutout in a 6-0 victory over the Giants at Candlestick Park. Mahler yielded his lone hit to Dan Gladden. It also was Mahler\'s first complete game since 1979. "So much of the game is luck," Mahler told reporters after the game. "I didn\'t feel I pitched that well--not that I pitched that badly--but the wind here can help a pitcher. It held up a lot of balls that might have been hit out or gone through the gaps in the outfield. I owe a lot of appreciation to the people in the Montreal organization who gave me the opportunity to pitch in the majors again. I felt like I had a lot to prove to people with other clubs that didn\'t keep me. No matter what I do from now on, they can\'t take away that game I just pitched."\n', '
