Description
In 1906, the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox battled for 24 innings in a grueling marathon game, with the Athletics winning 4-1 as both pitchers threw the entire contest. Fast forward to 1998, when Mark McGwire crushed his 56th and 57th homers, breaking Hack Wilson’s NL record with unstoppable power. In 1999, 22 umpires lost their jobs after their union failed to secure early contract talks. Then in 2007, Clay Buchholz stunned everyone in his MLB debut, tossing a no-hitter for the Red Sox against the Orioles. And just a few years later, in 2014, the Phillies’ pitching staff combined for a no-hitter against Atlanta, led by Cole Hamels and finished by three relievers — a rare and unforgettable feat.
