On September 13, 1936, Bob Feller, just 17 at the time, struck out 17 against the Philadelphia Athletics, setting the American League record.
It was the only time someone struck out his age in the in the American League. Kerry Wood would later strikeout 20 as a 20 year old for the Cubs in 1998, the only time a pitcher would strike out his age in the National League. |

On April 28, 1989 Mitch Williams, of the Cubs, entered the 9th inning with 2 outs and a 3-1 lead over the Padres. He proceeded to pick a runner off 2nd without throwing a pitch.
Williams is the only player in MLB history to record a save without throwing a pitch. I was watching the game on WGN and thought it was pretty cool. |

Only one switch-hitter managed to hit .300 from both sides of the plate in his career.
Chipper Jones hit .304 from his natural right side, and .303 from the left. His idol Mickey Mantle hit .330 from his natural right, but .281 from the left. |

On May 18, 1988 Elrod Hendricks managed a team during a regular season major league game, for the first and only time.
Why he signed this lineup card the next day when Frank Robinson is credited as the manager is anybody's guess. Last edited by doug.goodman; 02-02-2023 at 11:09 PM. |
