To have two different pitchers throw 9 strikes in a row in the same game is ridiculous. To have the same 3 SO victims in both of those innings is mind boggling.

Yep. I think the next rarest feat in MLB baseball history was the unassisted triple-play - done only 15 times. Except for the only father/son HR in the same game - by Griffey Sr. and Griffery Jr. - this is is very likely the only time this incrdible accomplisment will ever happen in a MLB game. And for you foks saying Johnson hitting a bird may never happen again, yada, yada, yada, that wasn't a "feat", that was just merely a freakish thing that happened in baseball and is not within the playing rules of the game.

Also, statistically impossible. Which begs the question, is reality breaking down? Needless to say as I pondered these things, this video shows up in my You Tube feed.
