Posted: September 14, 2018 Filed under: 20th Century, This day in baseball | Tags: Baseball, history, Larry Cheney, Major League Baseball, MLB, New York Giants, sports 4 CommentsOn September 14, 1913, pitcher Larry Cheney of the Cubs gave up fourteen hits to the Giants. In spite of this, Cheney managed to come out victorious, 7-0. It was the first time in major league history that a team has been shut out even while collecting that many hits.

I cannot imagine John McGraw’s tirade in the clubhouse after the game. EEK!!

Oh, man… 😳 That’s the point when you shrink back in the corner and pray you don’t get noticed.
Were they all bunt singles?
Ha! That would certainly make it more forgivable. I tried to find a box score for the game, but no luck so far.
