BOBBY ABREU RUNNING INTO AN OUTFIELD WALL TO MAKE A CATCH: Intriguing baseball question posed by a WSJ article today -- given that there have been 173,383 major league games played since 1903, have we run out of things that have never happened before in a game which realistically could happen?
Among those black swans listed in the article: five home runs or three grand slams by a single player in one game; having a pitcher twice in one game throwing nine-pitch, three-strikes-per-batter "immaculate innings;" having all nine starters for a team hit home runs in one game; and two players hitting for the cycle in the same game.
