Leon Cadore

Leon "Caddy" Joseph Cadore (November 20, 1891 – March 16, 1958) was a right-handed American pitcher from 1915 to 1924. Cadore shares an MLB record for the most innings pitched in a single game (26). In 1920, both Cadore and Joe Oeschger pitched all 26 innings for their respective teams in a game that was eventually called a tie due to darkness. He attended Gonzaga University, where he played college baseball for the Bulldogs. He was a roommate of Casey Stengel while with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Cadore was orphaned at 13 and went to live with his uncle, Joe Jeannot, in northern Idaho in Hope, a village east of Sandpoint on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille. Cadore graduated from Sandpoint High School, then attended Gonzaga University in Spokane from 1906 to 1908.

Cadore served as an officer in the U.S. Army during the First World War.

Other sources cite Cadore's birthplace as Muskegon, Michigan.

Cadore married Maie Ebbets, daughter of Brooklyn Dodgers owner Charles Ebbets. After a career on Wall Street in the 1920s, they moved to Hope in the 1930s to mine the family copper interests. His wife died in 1950 and he succumbed to cancer at age 66 at the Veterans Hospital in Spokane in 1958. Cadore is buried at Pinecrest Memorial Park in Sandpoint.
