Ray Caldwell got struck by lightning during an MLB game. He still finished it. And that’s just one of the five.

On this episode of High Heat with Cheddar, I get into Rick Camp’s 18th-inning home run, the night St. Louis Browns fans called the shots from the stands, Bob Brenly making four errors and then hitting a walk-off homer, and how Joel Youngblood got hits for two different teams in two different cities on the same day.

Which one would you swear was made up if somebody told you at a bar? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more weird baseball history.

Eddie Rommel allowed 29 hits, nine walks and 14 runs—and somehow earned the win.

On July 10, 1932, the Philadelphia Athletics knuckleballer entered in the second inning and remained on the mound for the next 17 innings. Philadelphia ultimately defeated Cleveland 18–17, giving Rommel the 171st and final victory of his major-league career.

In this episode of High Heat with Cheddar, Braeden Chadwick reconstructs Rommel’s unbelievable survival act before examining four more pitching performances that look impossible:

• Allan Travers allowing 24 runs in his only MLB appearance
• Leon Cadore and Joe Oeschger both pitching 26 complete innings
• Harvey Haddix throwing 12 perfect innings—and losing
• Tom Cheney recording 21 strikeouts across 16 innings

Some of these pitchers dominated. Some were completely overwhelmed. Others simply refused to leave. Together, their box scores show why a pitching line never tells the entire story.
