Here's a Poser ...

This not an official trivia thread, though it may read that way. I stumbled across an odd stat today and am baffled; maybe some younger, clear-headed Bauxite can help me out.

In 1942, Warren Spahn made his first four appearances, including two starts, with the then-Boston Braves. His stats show he had one complete game in those two starts; his win-loss record that season, however, was 0-0. How is this possible? How can a pitcher throw a complete game and not get a decision?

Even if you don't know the answer, feel free to speculate, and to post your own "posers" for the Box community herein.
