Just to chime in on the MLB vs MiLB chat, consider some independent leagues or college ball. I went to see a game in Rochester, MN last year and got into the park with an all you can eat AND ALL YOU CAN DRINK BEER ticket for $30. The skill gaps mean you are likely to witness some strange stuff too, I saw three outfield assists at home plate before the seventh inning. Some stuff probably happened beyond the seventh inning in that game too, but I sure can't tell you what it was.

Chexoid posted:Is Randy Johnson exploding that bird with a pitch in 2001 the most unlikely thing that's ever happened in sports? If it's not number one it's gotta be up there right? I mean, a major league pitch is in the air for on average, what, a tenth of a second? Probably less with Randy Johnson. The idea that an unthinking animal could randomly intersect with the ball at that exact moment is mind boggling to me. I can't even remember another time where a bird has even flown close to that area in baseball, let alone right at that exact height. You could play baseball for a million years and never see that happen again. Cricketers have killed at least three birds in high level matches, so it's perhaps less rare than you might think. Absolutely still an almost infinitesimally small chance of seeing it happen. There was the home run ball that hit not just one outfielder, but two in a MiLB game earlier this year. That's probably rarer. Disco Demolition Night is something that will only ever happen once... but that is something you might be able to say about quite a number of Bill Veeck's best promotions.
