Joe Oeschger Day

  • Firemen's Park 100 Berding Street Ferndale, CA (map)

103 years ago, Ferndale's Joe Oeschger set a pitching record that'll never be broken. He pitched 26 innings for the Boston Braves in a game that lasted just less than 4 hours. It ended in a tie. It was called due to darkness because in 1920 stadiums didn't have lights.

We'll celebrate Joe in Ferndale on Saturday May 20th at the 2nd annual Oeschger Day.

  • Little League games at 10:00 and 12:00

  • Ceremony followed by Old Timer’s Game at 2:00

  • Organist Tim Randles

  • Food Concession by Little League, NSGW & Ferndale Lions Club
