The 2 pitchers, yes 2, in the longest games ever. Brooklyn's Leon Cadore and Boston's Joe Oeschger. They both pitched all 26 innings of a 1-1 tie that was called because of darkness. |

I'm inclined to go with Larsen on this one, but I'd have Harvey Haddix 2nd among pitchers. 19 total bases for Shawn Green in his four homer game is the best single-game hitting performance that comes to mind. |

I think it was the 1977 World Series. 3 pitches / 3 homers. Hard to beat that in a pressure situation. |

I remember a game a few years that was pitched by Kerry Wood. He was facing a typically loaded Houston Astros lineup (Bagwell, Biggio, Alou, etc.) in a day game at Wrigley Field. I don't remeber all the details, but I remember him giving up one hit and striking out about 20 without giving up a walk. I read the box score the next day and I thought "This has got be to be just about the greatest game anyone has ever pitched." |

Strikeouts are overrated, I believe Clemens gave up 2 runs in his 20 K performance, Woods was better I believe a 2 hit shotout. I don't think they last 12 or 13 innings. |

The time outfielder Jose Canseco headed that home run was impressive. Eat your heart out Bo and Deon. Jose not only did two sports, he did them on the same play. |

Trivia answer would be Jim Abbott throwing a no-hitter which could be considered one of the most remarkable feats.How about Pete Gray getting 3 hits and 2 rbi's in a game vs the Yankees and Atley Donald who had a career record of 65-33.The guy had only one arm! |

Maybe not THE best, but a badly injured Pedro Martinez coming in in relief and pitching 6 near perfect innings to keep the Red Sox alive against the Indians in the 99? playoffs was an incredible performance. |

It is great when you finally get everything to come together after trying and failing for soo long. The NY Giants did it in 1954 and a few years earlier Pat Seerey did it. |

Hard hittin' Mark Whiten had 4 hr's AND 12 rbi's in one game.I think the funny thing is that he finished the season with 99 rbi's.If he couldve just hit that 5th homer instead of popping up he wouldve had a 100 rbi season.His 2nd best season he had 53 rbi's.He also was coming off nearly a month long stretch of not hitting a home run before that game |

I was actually at the game at Dodger Stadium when Park gave up the two Grand Slams in one inning...after the first one, he was booed badly. When Tatis came up again with the bases loaded, I clearly remember my friends and I taking bets from the guys behind us that if he hit another, we would buy the next round of beers...that was an expensive day for us. Park was booed for nearly 10 minutes after the second. Tatis was cheered loudly though even when he took a curtain call. We were shocked to see the second one go out. I still have the ticket... |

I think one has been missed and I throw it out there as an honorable mention. Ernie Shore's perfect game for the Boston Red Sox after the starting pitcher walked the first batter and was thrown out for arguing balls and stikes. Poor Babe Ruth. Here is Shore's 1916 Green Joyce card: |

I dont know if any of you have seen video of Wood's 20K game, but it is an incredible performance. I downloaded the game off mlb.com because I hadn't seen it and was curious. The things he was able to do with the ball back then were incredible. I recall an article talking about the most dominant single-game pitching performances based on several statistical measurements, and Wood's was #1. Number 2 was a Koufax perfect game I think. |

Addie Joss. Perfect game, on the next to last day of the 1908 season, in a four team pennant race, against another Hall of Famer(Ed Walsh).In a pressure packed game that was incredibly hyped before it even started, Joss threw only 74 pitches! And he was perfect! That's an average of 2.74 pitches per batter. The Indians (Naps) won, 1-0. |

Although not the greatest anything, I like the no name players who due to statistical quirks or by advantage of extended games, wind up in the record books. Players such as Gus Triandos having the best rate of success in stolen bases solely because he stole a base in his only attempt, and Tom Cheney who struck out 21 of the opposition in a game, and Johnnie Burnett who got nine hits in a game. |
