Joseph Carl Oeschger (May 24, 1892 – July 28, 1986) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball who played 12 seasons from 1914 to 1925. After starting his career with the Philadelphia Phillies, Oeschger was traded to the New York Giants. He was soon traded to the Boston Braves, where he pitched his best seasons.

Oeschger is best known for holding the MLB record for the most innings pitched in a single game (26). In 1920, both Oeschger and Leon Cadore of the Brooklyn Robins pitched 26 innings for their respective teams in a game that was eventually called a tie due to darkness.[1][2]

He played out the rest of his career for the New York Giants before retiring in San Francisco. Never appearing in a World Series over his career he had 83 wins and 116 defeats. In San Francisco he was a teacher for the San Francisco Board of Education for 27 years.

Early life

Oeschger was born in Chicago, one of six children of immigrants from Switzerland. In 1900 his family moved to Ferndale, California, where Joe's father bought {{convert|100|acre|km2}} of land and established a dairy ranch.[3] Joe and his three brothers all attended Ferndale High School, where they played baseball. After high school, Joe attended and played baseball at Saint Mary's College of California, graduating in 1914.[4]

Major league career

Oeschger began his career with the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1914 season. He won four games, while losing eight and posting a 3.77 earned run average for the Phillies.[5] He pitched in a handful of games for the 1915 and 1916 seasons, before becoming a full-time starter in 1917. That season he had 15 wins against 14 losses and a 2.75 earned run average.[5] Oeschger then led the league in losses during the 1918 season with 18, but still had a good earned run average of 3.03.[5] One of the few highlights of his season was his shutout against the Brooklyn Robins on April 22.[6] He also was tied for the league lead in saves, with three.[5] On May 27, 1919 Oeschger was traded from the Phillies to the New York Giants for Ed Sicking and George Smith.[5] He only pitched in five games for the Giants before being included in a trade to Boston for Art Nehf.[5]

Longest game

For the rest of the 1920 season Oescheger won 15 games with a 3.46 earned run average.[5]

Later career

On September 8, 1921, Oeschger struck out three batters on nine pitches in the fourth inning of an 8–6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Oeschger became the fourth National League pitcher and the fifth pitcher in Major League history to throw an immaculate inning. He had his only 20-win season that year, which finished third in the National League.[5] He also had a lack of control, leading the league in walks with 97, and hit by pitches with 10.[5]

Oeschger collapsed the next two seasons, having a combined total of 36 losses with only 11 wins, and an earned run average over 5.[5]

On November 11, 1923, Oeschger with Billy Southworth was traded from Boston to the New York Giants for Dave Bancroft and Casey Stengel [9] Over his career he had 83 wins and 116 defeats and he never appeared in a World Series.[23]

Later life

Oeschger later retired to San Francisco, where he taught physical education for the San Francisco Board of Education for 27 years.[10] He was invited to throw out the first pitch of game one of the 1983 World Series that pitted the Philadelphia Phillies against the Baltimore Orioles. He died in Rohnert Park, California at age 94.
