I'm wondering about O'Niell, Browning, Wells, and Cone...
Or maybe October 5th, 1907, rube Vickers of the A's pitched 5 perfect innings against the Senators; this was the second inning of a double header. In the first game, that lasted 15 innings, Vickers had pitched the last 12 innings, and he got both wins, his only 2 victories of the 1907 season.
Or, on July 4, 1908, New York Giant Hooks Wiltse hit pitcher George McQuillan of the Philadelphia Phillies with the count 2 and 2 in a scoreless game—the only time a 0–0 perfect game has been broken up by the 27th batter. Umpire Cy Rigler later admitted that he should have called the previous pitch strike 3, which would have ended the game. Wiltse pitched on, winning 1-0; his ten-inning no-hitter set a record for longest complete game no-hitter that has been tied twice but never broken.
Or what about that Ruth / Shore game, was that a 1-0 game?
