Usually that would be impossible becuase if the guy started and was on the mound at the end, he gets a CG, not a GF. However, if he was moved off the mound and to another position, then brought back in the finish the game, he gets both. Very odd and strange. Sam McDowell did it in <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/WS2/WS2197009020.shtml" rel="nofollow">this 1970 game.</a rel="nofollow"> This post and the one right before it (my post on pitcher taking the mound twice) reminds me that the Retrosheet article I linked to in my post talks about how some of those games featured a guy getting a GS and a GF in the SAME GAME.

He did...alright. Also, I love when a guy like Mike Williams holds an obscure record like that. I thought that in today's one (inning) and done closer world, a lot more guys would be finishing all of their games. But I thought wrong, so very very wrong.

That team only had 5 people pitch all year too. Talk about getting your pitching done on the cheap.
