I was there to watch McGwire tie Maris’ 61 home runs in a season, but that must have been incredible to see Aaron live!
Hard to believe a first baseman not touching the ball for an entire game.
Here's something that might be even more rare: Toby Harrah once played shortstop for the Texas Rangers and never touched a ball in play -- during both games of a doubleheader!
I love those peculiar scenarios in baseball history -- like the extremely rare unassisted triple play.
I was surprised to see how many times a pitcher has struck out more than three batters in an inning -- which means he struck out three batters but then one of them got to first base on a wild pitch or passed ball on strike three, then he struck out a fourth batter. It's happened more than 80 times in MLB history. I would have thought it was more rare than that.
Chuck Finley actually did it THREE TIMES!
