I stand corrected. Didn’t notice him when looking at the first and last lists. Never managed to hit any others, just those two!
I found just one game with scores in four extra innings (and 33 with scores in three extra innings). There also seems to be only one game with runs scored in 11 innings.
[Although the link is to baseball-reference.com, I downloaded the game logs from Retrosheet to do the search.]
Do you have any more details? There’s about 70 sets in an NRL game, schoolboy league probably plays 70mins though. So 50-60 sets is about 300-0.
bumping this while watching an insane Little League World Series game…
Has any MLB batter ever hit for the double-cycle… two HRs, two triples, two doubles, two singles in the same game?
And on the topic of unusual baseball occurrences, does anyone know what the greatest deficit overcome in the bottom of the 9th (or higher) inning is? How about the largest deficit TIED in that situation? (A 10 run deficit was tied in the LLWS game…)
Hey! The OP said no numerical achievements, just either-or!
No - the only time a batter has had at least 8 hits of any kind in a single game was on July 10, 1932, when Johnny Burnett of the Cleveland Indians went 9 for 11, with seven singles and two doubles.
I have no idea if it’s ever been done before, but I recently heard a radio interview with an umpire who called a perfect game in league slow pitch softball.
mmm
The San Francisco Giants used to belong to that “club”. But, NO LONGER! Go Giants!
?? I’m a bit confused here.
Gaylord Perry pitched one for them in '68, so the Giants (since they moved to SF in the late fifties) would’ve been a part of that club for a mighty short time.
Actually, looking it up on wikipedia, Marichal had one in '63 as well, so the time from inception of the SF Giants to 1st no-hitter was even less.
Are you referring to the time period between Montefusco’s no-hitter in '76 and Sanchez’s in '09? According to wiki the Giants didn;t have any between those years. But that’s not up there with 50 years, or even 43, and of course it’s an arbitrary period of time, not a “never.”
True from a standing start, but relay runners have occasionally put in sub-9 second 100 metre splits in the 4 x 100 metre relay for a long time (at least 1965). And two of the US women broke 10 seconds in their world record run in London.
As long as this thread has been resurrected, we can scratch the Mets no-hitter off the “never been done” list.
In football, has the quarterback ever started at the 99 yard line opposite his own goal, and then ran the ball himself for a touchdown?
In baseball, I wonder if a pitcher has ever been knocked out or hit by a ball hit by a batter, but somehow still caught the ball for an out
In basketball, a triple double but one of the stats is not points (have to do it with a combination of assists, rebounds, blocks, or steals)
I believe someone who blocked a lot of shots or got a lot of steals got a triple-double the hard way-I want to say it was someone tall.
there have been quadrupal doubles on basketball (2 IIRC, 1 with steals and 1 with blocks) but never a quintuple double.
Andrea Chiaradio struck out all 21 batters she faced in a seven inning high school fast pitch softball game in Connecticut.
No, I was the one confused. I thought it was about perfect games, not no-hitters. It was early in the morning, that’s my excuse.
Jonathan Sanchez had a Giants no hitter recently (in 2009?).
Ah, now I get it. Good excuse, btw.
Jonathan Sanchez did pitch a no-hitter, you’re right about that–wiki says July 10 of 2009.
No MLB player has ever hit for a “home run cycle” (solo, two-run, three-run, and grand slam homers in the same game). The only known minor leaguer to accomplish the feat was Tyrone Horne of the Arkansas Travelers in 1998.
