Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins play the longest tie in history

On May 1, 1920, the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins play the longest tie in history – a 26-innings marathon. Both starters, Joe Oeschger of the Boston Braves and Leon Cadore of the Brooklyn Robins each pitch a 26-inning marathon. Braves second baseman Tony Boeckel and Charlie Pick each go 0-for-11 at the plate during the 1-1 deadlock Braves Field, to set a major league record for hitless at-bats in one game.
