Eleven years later, on April 19, 1996, while managing the Orioles, Baltimore trailed the Texas Rangers 10-7 after having failed to score in the top of the 8th. In the bottom of the eighth, Texas scored 16 times to win 26-7.
Probably the only two 26-7 games ever played, and Johnson managed and lost them both! What are the odds?
