I was looking at a Joe Oeschger card recently and wanted to find out more about this pitcher and what I found was extraordinary. Oeschger and his rival pitcher, Leon Cadore, each pitched 26 innings in one game, ending in a 1-1 tie. The game took place on May 1, 1920, and it was called due to darkness. While neither of these pitchers would be called the most dominant pitcher, it was certainly an impressive feat and in my mind one of the greatest pitching performances. To read more about this game, there was an ESPN article written about it a couple years ago.
