Then there is Juan Marichal beating Warren Spahn 1-0 in the bottom of the 16th inning. A combined 31 1/3 shutout innings by two Hall of Fame pitchers.

Great story, but my mind also flashed to these two games when I saw the title of the post.

Great post, thanks for sharing!

I saw this picture on net54 sometimes around when I started collecting T206s and it always stuck with me. I've always kind of thought of Walsh and Joss as connected. When I got the Joss Hindu to complete this little group of their toughest backs earlier this year, I took these photos. And the BL460 is a brand new pickup in a really fun trade with a board member. I have wanted to a rare back Joss pitching for probably 8 or 9 years, but since that meant either Red Hindu or BL460, I wasn't really holding my breath. Still hasn't really sunk in that I own this one. The Sweet Cap and Piedmont Joss on the left were given to me for free, out-of-the-blue from a super nice guy on the forum after I wrote my introduction post on here 13 years ago. So, my Joss cards have always been a little extra special to me. Didn't plan this post to be this long, but here we are.

The very first All-Star Game, if you will, was put together and played in honor of Addie Joss.

I'm very proud to have an Addie Joss t205 and t206, and a "Big Ed" Walsh t206, in my modest collection.

The original thread-starting post is just outstanding.

Let's not forget the 26 inning 1-1 tie where both Leon Cadore and Joe Oeschger pitched complete games.
