On this day in 1908 Chicago Cubs pitcher Ed Reulbach became the only pitcher to ever pitched two shutouts in one day against the Brooklyn Dodgers. He did this during a pennant race too. The Cubs would eventually win it and the World Series. That was the last Cubs World Series Championship. Pretty sad, isn’t it. :What Reulbach did that day is a record that is unlikely to ever be matched. Reulbach was a fine major league pitcher, he compiled a career record of 182-106 with a 2.28 ERA in 12 seasons, mostly with the Cubs.
this is insane. no way this ever happens again.
