What two future HOFer's (position players) pitched against each other in the same game in 1918?

Ty Cobb & George Sisler - Cobb went 2 innings & Sisler one frame. The Browns won the game 6 - 2 and Sisler doubled off of Cobb.

Prior to 1994 (when the three divisions/wild card was set up), one team in the NL and one team from the AL was involved in EVERY pennant playoff (and coincidentally, both teams always won the coin toss for home field, yet with the exception of 1959 NL, LOST every pennant playoff), yet since 1994, neither team has been involved in ANY one game playoff. Name these teams.

Hallco · March 7, 2011 11:46PM

I'm not sure I understand the question, nor am I sure it could possibly right. How could one team be involved in EVERY PLAYOFF? Let's take 1969 'cause I'm a Mets fan. the Mets played the Braves and the Twins played the Orioles. Neither of the 4 teams have been in every playoff.
