The story of Red Ruffing and the longest pitching performance in Yankees' history

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about a game in which Carl Mays pitched a complete game for the Yankees despite allowing 13 runs on 20 hits. Thirteen years after that game, another Yankees' pitcher had a quite an unusual pitching performance. This one in very different circumstances.

Red Ruffing is a Hall of Famer, six time World Series champion, and a generally great Yankees' pitcher. You can definitely find many impressive outings in his career. However, this one might be the most impressive.

On June 7, 1936, Ruffing took the mound against the Cleveland Indians.
