kaiser wilhelm -lrb- baseball -rrb-

irvin key `` kaiser '' wilhelm -lrb- january 26 , 1874 -- may 22 , 1936 -rrb- was a pitcher and manager in major league baseball .
between 1903 and 1914 , he moved between the major and minor leagues several times .
he played for the pittsburgh pirates , boston beaneaters , brooklyn superbas and baltimore terrapins .
after 1914 , wilhelm spent time as a player , manager and scout for the minor leagues .
in 1921 , he became the manager for the philadelphia phillies and pitched in four games for the team .
wilhelm held the minor league baseball pitching record for consecutive scoreless innings for 97 years , but he was not recognized as the record holder by baseball officials until 2004 .
baseball officials declared wilhelm the record holder a few days before brad thompson was thought to have broken the record .
two days after wilhelm 's streak was thought to be broken , `` the new york times '' reported that a historian found three scoreless innings that were previously left off of wilhelm 's streak , indicating that his record had not actually been broken .
wilhelm is still the current record holder .
