that can't be true, this stat seems like it pops up every few years
edit: I can find players traded during a double header who switched teams during the break, but that's it. Maybe I'm getting my sports mixed up lol, I thought this was a thing

One of the more bizarre suspended games in history might belong to the Nationals, who in 2009 had a walk-off win -- in Houston.
The two teams began a game in Washington on May 5 of that year, but it was suspended with one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the 11th with the score tied at 10. The game resumed more than two months later -- on July 9 -- only with many changes.
First, the Nationals' runner on first two months earlier in Washington -- Elijah Dukes -- was no longer on the roster. Secondly, Washington's pitcher of record was Joel Hanrahan, who had been traded to Pittsburgh.
Interestingly, Nyjer Morgan, who had been acquired for Hanrahan, pinch-ran for Dukes and ended up scoring the walk-off run -- in Houston.
