Description
In 1969, LA Laker Jerry West scored 53 and dished 11 assists to lift the Lakers to the win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. A picture taken that night soon became the inspiration for the NBA logo.
In 1999, Fernando Tatis, Sr hit a pair of grand slams in the same inning, the first and only to do it.
In 1976, Harry Caray entertained a Chicago crowd with the singing of 'Take me out to the ballgame,' though he never intended to do so.
In 1964, Houston pitcher Ken Johnson became the first and only MLB pitcher to throw a 9-inning no-hitter and lose.
