That is kind of neat....probably will never happen again with the advent of closers

Rogers Hornsby's .400 average...across a five year span.

Phil Niekro led the league in both wins and losses in 1979, the last year of a three-year stretch in which he pitched more than 1000 innings.

Greg Minton holds the record for innings without allowing a homer - 270 straight.

Warren Spahn hit at least one home run in 17 straight seasons

Speaking of things that will never be done again - four 20-game winners on the 1971 Baltimore Orioles. Jim Palmer was the last of the four to get his 20th. The 1920 White Sox had four as well.

On May 2, 2002 Brett Boone and Mike Cameron hit back to back home runs twice in the same inning.


This is an NFL one but I thought people might like it.

From 1972 to 1980 each Super Bowl winning team's quarterback wore number 12.

Greg Minton holds the live ball era record. Ed Killian had a streak of over 1,000 homerless innings in the early 1900s.

I like records that are so off-the-charts that they will likely never be equaled, much less surpassed....such as Fernando Tatis hitting two grand slams in one inning.

Honorable mention to the Minnesota Twins for making two triple plays in one game.

Both involved the same scoring play and players. Gaetti to Newman to Hrbek, 5-4-3. I remember watching somewhat non-intently and first thinking that for some reason they were showing a replay from earlier.
