Episode Details

Baseball’s most jaw-dropping moments: from Nap Rucker’s 14-strikeout no-hitter in 1908 to Babe Ruth’s World Series gem, Joe Bauman’s 72 homers in 1954, and Don Newcombe’s pitcher-record homers in ’55. The strikeout parade continued with J.R. Richard’s 15-K debut in ’71 and Roy Smalley’s back-to-back three-run homers in ’82. The home run race exploded in ’98 when McGwire joined Ruth and Maris at 60. The 2000s brought A-Rod’s back-to-back 50-homer seasons, Mike Maroth’s 20-loss nightmare in ’03, and Ross Ohlendorf’s nine-pitch strikeout in ’09. Recent gems? Brandon Phillips’ walk-off homer in ’18 and Giancarlo Stanton’s 400th blast—fourth-fastest ever—in ’23. Baseball’s magic, in all its wild, historic glory.
