    Never had an 8-RBI game:   Babe Ruth Henry Aaron Barry Bonds Albert Pujols   Never had a 13-K game:   Lefty Grove Catfish Hunter Jack Morris Tom Glavine   Ohtani did both - in consecutive days.   🦄

    As a child, Hank Aaron hid under his bed when the KKK stormed through his neighborhood. As an 18 year old, he left Mobile, Alabama with two sandwiches and two dollars. He retired as baseball's home run king and died today a hero. So inspiring.

    On July 11, 1996, Jerry West traded Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant. On July 18, 1996, Jerry West signed Shaq as a free agent. Perhaps the greatest week any sports executive has ever had.

    This is one of 3,168 outfield assists across the last 5 seasons (including playoffs). It is the only one to exceed 300 feet in the air (301, to be exact). He’s a cyborg.
