In MLB, no AL team has scored in every inning of a nine-inning game (although 6 teams have scored in 8 innings of home games they won). It’s happened 7 times in the NL.
Nobody has shot 58 in a PGATournament. 59’s have been shot a handful of times, including twice last year.
a Japanese player shot 58 last year on their tour.
There has never been (in MLB) a true perfect game of more than nine innings. Two pitchers pitched nine perfect innings during scoreless ties, but both were eventually touched in extra innings.
There has never been (MLB) a true double do-hitter–that is, a game which ended with zero hits on the scoreboard. There was one occasion where neither team made a hit in nine innings, but one team managed a hit in extra innings.
Don’t know if this counts, but no Super Bowl has ever been won in overtime.
Has a MLB pitcher ever thrown 27 strikeouts in a nine inning game?
Jim Laker took 19 in a test against Australia. If I recall correctly the other dismissal was a run out, which (if true) means he was the only English bowler to take any wickets in the match. Amazing effort, especially for a spin bowler.
Staying with cricket, no test cricketer has retired with a test average of >= 100. Bradman was 4 runs short (or one dismissal too many) and retired with an average of 99.94. He was averaging over 100 when he walked out to the centre for his final innings, but was bowled for 0.
Has a goalie ever scored a goal in professional soccer (“professional” meaning whatever the highest tier is in any given market)? I know it’s happened in hockey.
ETA I’m not counting own goals, obviously.
To nitpick slightly, the second one was a grade cricket match, not a First Class or Test match. Generally First Class cricket matches are state versus state in Australia, and County matches in England. I’m not sure of the status of the first, but it also sounds like it wouldn’t qualify being called a First Class match.
No. It happened once in the minors in 1952 Class D ball by Ron Necciai who had a brief career with the Pittsburgh Pirates.Ron Necciai - Wikipedia
No New York Mets pitcher in their 50 year history has ever thrown a no hitter in the regular or post season.
No, the record is 20, by Roger Clemens (twice) and Kerry Wood.
Yep many times. Jose Luis Chilvert played in Paraguay, Argetina, Spain, France and Uruguay as well as internationally for Paraguay (including two World Cups, one of which he was voted to the team of tournament) and was voted World Goalkeeper of the year 3 times. He scored a total of 62 professional goals, the vast majority (probably all, but I can’t verify that) came from penalty kicks and free-kick socring opportunities.
Goalkeepers have scored directly from their own areas a few times too.
for example:
(I’m not sure if it is really ‘the longest soccer goal ever’, though it must be close).

They’ll generally be on penalty kicks or set piece plays (generally a desperation header off a corner at the end of the game). Can’t think of any in the run of play off the top of my head.
Josh Gibson is asserted to have done it in a Negro Leagues game, but no documentation or photo exists.
Nor has any San Diego Padre pitcher in their 43 years. Boston’s Jason Varitek has caught 4 himself, and that record should be 5.
Oops please ignore the link in my last post (for anyoen wondering what it is I was psoting on another forum about bad music that I had composed and that was an example) the actual link is:
This article details have the lack of evidence that it was done.
Even that doesn’t seem to meet the spirit of the suggested feat, which is that every out was recorded by strikeout. One batter grounded out in this game; Necciai was credited with 27 strikeouts because he threw four in one inning, when a batter reached first on a dropped third strike.
The three biggest auto races in the world are the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, NASCAR Daytona 500, Indy 500 and LeMans.
No one has ever won all four in their career, although at least three drivers have won three of them. AJ Foyt, Mario Andretti and Graham Hill.
The chances of it happening in the future are remote. Drivers no longer have the freedom to compete in many different series in the same year, which reduces the chances of them running those races when they are at their peak. Columbia’s Juan Pablo Montoya has the best chance as he has won two of them - Indy, Monaco - and is now competing in NASCAR. LeMans runs a minimum of three drivers per car and if hooked up with a good team, he could run the race when he was 70 years old.
There IS a NASCAR race on Indy 500 day, and drivers have driven in both.
