Funny story from the minor leagues way back when. Maybe 40s or 50s or even earlier. Owners kid goes to the manager and tells him that "Dad says for me to pitch." So the manager follows orders and starts the kids but leaves him in the whole game and he gave up 24 runs. True story.

in the modern era, you never see a pitcher left in the whole inning despite giving up 8 runs and 9 hits, unless the manager has run out of pitchers or something

I used to be a big Texas Rangers fan as a kid and they had a segment called A Page From Baseball's Past on the radio. Every day the Rangers announcer Eric Nadel would tell a story from baseball history and they were all pretty wild. That one stuck out. He wrote a book with the same name which would be worth the read.
