- First leadoff HR by a pitcher in any MLB baseball game ever as far as can be determined
- No pitcher in baseball history has struck out the side and hit a homerun in the same inning of a post season game
- Never hit 2 HRs in a post season game: Mays, Aaron, McGwire, Schmidt, Griffey Jr., and a few thousand other guys.

And if another player is discovered who did any of these things that we somehow have missed we can always ask "did they do it on a Friday?"
Also, as great of a HR hitter as Ruth was, he still is no match West Sacramento's Nick Allen when it comes to the number of homers hit in the regular season in California!
