Greg Minton holds the live ball era record. Ed Killian had a streak of over 1,000 homerless innings in the early 1900s.

I like records that are so off-the-charts that they will likely never be equaled, much less surpassed....such as Fernando Tatis hitting two grand slams in one inning.

Honorable mention to the Minnesota Twins for making two triple plays in one game.

Both involved the same scoring play and players. Gaetti to Newman to Hrbek, 5-4-3. I remember watching somewhat non-intently and first thinking that for some reason they were showing a replay from earlier.

Yes, both were around the horn as a result of a ground ball, much rarer than line drive triple plays. You'll never see that again.

On August 22, 1915, the Washington Senators scored a run without an official at bat in the inning, as of 1995 the only time that had ever been done in a major league game.
