» May 2, 1904: At Huntington Grounds, the A's Rube Waddell stops Boston on one hit, a spoiler by Patsy Dougherty in beating Jesse Tannehill, 3-0. Rube taunts Cy Young to face him and suffer the same fate, and the two aces will square off on the 5th.

» June 27, 1904: Dougherty has another three hits as the Highlander beat their old teammate Jesse Tannehill and Boston, 8-4. Boston leads the AL by just a half game. Long Tom Hughes will win tomorrow to stretch the lead to one 1/2 games.

The afternoon contest proves a classic as Philadelphia's Rube Waddell bests Cy Young in a 20-inning marathon, when the Athletics prevail, 4-2. Boston outhits the A's, 15 to 13, but the 38-year-old Young loses on an error, hit batsman and two hits. Young walks nobody in the 20 innings, while 1B Bob Unglaub records 31 putouts. Philadelphia C Ossee Schreckengost works 28 innings in one day, a ML record.

» May 25, 1906: Jesse Tannehill snaps the Boston Pilgrims' 20-game losing streak-19 at home-with a 3-0 win over the White Sox. Jesse's batterymate Bob Peterson drives in all the runs in a game that takes one hour and 15 minutes. Both of these loss streaks by Boston are AL records. Both Boston teams will finish last, while both Chicago teams finish first. It's the first time two cities have had two winners and two cellar-dwellers, and it won't happen again until 1921, when New York has the winners, and Philadelphia the last-placers.

» April 12, 1911: The Reds suffer their worst Opening Day ever, losing to the Pirates, 14–0. Babe Adams tops Art Fromme.

Reds reliever Jesse Tannehill, pitching his first NL game since jumping the Pirates ship in 1902, gives up six hits and walks three in 4+ IP. The shock is so great that Tannehill retires after this game.
