It has only ever happened once...

I don't think it's occurred in the past or since.

MLB should give Galarraga the perfecto. If reviews were allowed to turn over the play in the past, then this wouldn't have happened. Yeah, I know, but what about all the other blown calls? Well, this one was an especially screwed up call.

Jim Joyce had the class to apologize for the blown call.

It's only happened once, an umpire apologizing.

In 2012, zack greinke started three consecutive games. Was thrown out of game in the first game in the first inning. Came back next day to pitch and lasted a couple of innings. All star break came . Started the next game after all star break

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.

In 1963 pitching for the Colt 45’s Ken Johnson is only pitcher to pitch a complete 9 inning game No-Hitter and lose 1-0

On June 12, 1970 Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Doc Ellis threw a no hitter while tripping on LSD. He walked 8 men and hit a batter.

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.
