On a side note here are a couple odd records that you could bet on.
Most consecutive complete games pitched, season (since 1900)
NL-39 Jack W. Taylor, St. Louis, April 15 through October 6, first game, 1904 (352 innings, including two games that he finished in relief)
AL-37 Bill Dinneen, Boston, April 16 through October 10, first game, 1904 (337 innings)
Most complete game doubleheaders won, season
NL-3 Joe McGinnity, New York, 1903
Most perfect innings pitched, game
Harvey Haddix, Pittsburgh at Milwaukee, May 26, 1959. Haddix had pitched 12 perfect innings before Felix Mantilla, leading off the 13th, reached base on third baseman Don Hoak's throwing error. After Eddie Matthews sacrificed and Hank Aaron was walked intentionally, Joe Adcock doubled to score Mantilla ending the game 1-0.
Did you know that Erine Shore of Boston is often included in the list of perfect game pitchers? In the first game of a June 23, 1917 doubleheader at Boston, Babe Ruth, the starting Red Sox pitcher, was removed for arguing with umpire Brick Owens after giving a base on balls to Washington's Ray Morgan, the first batter. Shore, without warming up, took Ruth's place. Morgan was retired trying to steal second. From then on, Shore faced 26 batters, with none reaching base. Shore won the game, 4-0.
All these are from a record book made after the 1997 season, so if I am wrong on any new records, that is why.
