On August 3, 1918, while with the Cardinals, he gave up 12 runs in a game and did not take the loss. That feat was not matched for 90 years, until Scott Feldman of the Texas Rangers did the same on August 13, 2008.[1][2]
One of the minor league teams Packard played for was the Independence Jewelers, based in Independence, Kansas, in 1908. Packard pitched a one-hit shutout against Tulsa, Oklahoma on July 26.[3] On August 10, the local newspaper headline read "Packard Breaks World's Record". The game the newspaper was referring to was against Bartlesville, Oklahoma on August 8, and Packard had pitched a perfect game.[4]
To this day, he is the only player in major league history to bear the surname Packard.[3]
