another baseball quirk. thats why we love it.

The recent Nationals vs. Astros game. A make up from a rain delay that happened back in May. Hanrahan, the original starting pitcher for the Nationals, since traded to Pittsburgh, got the win, on his day off. Now, Imagine for a second this totally possible situation...

Had Hanrahan been traded to Houston, and been brought in as relief instead of LeTroy Hawkins, Hanrahan would have been credited with a win and a loss, on the same day, in the same game, for two different teams.

Chew on that.
