The rarest type of triple play, and one of the rarest events of any kind in baseball, is for a single fielder to complete all three outs. There have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history, making this feat rarer than a perfect game. The nineties belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, the club dominating the early seasons of the Premier League, emerging as a winning machine for much of the decade. Mattingly started his march towards history with a two-homer game at home vs. the Twins on July 8.
SEATTLE — Hisashi Iwakuma kept his pitches down and the ball in the ballpark. Tens of thousands of homes across FIVE counties could be left without tap water at Christmas after last... Top experts predict at least 1.5MILLION will be infected on Xmas day...
Few teams could live with a side containing the likes of David Beckham, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, Ferguson’s dynasty perhaps at its strongest point during this period. Easily the most well-known and powerful slugger of this trio isKen Griffey Jr. In fact, with his 630 total homers, The Kid had nearly double the amount of Long and Mattingly combined. Meyer ended up hitting three home runs that night with Ripken's lumber.
Tony Lazzeri was the first player to hit two grand slams in a single game, doing so for the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Athletics on May 24, 1936. J.D. Drew hit the second of four straight homers for the Dodgers in 2006 and Red Sox in ’07, and Stephen hit the fourth straight for the D-backs in 2010. Below are the 11 times in Major League history when four consecutive batters went deep. Tony Oliva, Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall and Harmon Killebrew in 11th inning vs.
He racked up homers in every game from July 20 through July 25 — used the July 26 off-day to rejuvenate — and kept the streak going for two more games through July 28 to tie the all-time record. Ken Griffey Jr. began his streak with a solo shot at Yankee Stadium in a game opposite Yankees Don Mattingly, who, ironically enough, also hit a home run. Griffey homered again the next day against the Yankees before heading off to Cleveland. The Hurricanes may hold the title for the most home wins, but the Yale Bulldogs were just a few points away from the ultimate home win streak.
Trout is only the ninth player in AL/NL history to homer in seven or more straight games, and he's now one game shy of the record -- the eight-game mark most recently reached by Ken Griffey Jr. We have a three-way tie for the longest dinger streak in league history, and the earliest and certainly most obscure member of the club is former Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Dale Long. The lefty-swinging Springfield, Mo. native had all of 132 home runs in his 10-year career and produced a career-high of 27 long balls during his lone All-Star campaign in 1956.
But these streaks have been nothing compared to the streak that Oscar Gonzalez is currently on. He has been on tare in the month of September and specifically the last seven games. There have been a few Guardians players who have gotten on some unreal hot streaks this season. City would, of course, score their own stoppage-time winner during that unbeaten run, Sergio Aguero’s iconic strike snatching the title on the final day of the season against QPR in May 2012. Manchester City may firmly be established amongst the finest sides in world football at present, but a decade ago the club were just beginning to emerge from the shadows following their billionaire investment.
Never before have the Reds lost six games on the bounce at Anfield, but in this strangest of seasons they are yet to win on Merseyside in 2021. Homes remained on the market for 24 days on average, up from 21 days in October. Pre-pandemic, the average time for homes to remain on the market was a month. The following is a list of notable individual player streaks achieved in Major League Baseball.
Not being a fan of baseball, he also said he was just focused on getting an exact measurement and not taking home run history into consideration at all. He wasn't trying to "memorialize it." He did say a University of Colorado professor called him shortly after the measurements came out and agreed with how he came up with the distance. Meyer's high school coach in Honolulu still raves about his power, saying he could come out right now and still hit homers.
With one more win, New York will earn its first nine-game winning streak since April 2021 but it will also tie Milwaukee and Boston for the longest winning streak in the NBA this season. The Mariners have now homered in 22 consecutive games, the longest streak in the majors since Atlanta's 23-game run in 2006. Seattle's string is the best by an AL club since Texas set the big league record with 27 in 2002. Perhaps the most unlikely member of this club with just 89 career homers, Mench started his streak with a monster night, going 3-for-5 with five RBIs vs. the Devil Rays, including a grand slam in the first inning. This was the start of a trend for Mench, who knocked in multiple runs in each of the first six games of his streak. During the 1988 Major League Baseball season, pitcher Orel Hershiser of the Los Angeles Dodgers set the MLB record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched.
In Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Angels, Gonzalez hit an absolute moon shot to the bleachers. The 423 homer was the farthest ball Gonzalez hit this season. This was previously his 420-foot home run on September 9 against the Twins.
"The following day, there were so many reporters there," Meyer recalled. "When you're not used to that many reporters and all of their things tied together in front of you, you know, their microphones. It's pretty intimidating." "The first one I hit barely went over the fence, so everybody on the other team was yelling cheapie and all that," Meyer said.
Existing-home sales have dropped by nearly 37% in the last 10 months, which is a new record. Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save of the season. "Today, overall, I thought I had a better fastball. I had more life with my fastball," Iwakuma said through a translator. "I was able to make an adjustment. I gave up one home run but then overall I thought I had better command than I did the last couple of starts." 45s became the first pitcher to throw a nine-inning no-hitter and lose.
At the dawn of the 20th century, the Bulldogs were unbeatable at home. They won every home game from 1900 through 1908 with the exception of one. That loss came on November 14, 1903, when Princeton came to visit. The final score was 6-11, won on a 42-yard field goal by Princeton's John DeWitt to break a tie game.
Miami and Alabama were not the only teams to win every home game for more than a few years. Many great players kept their school's game day pride alive and played a role in these longest home winning streaks in college football history. Votto set a Cincinnati record by homering in six consecutive games, and then added to it for the longest streak in MLB in three years. Votto hit nine total home runs during those seven games, with most of the damage coming against the Cubs.

Here’s a list of the hitters who have achieved home run hitting streaks of seven games or longer—a feat achieved fewer times than the number of perfect games pitched in MLB history. Nic Claxton made his first nine shots and finished 9 for 10 for a season high-tying 19 points for the Nets, who own the NBA's longest current winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 games. With a five-game homer streak under his belt, Thome headed to the Big Apple with a chance to match the record during a three-game set at Yankee Stadium.
Though higher mortgage rates are depressing some of the demand from homebuyers, supply is also being impacted as homeowners who locked in purchases at lower rates are discouraged from listing their homes. As the Central Bank continues to raise interest rates to tamp down inflation, the housing market continues to cool. Existing home sales fell about 37 percent from their recent January peak. Existing home sales fell 7.7 percent in November from October, according to the National Association of Realtors- November sales dropped a whopping 35.4 percent year-over-year.
Fourteen teams have reeled off long unbeaten stretches at home over the years, all of them spanning several years. In more immediate affairs, the Knicks can't let Barnes get hot if they're looking to continue this holiday heater. Much like the Chicago Bulls before them, the Knicks face another team that has a big decision to make come this winter's trade deadline, which could bid farewell to Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. As memories of the Raptors' 2019 championship run continue to fade, speculation has begun over whether the franchise baton will be passed to Barnes, the most recent Rookie of the Year winner.
The mortgage rate boost that has raised expected monthly payments by hundreds of dollars, has driven many potential buyers out of the market. That kind of power is something we haven't seen from a Guardians player with this consistency all season. This is also the kind of power that will protect Jose Ramirez in the lineup. Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ were the last team to defeat the Blues before their run, their 86-game record stretching until a Xabi Alonso winner for Liverpool in October 2008. Meyer reared back and connected with a breaking ball from reliever Mike Murphy -- sending it deep into the Denver darkness.
"There were people who worked at the stadium full-time," Tennyson explained. A perfect swing, the high altitude and maybe, just maybe, the bat he used all played a role. When Meyer came up for the at-bat in question that night, he had already homered.
The Crimson Tide won every one of its home games—57 in all—beginning on October 26, 1963. Their streak ended one short of Miami's record with a loss to Southern Miss on November 13, 1982. Notably, the loss was Coach Bear Bryant's last home game with the team. "You get comfortable after your first year until you realize you really got to put your foot on the gas and get even better in your second and third year. I think Scottie understands that." The New York Knicks can set some personal and Association records on Wednesday night when they face the Toronto Raptors in the latter portion of a back-to-back. On July 17, 1941, New York Yankees center fielder Joe DiMaggio fails to get a hit against the Cleveland Guardians , which brings his historic 56-game hitting streak to an end.
Switch to the light mode that's kinder on your eyes at day time. Switch to the dark mode that's kinder on your eyes at night time. "For me, I looked at it really as more of a hot streak than anything else," Mattingly said of his steak. "You just tried to ride that wave as long as you can. It's not necessarily the home runs. It's usually you're swinging the bat good in that stretch." The career numbers for the Seattle Mariners’ all-time great are no doubt impressive, but the ever-present question will always be how much better could they have been if Griffey Jr. had stayed healthy?
In Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Angels, Gonzalez hit an absolute moon shot to the bleachers. The 423 homer was the farthest ball Gonzalez hit this season. This was previously his 420-foot home run on September 9 against the Twins.
Home sales plunge nearly 6% - for the ninth-straight month -... Disgraced casino magnate Steve Wynn cashes his chips as he... The NAR added that the current ten-month streak of declines is the longest on record in the data that dates back to 1999. Their run began following defeat to Everton at the Etihad, stretching almost two years before Robin van Persie’s dramatic stoppage-time winner secured Manchester derby bragging rights for city rivals United.
Plus, with the inventory of homes still tight, homebuyers are still having a hard time finding good deals. Expressed in terms of the months-supply metric, there was a 3.3-month supply of homes for sale in November, the same as the previous month. Before the pandemic, a four or five-month supply was more the norm.
As a matter of fact, it was Baylor’s retirement that would kick off this amazing run that had never been seen before in any sport. The Lakers were utterly dominant during this time and it continued on this day 46 years ago. The Black Cats lost their opening two home matches under that man again, Mick McCarthy, to extend their losing run to ten. They also went 28 matches without a victory, 12 more than any other club in Premier League history.
"We're doing our jobs. We're getting runners in from third base. We're moving runners over." Saunders said. The biggest thing that was lacking was we were taking our walks, we were getting into scoring position but we were missing the two-out hits or the ball in the gap and that's what we're starting to do. Have you ever seen a home run that had you wondering its distance? See which power hitters hold the records for longest home runs at Great American Ball Park. Yun believes the 30-year mortgage rate may fall to around 5.5 percent by spring or summer of next year. If that is the case, 'I think the housing market will see some steady rebound in terms of sales activity,' he said.

With rates coming off those highs, “maybe we should turn the corner in sales in a month or two,” he added.

Obviously, the power needs to be there, but if the ball is not hit right off the sweet spot of the bat, it might simply be a dribbler down the third base line. The great Ted Williams said that the hardest thing to do in sports is hit a baseball. Atlanta's Evan Gattis clobbered the longest home run of the regular season with a 486-foot bomb off Phillies ace Cole Hamels early in the second week of September.
But for now, it’s Trumbo who has the deepest blast for the Angels, and the entire 2013 season. If you want to pick a Blue Jay with the best chances of hitting a home run, Jose Bautista or Edwin Encarnacion may be your pick. If you want to pick who has the best chances of hitting the deepest blast, Colby Rasmus should be the early favorite. Colby Rasmus has hit seven home runs this season, two of which rank among the longest home runs of the entire season. His longest, a 468-foot blast off Alfredo Aceves of the Boston Red Sox, was just his second of the season and padded an early season victory for the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 2020 season was weird for everyone, but it was a banner year for Luke Voit. With 22 homers prior to the playoffs, he was the MLB home run leader. This helped him post a .610 slugging percentage across 234 plate appearances. How good of a performance was this? Well, he outperformed his home run number from in 276 fewer plate appearances.
Here are the longest homers of the 2013 season. Not bad for a player whose hip concerns this past offseason delayed his free agent deal. Considering that Cobb has a 2.73 ERA on the season, Rasmus’ long ball is even more impressive. Let’s take a look at the 10 longest home run blasts of the 2013 season. Will Schwarber ever square a ball up this well again?
Napoli’s 460-foot home run was his fourth home run of calculated at 460 feet or more, the most such home runs this year. No other player even had three such home runs. On May 22, Cabrera hit a fly ball to the center-field wall at Progressive Field. Trout hit the longest home run of the season at two different ballparks -- Kauffman Stadium and Tropicana Field .
Meyer reared back and connected with a breaking ball from reliever Mike Murphy -- sending it deep into the Denver darkness. The ball kept going up and up until it hit halfway up the second deck of Mile High Stadium -- a place very few baseballs go. If you watch the video, the camera can't even follow it that high. Meyer admits he never saw where it landed. When Meyer came up for the at-bat in question that night, he had already homered. But players on the field thought it had only gone out because of the thin Rocky Mountain air.
I’ll have to say no, but then again, the left-handed slugger is fully capable of doing so. Is it shocking that the Braves won the World Series during Freeman’s best postseason performance? No, not at all. The first baseman didn’t post an OPS lower than .996 in any of the three rounds he and Atlanta participated in. "The following day, there were so many reporters there," Meyer recalled.
He wasn't trying to "memorialize it." He did say a University of Colorado professor called him shortly after the measurements came out and agreed with how he came up with the distance. "I don't know why they decided to ," Tennyson told me over the phone. Meyer ended up hitting three home runs that night with Ripken's lumber. He then used it the next day, and in his first plate appearance, it broke.
No player knows this more than Mike Napoli, whose two home runs on May 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays rank among the longest blasts of the 2013 season. The latter of these home runs came off of Esmil Rogers for a three-run shot that added to an already impressive Red Sox lead. The home run was also the longest walk-off home run in the major leagues during the past eight seasons.
Prior to 2022, Stanton’s 2020 postseason performance is his best. Unlike some other mammoth homers in baseball history, there are only a handful of stories on Meyer's blast -- the longest ever according to the internet. He seems content with that -- helping out a little bit at MLB clinics on the island and really not talking about his baseball career unless somebody finds out about it.
In fact, it would have been 38 feet shy of the fence in the same location at Comerica Park, Cabrera's home field. Crisp’s average home run traveled 368.9 feet, the shortest average distance of any hitter in a single season with at least 20 home runs in the past eight seasons. The next-shortest was J.J. Hardy, who averaged 385 feet on his home runs. Mike Trout led the major leagues in average home run distance this season , averaging nearly 420 feet per homer.
If the visiting team launches one, it can silence 30,000-40,000 people in a single moment. But if that tater is slugged by the home team, stadiums feel like they start to shake. Had Bourn not made contact, the ball would have traveled only 386 feet and would not have been a home run in any major league park.
During the 2021 postseason, Pederson posted a 75 wRC+ but collected nine RBI in 15 games. So, when he registered hits, they came in key spots. The only thing better than postseason home runs are ones that appear to be traveling to another county. Since Statcast was implemented in 2015, here are the 14 longest postseason home runs during that time.
According to ESPN Home Run Tracker, Gattis' long ball beat the second-farthest home run of the year by 10 feet. When the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox meet this season at the Rogers Centre, the deep blasts continue to fly. If players want to see just how far they can hit a home run this season, it seems like the Rogers Centre is the place to give it a try. That was the scene on May 21 when Pablo Sandoval smashed a two-run home run in the 10th inning off Yunesky Maya of the Washington Nationals. The home run was his second hit of the game, and his eighth home run of the season. The Home Run Derby showcases the best sluggers in the game.
However, his name likely comes to mind pretty quickly for Alex Cobb following the fifth inning blast that Rasmus hit off of him to the third deck at the Rogers Centre. The Rays managed to maintain their lead and win the game, but Rasmus hit his second home run of more than 460 feet this season. His overall performance in the Championship Series is quite interesting, too. While Contreras’ .688 OPS during this postseason round is his second-worst mark, two of his three career postseason home runs have come during that time. He was limited to just 94 plate appearances in the regular season, which led to four homers and 11 RBI. Stanton out-performed both those numbers in 31 postseason plate appearances while posting a 255 wRC+.
