When I first saw the old facegen I simply colorized it... but every picture out there on the internet showed a face like the one I ended up recreating from scratch. If you love the character of the old face, I posted that file too even though I'll be using the new one (holke-001wal.fg).

From memory, the starters pitched that whole game. Yep, here we go... And looky there's Mr Oeschger.
May 1: the Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves play a 26-inning game (the longest game in history by innings, although it only takes three hours and 50 minutes) only for it to end in a tie and not count in the standings. Both starters, the Robins’ Leon Cadore and the Braves’ Joe Oeschger pitch all 26 innings.
