    The record is shared by Leon Cadore (Brooklyn) and Joe Oeschger (Boston), who both went the distance in a 26-innings contest between the two teams on Saturday May 1st, 1921.

    One estimate says Cadore threw 345 pitches, Oeschger 319, but the game was called off on account of darkness with the score tied 1-1 - neither team scored after the sixth innings. This was also the longest game (by innings) in major league history, but took only 3 hours, 50 minutes.

    Brooklyn then played a 13-innings game against the Phillies on Sunday, and 19 more innings - against Boston once more - on Monday!
