It's a tough call, I like Feller's ONLY opening day no-hitter, in April 1940.

Tough to top Radbourn, but if we're talking modern era I'd have to go with DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak in 41. Followed closely by Vander Meer's back to back no hitters.

Steve Carlton going 27-10 for a team that won only 59 games all year in 1972 with the Phillies

Owen Wilson 36 Triples, Vince Coleman 130 SB, Mike Marshall pitching in 106 games. Can't forget Hornsby's 40-.400 season.

My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

Colemans 130 stolen bases is such an overlooked stat that sometimes its even credited to Rickey Henderson in 1982

Bob Gibson, 1968. 1.12 ERA. Think about it. Pitch 9 innings, give up 2 runs, and you have to pitch 8 shutout innings to balance it.

considering the pressure and anti-Maris sentiment, it's Roger's 61 in 61.

In 1869, George Wright hit 49 home runs in 57 games and batted .633 (according to his HOF bio).

No the pinnacle moment but Reggie hitting four homeruns in four consecutive at-bats (three with consecutive pitches)in a World Series is darn impressive.

Can't overlook Eckersley's 1990 season where he had:

0.61 ERA, 48 saves, and walked only 4 batters!!

Indeed, you picked a great moment in recent BB history. I will
never forget that 6th game of the 1977 World Series. Reggie not
only hit three Home Runs, but he did this off 3 different Dodger
pitchers. And, as you said each HR was hit on the first pitch.

In the last at bat in the 5th game he hit one, also. So, that
gave Reggie 4 consecutive HRs. Jackson's total for this Series
was 5 HRs. Reggie Smith, of the Dodgers hit 3 HRs in this Series
so a tricky Trivia quiz is.....How many HRs did Reggie(s) hit
in the 1977 W.S.?....8 all together.

Won't say this is the greatest, but Steve Carlton winning 27 games for a team that went 59-97 is something.
