On July 26, 2021, as a member of the Houston Astros, Abraham Toro hit a home run against the Seattle Mariners in game one of a three game series. He was then immediately traded to the Mariners. In games two and three, he hit home runs against the Astros, making him the only player to homer against his future team and former team on back to back games (with an extra, bonus home run thrown in during game 3). Later that season, on August 31, he hit a grand slam, once again against the Astros, off of reliever Kendall Graveman, the man he was traded for.

I appreciate this comment. I was trying to figure out how the umps would rule a player out if he whipped his helmet off and held it between himself and the tag. I was thinking some sort of unsportsmanlike conduct ruling, but this is a pretty fair interpretation of the rule to cover that scenario. Certainly the player would have intended his helmet to be in his hand, regardless of where helmets are generally intended to be used.

[@rocketleaguegamecasts8284]

We need a Jacky Chan skit, where he ends up in a baseball game at first base, steals second and stumbles midway to the ground. Second baseman gets the ball and runs to him, and Jacky is evading the tag on the ground. Cut to both their faces, Jacky looks comically horrified, while the second baseman stares madly at him, next second he starts to try tagging Jacky, while he evades/defends the tag Kung-Fu style for a minute, just to entangle the second baseman in his own uniform scoring the game winning run while the second baseman cannot free himself or the ball 🤣

[@emeraldaly7646]

>3 strikeouts in one inning is how we were able to get a 27-strikeout no-hitter in the minors. A highly touted prospect for the Pirates many decades ago named Ron Necciai threw such a game. It wasn't perfect; he gave up a walk, hit a batter, had an error in field behind him, and, crucially, had a man reach on a passed ball. That error was one of only two balls the opposing team put in play the entire game (the other was a successfully converted groundout); one wonders if his fielders started to get bored and zone out.

[@imsatanscott]

The odds of catching every foul ball at an A's game are pretty good if you're the only person there.

[@nuggetoftruth865]

9:13 the odds aren’t actually 1/1.6 billion. That would be the odds of 2 *specific* chosen innings to be immaculate, while in a game it can be *any* 2 innings out of 9. There are 36 combinations of 2 innings, and the odds of getting a double immaculate inning in *any* of them is 1 - (1.59bil/1.6bil)^36 ≈ 1 in 44.4 million. Multiply by 1/9 for the odds of starting in the same place in lineup and it surprisingly comes out at a perfect 1 in 400 million chance for at least 2 immaculate innings in a game against the same batters.

[@bigtodd]

Yeah those odds are super misleading. There’s way more chances for an immaculate inning than a perfect game.

[@Blazingstoke]

I question that whole thing, given the comparative rarities of immaculate innings and perfect games. I mean, if the odds against throwing an immaculate inning are 4x as high as the odds against throwing a perfect game, why is the perfect game 4.78x _rarer_ in MLB history?

A dropped third strike home run to lose sounds like the most horrific thing that could possibly happen to a team sans a player dying on the field. It’s probably MORE likely for someone to die during a game than this happening.

[@cryptocinna]

hes out by stepping out of the batters box though, right?

[@wateriswet0510]

I can't confirm this, but in my extensive baseball knowledge, this is the only time I've heard of that ever happening, conversely, cases like Ray Chapman and Alfredo Edmead among others are well-known instances of professional baseball players dying on the field, so yes, it is more likely to die on the field tham hit a dropped third strike home run

[@LordPichuPal]

@@cryptocinna The batter would only be out if he gives himself up. If he takes multiple steps towards the dugout and no attempt to run for 1st, you can call him out because he gave up the out. However, by rule the batter makes his own baseline to 1st, so if he does take a step towards the dugout but quickly realizes the ball was dropped and starts running, it's still legal. As a little league and high school umpire for 17 years, I've had countless arguments with coaches over the dropped 3rd strike rule because of this very fact. So many of them never seem to understand what "giving themselves up" means when you try to explain why the batter wasn't out right away, especially at lower levels.

[@B.L.Hobbies]

Baseball is just such a unique and amazing sport. Good thing we have BDE to make us some interesting videos about it❗

[@JonahMarksMusic]

The thing to remember about immaculate innings is that pitch tracking hasn't existed for a while, so tons of 3 strikeout innings likely happened before the actual number of pitches were tracked that were done in 9 pitches.

[@TheWardog158]

Also, with the immaculate innings and a lot of the other examples in this video, statistics don't always work the way they're being used. For example, 1 in 40,000 would probably be the odds of an immaculate inning IF the batters and pitchers were completely random. BUT, if you were to take the best pitcher(s) and have them go against the worst 3 batters on the worst team who also happen to swing a lot, then the odds of an immaculate inning would skyrocket. The application of general statistics onto specific scenarios with added variables doesn't give an accurate representation of the real odds of something happening. So, 1 in 1.6 billion and not even possible to calculate for two immaculate innings in the same game? Nah, even more so because it was the exact same three batters. For all we know they were told to swing at everything, or just trying to go home, or just terrible, or any other number of possibilities that impacts the likelihood of an immaculate inning happening.

[@B-Ran_the_Man]

The odds of calling a grand slam in the specific inning and the specific player is just nuts!!! Add on the 1/300,000 chance of that person winning the tickets to attend the game has to make the odds in the high billions or even trillions!!

[@PFBM86]

In 1990 the Red Sox hit into two triple plays... against the Minnesota Twins... in the same game. The odds of that happening again might be even lower than the odds of a team throwing two immaculate innings in the same game. Since strikeouts have become so much more common than they used to be, the rate of immaculate innings has skyrocketed in recent years to the point that they are actually more frequent than triple plays. Since 2014, there have been 46 immaculate innings in MLB compared to 45 triple plays.

[@PFBM86]

More fun facts: After becoming the first and to date only team to hit into two triple plays in a game, the Red Sox tied an American League record in the very next game against the Twins the following day by hitting in 6 double plays. In spite of this, the Red Sox won both games. The Twins also hit into 4 double plays in the following game, making it the only 9-inning game in MLB history with 10 double plays. That 1990 Red Sox team grounded into 174 double plays, which is the single season team record. In spite of this, they still won the AL East with an 88-74 record before being swept by the A's in the LCS.

He came in as a defensive replacement in the Jays/Red Sox game, and also played for the Astros back on June 26. He's at least the second player to do so (Joel Youngblood did it, too.) 3. Will Wagner ended up making his official MLB debut (June 26, suspended game) 47 days before his first day in the majors (August 12th) because he appeared in the second half of the suspended game. I think a few players have done this (Juan Soto is the last one I remember).

You didn't mention Harvey Haddix's 12 inning perfect game in 1956, which he lost in the 13th, there has never been another extra-inning perfect game in MLB before or since. There have been extra-inning no-hitters, but no-hitters are way more common. Fun Fact: Haddix was originally credited with a perfect game, since he did pitch 12 perfect innings. Years later MLB changed the rules such that Haddix's perfect game no longer counted since it (and the game) was lost in the 13th inning. A perfect game only counted if the game ended perfect, not just nine innings.

The way it ended had to be so frustrating. After 12 innings of a perfect game, it was broken up by an error in the 13th (runner reached 1st on E5, throw to 1B). Haddix tried to save the now no-hitter by intentionally walking Han Aaron to set up a double play to end the inning, which failed when Joe Adcock double to deep centerfield. The Pirates had 12 hits in that game, and didn't score once.

There was a one-armed kid in a baseball camp I volunteered for a long time ago. This kid had caught a ball at a game before. One of the main things of the camp was going to a real game for the local team. While our group went up to the washroom, a ball was hit into our section where this kid caught it again. Catching a ball more than once at a major game is already pretty amazing, but for it to end up in a one-armed kid's hand twice is a wild coincidence.

[@picklenik9658]

9:30 actually it is pretty easy to estimate using basic stats. So if we take the 1/1.6 billion chance of any game having two immaculate innings at face value (even though it’s actually even more, since you can’t just multiply 40,000x40,000 because of the first II (immaculate inning) using up one of the nine innings, so you need to adjust for an II occurring in only 8 innings, but whatever). Now we consider that an II by nature can only have 3 batters, and the 3 batters will always occur according to the set batting order. Thus, the odds that the second II would have the same 3 batters as the first is just 1/9. This is because whichever 3 are part of the first II doesn’t effect the odds. (Like rolling a dice and then a second dice having 1/6 odds of rolling that same number no matter what). Taken altogether, there is approximately a 1/14.4 billion chance that two II’s happen to the same 3 batters in a game. (Approximation because the existence of pinch hitters would make it slighter rarer, we could round up to maybe 1/14.5 billion)

This just sounds insane lol

[@kigas24]

This is the best baseball channel by far

[@caffeineadvocate]

And then Javy Baez says, “I think I can help him make a part two to this video..”

[@blakesmith2101]

This is the best baseball KZbin video I have ever watched!

[@aridddle]

I know it's not funny, but the player's mom getting hit when her son invited her to a game was funny to me

[@Baseball3859]

I remember when your videos used to be poorly edited. You’ve gotten so much better. Keep grinding, and you’ll get to 1 mil subs.

[@cooperkrieg8956]

This is too crazy!

[@stevenmount-fw5go]

By far my fav sports channel!!

[@monsterboy4959]

Team under 20 minutes

[@MetFanMac]

Joel Youngblood didn't go so far as to play for both teams in the same game, but he did play for two different teams on the same day, starting for the Mets in the first game of a doubleheader, getting traded midgame, flying to Philadelphia, and pinch hitting for the Expos in the evening.

[@gabrielrockman]

Youngblood didn't just play for two different teams on the same day. He got hits off Ferguson Jenkins and Steve Carlton that day. He got base hits off two different hall of fame pitchers while playing for two different teams.

Dear Mr. Baseball Doesn't Exist man: This has come up a few times so I just wanted to offer: "koshien" isn't pronounced "ko-shen" but "ko - she - en." "En" is (being used as) a suffix that means park or garden. Don't wanna be that guy (nobody expects you to have perfect Japanese pronunciation of course), just thought it'd be worth fixing for future vids. Keep up the great work!

[@TheTEN24]

Love hearing these rare events I know for me a highlight growing up was I once pitched an immaculate inning. Dave steib is a legend his luck that one year is insane

[@VoidDWG]

8:17 - what league is this?

[@elite-lf3bv]

minor leagues I think

[@wArGa5m1]

Single A - inland empire 66ers vs visalia rawhide

[@Js-eq7yd]

That catcher was an absolute clown

[@pizza4paddy]

Minor League Baseball The 66ers are an angels team but I don’t know about the Rawhide

[@drayyoutube5843]

Another play that happened for the first time in MLB history just happened tonight as I’m typing this! The LA Dodgers walked off with a grand slam in the World Series (Game 1)!

[@henrybarker8291]

[@dub5508]

You’re right

[@Mets-Yanks_World_Seires]

Yeah

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

This was an S tier video. This is the type of video I send to people who dont even care about baseball.

[@baseballgod1102]

I've seen all these plays before, but this was an amazing video just because of the commentary.

[@ginomoreno5117]

Bro, I watch a lot of "crazy" baseball videos, but THIS is so excellent and better than them all! Keeping making content. You deserve a million subscribers!

[@Android480]

These videos are structured like a 30 second TikTok, except over 10+ minutes. It’s intense.

[@thebookdoc.writing.and.editing]

My one gripe with Jim Palmer is that he did not make me a millionaire. Baltimore ran a promotion called The Strikeout Sweepstakes in 1976. All you did was send in a post card and if your post card was selected, the events of the inning would dictate your prize. I was all of 13 at the time hunting player autographs through the mail and I listened to the Orioles EVERY NIGHT. As part of my to-do list I sent in a post card. When I heard my name over the radio 170 miles or so away on WBAL, I was incredulous. I was so glued to my radio while I did my homework like I did with every Orioles broadcast, I didn't even move to yell out something to my family. As the lack of strikeouts dwindled from $1M to [whatever the second option was] to the third... I lost track of the game and the simple fact that Palmer did his job. I am sure it was no runs, no hits, no walks. I won 4 tickets to an Os game as the last option, and I actually used them about 20 years later. They were only supposed to be good for a year, but I think the management/office said "ah, we might turn this into a promotion too." I almost wish I didn't turn them over, because that was a rare bit of memorabilia. The Os won the game I brought my small family to. And the Operations people were awesome to allow my belated claim.

[@farting_donkehy]

That clip of the guy at the Os game with the beer and the phone was faaaantastic!

[@bk_goatkim679]

The amount of research and everything you do is awesome ❤

[@WillC]

Really appreciate how much effort went into this video - these are some crazy finds.

[@existskk99]

Love the videos dude 👍

[@SteveShaw-w8c]

Wow! The rarest play of all time was a GrandSlam! Jay Bell hits a GrandSlam in the 6th inning for a promotion for someone to win a Million Dollars is incredible, and this isn't something everyone is "WOWed" about is also incredible. Everyone should know this happened!

[@robertcarpenter6410]

Ummm. They happen all the time.

[@nrvs99]

This is legit content. Terrific video, man.

[@Kerorofan1990]

"Is anything in baseball actually impossible?" Yeah, the White Sox being good.

[@litojonny]

i have never heard of that last story until now, that's insane

[@TexanTurtle7]

The last one is so crazy!

[@ST-Animates]

If baseball existed it would be awesome

[@johnzengerle7576]

That last story is fantastic!!!

[@bpar73]

Nearly everything in this video is insane. Fantastic stuff.

[@FlakFerret]

I can't get over your delivery in the intro. "This guy's helmet made fire."

[@lam.924]

The pacing of this video is a master class of editing and script writing.

[@Skipppp8705]

Just when I thought the other day that baseball doesn’t exist would drop. And here he does 🥳🥳🥳

[@Greeny-it7vt]

Dave Steib is the saddest tragedy in baseball. He deserves to be in the hall of fame.

[@hdogdizzy720]

Best channel on KZbin.
