Historic pitching duel marks one of baseball's great games
In Cleveland on October 2, 1908, Ed Walsh of the White Sox faced Addie Joss of the Naps in a famous game. Walsh allowed only lightly scattered hits and struck out many, while Joss held Cleveland to key outs as the tense nine innings built to a dramatic finish. Both teams competed fiercely as pennant races rattled on with Detroit and Chicago also in contention, making this contest a defining moment in the season.
