Rube Waddell throws two complete games as Milwaukee sweeps a doubleheader from the Chicago White Stockings

Double Header, Pitching Feats

On August 19, 1900 — 1900 – In American League action, Rube Waddell throws two complete games as Milwaukee sweeps a doubleheader from the Chicago White Stockings, 2 – 1 and 1 – 0. After throwing 17 innings in the first game, the colorful southpaw is coaxed by skipper Connie Mack, who promises him a few days off to go fishing to pitch the nightcap, he hurls a five-inning one-hitter.
