How long was the 1920 Brooklyn-Boston game?

Brooklyn and Boston played 26 innings on May 1, 1920. Leon Cadore and Joe Oeschger each pitched all of them.

What does hitting for the cycle mean?

It means a single, a double, a triple and a home run by one batter in one game. Most cycles wait on the triple rather than the homer, and cycles are about as rare as no-hitters.

Why is it called a grand slam?

The term comes from bridge, where it means winning every trick. In baseball it is a bases-loaded home run.

Can a pitcher throw a no-hitter and still lose?

Yes. One pitcher was the first to lose a nine-inning no-hitter, and another, pitching for the Yankees, lost 4-0 on errors.

What was a designated runner?

A player used only on the bases. One was a world-class sprinter who never batted or fielded.

How are home run distances measured?

Tracking systems now measure every homer. Earlier figures were rougher: Red Patterson paced out one famous drive after the game, and its distance was given as 565 feet.

Why are some early baseball records out of reach today?

Pitchers then threw from much closer and started almost every other day; one pitched 680 innings in a season. Wilson's 36 triples are still the season record.

Baseball counts everything, and its record book holds numbers that look almost impossible. Brooklyn and Boston played 26 innings on May 1, 1920, with Leon Cadore and Joe Oeschger each pitching the whole way until darkness stopped the game, since there were no lights. A minor league game in 1981 went 33 innings: it was suspended at 4 a.m. and finished two months later, with Ripken playing for Rochester and Boggs for Pawtucket. At the other extreme, one game was over in 51 minutes.

Some feats belong to very small clubs. Four homers in a game is one; hitting for the cycle, a single, a double, a triple and a homer in one game, is about as rare as a no-hitter, and most cycles wait on the triple. Grand slams take their name from bridge, where the term means winning every trick, and one pitcher drove in nine runs in a game. On the bases, Cobb's stolen-base mark stood for 47 years, and one designated runner was a world-class sprinter who never batted or fielded. Early records are safer still: Wilson's 36 triples remain the season record, and pitchers then threw from much closer.

The facts below cover the longest games, four-homer games, cycles, no-hitter oddities, speed on the bases, iron men, tape-measure homers, grand slams, big days at the plate and records of a bygone game.
