I'm pretty sure it was Tom Seaver in 1984. He ended the first game, which was actually the continuation of the previous night's game and then started the next game and pitched almost the whole thing.\n\nEdit - All right I went and found more info on it. I dont know if anyone has done it since though.

The pitchers name is Tracy Stallard and he was pitching for the Red Sox.  It was actually the only run Stallard gave up that game.\n\nMatt

I'm sure somebody in the history of the game has grounded into a double play in their only Major League at-bat, so whoever that is would be your answer.

i think cy young's victory record is the only record that is unbreakable.  i suppose that doesn't make him necessarily the best.  walter johnson was supposed to be awesome.  ever hear the story about bob feller?  he threw a called strike to a guy, and the batter said "it sounded low."

the day before and after the majar leauge baseball all-star game. This question is kind of misleading because the Pro basball farm teams(triple a doulbe a, and single a) have thier all-star games on those two days so your question would be wrong, but i won't argue with you.

I think it was this game from July 2, 1963\n\nIn a game we will never again see the likes of, Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants and Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves battled for nearly 16 complete innings before the Giants won, 1-0, on a Willie Mays home run. \nBy Sal Maiorana\nCBS SportsLine Historian \nSAN FRANCISCO (July 2, 1963) - It couldn't have happened in this day and age of pitch counts, set up men trying to accumulate holds - what's a hold? - and closers fattening up their save totals just for protecting a three-run lead in the ninth inning. \n\nIf any manager today pulled what Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants and Bobby Bragan of the Milwaukee Braves did on this chilly midsummer evening at Candlestick Park, they would probably be committed to an institution, or at the very least, be named in a grievance by players' union leader Donald Fehr. \n\nJuan Marichal of the Giants and Warren Spahn of the Braves each threw complete games which would be enough to stop the presses in these pitching-poor 1990s. However, this game went 16 innings, and nary a reliever even stirred in the bullpen. Marichal endured the full 16 innings and the 42-year-old Spahn lasted a medically miraculous 15 1/3 before he gave up Willie Mays' solo home run in the bottom of the 16th that ended the epic, never-to-be-matched pitching duel. \n\n"I was a little tired, but my arm wasn't stiff or sore," said Spahn, who faced 55 batters, walked only one - and that was intentional - allowed nine hits, struck out two, and served up 201 pitches. "I wasn't throwing as hard at the end, but I still felt strong. \n\n"You know, once you get past the ninth inning, it's sudden death. You're not looking forward at all, just taking each hitter as he comes and thinking only about the present." \n\nMARICHAL, 17 YEARS SPAHN'S JUNIOR, also faced 55 batters, walked four, struck out 10, gave up eight hits, and delivered a mind-boggling 227 pitches. \n\n"In extra innings, you go out and say you're gonna pitch one more inning so you throw as hard as you can," said Marichal, who was five years old when Spahn began his major league career in 1942 with the Boston Braves. "I said that three or four times and kept throwing hard. I didn't get very tired." \n\nDark could only marvel at his young pitcher, Marichal, who more than earned his ninth consecutive victory of the season and 13th overall. \n\n"Marichal never at any time appeared to be laboring," Dark said. "He didn't throw many breaking pitches, thus tiring his arm out. He just kept slipping across the fastball with a loose, fluid motion. He got stronger." \n\nHe also got a strong dose of inspiration from his opponent. \n\nDark said he considered taking Marichal out in the ninth, but the pitcher didn't want to exit, saying that if the old man on the other side could keep going, so could he. \n\nDuring the first eight innings, Spahn pitched a better game. In the second, Orlando Cepeda singled, stole second and eventually reached third before being stranded. And in the seventh, San Francisco put runners on first and second, but Spahn again wriggled out of danger. \n\nSpahn was always a master of averting disaster. And he did it with that seemingly bionic left arm as well as a cerebrally superior approach to pitching. \n\n"SPAHN IS THE GREATEST PITCHER I have ever seen, bar none," said one-time Braves pitching coach Whitlow Wyatt. "I have seen others who had more stuff, but none had his savvy and his knack of setting up hitters. He knows how to pitch, he pitches to weaknesses." \n\nIn the fourth, Marichal got into a jam when, with two outs, Norm Larker walked and Mack Jones singled. Del Crandall then followed with a single up the middle that sent Larker scurrying home, but he never made it as Mays' throw gunned him down at the plate. \n\nIn the top of the seventh, Crandall o

As a baseball pitcher, the record speaks for itself. He has been outstanding. However, as a person and model for young people, he has failed miserably.

Has to be Sandy Koufax.  0.95 ERA in four World Series!

I guess Jacque Jones -- went 15 for 38, with 5 HRs and 13 RBIs in the Olympics.\nBest pitcher was R.A. Dickey -- 2-0 with 3.00 ERA in 2 games.

Correct the record in the past had been 37 home runs in a single day and on April 13th that changed to 48 homeruns thanks to juiced balls. Hey if you can't juice the player why not juice the ball right?

Chi Cubs 6, Cincinnati 5\n\n Greg Maddux threw fewer pitches than usual, and got another milestone win. Ryan Dempster threw a lot more than usual, and got a heart-pounding save.\n\nIt takes a lot of the unusual to beat the Cincinnati Reds these days.\n\nMaddux beat baseball's hottest team for the third time this season, and Dempster survived a scare while closing out the Chicago Cubs' 6-5 victory Friday night, ending the Reds' eight-game winning streak.\n\n"Ain't never easy," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "Dang, it was a tough one. We needed this one badly. We were due to win one of these."\n\nThe Cubs emerged from a three-game losing streak with Henry Blanco's three RBIs and a short but solid performance by Maddux (7-5), who has beaten the Reds three times this season. He gave up four hits, including solo homers by Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteberg, in 5 1-3 innings.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\nMaddux's 325th career win broke a tie with Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton for 13th on the career list. Eddie Plank is next on the list, one victory ahead.\n\nMaddux took a grounder off his lower right leg in the third, and Baker didn't hesitate to go to his bullpen early when the Reds threatened in the sixth. He lifted Maddux after only 66 pitches.\n\n"I didn't like the way he was throwing in that one inning," Baker said. "He was getting everything up."\n\nMaddux didn't second-guess the decision.\n\n"That's just trying to win," Maddux said. "Our bullpen's done a great job all year. I didn't see a problem with it."\n\nThe problems came when Dempster got into the game in the ninth with a 6-4 lead. Dempster, who had blown three of his last five save chances, loaded the bases with no outs, then walked Ryan Freel to force in a run.\n\n"Early on, I wasn't fully committed. I don't know why," Dempster said. "I just wasn't there. It took me walking in a run to finally calm down and get it done. It was definitely exciting. My heart's still going."\n\nCincinnati Reds right fielder Austin Kearns misses a double hit by Chicago Cubs' Aramis Ramirez in the seventh inning of a baseball game Friday, June 9, 2006, in Cincinnati. Kearns left the game with a hamstring injury on the play. Chicago won 6-5.\nAP - Jun 9, 10:37 pm EDT\nMore Photos\nDempster struck out Felipe Lopez, got Brandon Phillips to line out, then retired Ken Griffey Jr. on a routine grounder to end it for his 10th save in 13 chances. He threw 35 pitches in that one dramatic one inning.\n\nThe Reds were stunned after their first loss in June.\n\n"We knew we were going to win, but things happen," Phillips said. "When Freel got on base, I said, 'It's over."'\n\nThe Reds got back into the NL Central race with their longest winning streak since 1999. On Friday, they drew their first capacity crowd since an opening-day loss to the Cubs.\n\nThe 41,064 fans cheered loudly for Griffey, back in the lineup after missing two games with a sore thigh. The All-Century outfielder was a .417 career hitter off the four-time Cy Young winner, but grounded out and flied out in their two head-to-head match ups.\n\nBlanco had a two-run double and a sacrifice fly off Elizardo Ramirez (2-5), driving in one run more than the Cubs had managed in their last three games combined. Blanco, one of the NL's top defensive catchers, also threw out Lopez as he tried to steal second base in the sixth inning, undercutting a rally.\n\nMaddux is having a season of extremes. He opened 5-0 for the first time in his career, winning all of his April starts and turning 40 years old along the way.\n\nOnce the calendar turned, so did his fortunes. Maddux went into a 1-5 slump -- the only victory was over Cincinnati -- with a 7.75 ERA in his next seven starts. He was back in form on Friday, which started with more bad news for the Cubs.\n\nRight-hander Kerry Wood went ba

I would think this "accomplishment" has been achieved many, many times. I suspect most pitchers have struck out in both their first and final at-bats, and I'd have to believe that many other players have flailed in both at-bats as well.\n\nIn fact, given a few minutes, I suspect I could find several players whose only major league at-bats were all strikeouts.

Damon Berryhill hit two home runs on Monday August 22nd, 1988.  The first homerun in a Wrigley Field night game was Lenny Dykstra, but he was a Met.\nBerryhill hit a 2 run round-tripper in the 2nd inning off Mike Scott and then a 3 run blast off Joaquin Andujar in the 8th.\nThe Cubbies went on to lose the game 9-7 in 10 innings but history was made.

I'm not quite sure of the question, but, In JV softball I got a high of 6 strikeouts pitching for half the game.  That was the best thing I can remember from way back then.
