Re: Strange Baseball Feats & Records

From ESPN:

The bad news for Phillies pitcher Scott Mathieson last Saturday is that he only got to throw six pitches against the Braves before exiting with an elbow issue. The good news is, that quick departure allowed him to compile a box-score line that wouldn't even seem to be possible -- but still happened in real life:

0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

In other words, this guy faced one hitter and struck him out -- but still gave up an earned run and, according to the box-score gods, recorded more strikeouts (one) than outs (zero). So feel free to say this all together now: Huh?

OK, this was obviously all made possible by a wild pitch on strike three (to Pete Orr). Which was followed by a two-run homer served up by the reliever who replaced him, Eude Brito.

But it's still really hard to do. Loyal reader Michael Mavrogiannis combed through Retrosheet's box-score files and determined that, over the last 50 seasons, only one other starting pitcher had a pitching line with more whiffs than outs. That was Wilbur Wood, who spun off an 0-4-6-5-0-1 line against the Yankees on July 20, 1973. (The K came on a strikeout-passed ball to the legendary Horace Clarke.)

Re: Strange Baseball Feats & Records

I mentioned this in a thread I started before, but Adam Dunn has hit EXACTLY 40 home runs each in the last 4 seasons. That's a weird stat.

Re: Strange Baseball Feats & Records

I believe Rick Ankiel is the only player to win rooky of the year pitching, and turn around to hit 20 home runs as a position player

Fernando Tatis is also the only player in history to hit 2 grand slams in one inning

(St. Louis Cardinals)

Re: Strange Baseball Feats & Records


The Asheville Tourists hold the record for the fastest game in professional baseball--30 minutes. In the early part of the 20th Century there was one train through town at 2:00pm. The visiting team had to make that train. The game was moved from 1:00pm to 12 noon. Both teams agreed to swing at everything pitched and run hard if they hit anything. The final score was Visitors 2 and Asheville 1. The Visitors made the train.
