who broke up Brian Hanson's no hitter with a homerun with 2 outs in the 9th inning?
601772
Right-hander Brian Holman retired the first 26 batters he faced in an April 20, 1990 game against the Oakland Athletics, needing only one more out for a perfect game. But ex-Mariner Ken Phelps was inserted as a pinch-hitter and hit the first pitch he got into the right field seats at the Oakland Coliseum. Holman retired the next batter to give the Mariners a 6-1 victory.

i think cy young's victory record is the only record that is unbreakable.  i suppose that doesn't make him necessarily the best.  walter johnson was supposed to be awesome.  ever hear the story about bob feller?  he threw a called strike to a guy, and the batter said "it sounded low."

Present day player is Derek Jeter. All time was Mickey Mantle, with Thurman Munson a close second. You can tell I'm not a Yankee fan.... lol!

C'mon. Can we tame the excitement just a hair. I like Alay too, I'm originally from Cuba. But the guy is 2-1 in 6 Starts. Please chill. Prince Fielder ( .298 BA 14 HR 40 RBI 35 R 5 SB) is out there in the NL. Hanley Ramirez (.262 BA 3 HR 20 RBI 53 R 20 SB). Ryan Zimmerman (.274 BA 10 HR 46 RBI 37 R 5 SB) Dan Uggla .313 BA 13 HR 43 RBI 49 R 4 SB). Plus they've all been starters on their teams since opening day. All or any of these guys are far more deserving of the NL Rookie of the Year.

Ok, it is almost sad how badly the 2004 team was broken up. We all know where Pedro is now so here is what happened to everyone else.\n\nMillar- Playing for the Baltimore Orioles, signed there last offseason\n\nMark Bellhorn- Backup on the San Diego Padres signed there last offseason\n\nBill Mueller- Signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers currently on the disabled list\n\nPokey Reese-Originally signed with the Marlins but during spring training just left the team and retired. \n\nJohnny Damon-Signed with the New York Yankees last offseason\n\nGabe Kapler-Blew out his achilles last season is still working towards a recovery\n\nOrlando Cabrera-Starting shortstop for the Anaheim Angels\n\nNomar Garciaparra- Now playing first base for the Dodgers\n\nDoug Mientkeivecz- Playing first base for the Kansas City Royals\n\nDave Roberts- Traded to the San Diego Padres starting in left field\n\nDerek Lowe- Starting pitcher for the Dodgers, who have assembled a team with a lot of ex-Red Sox\n\nBronson Arroyo- Was traded to the Cincinatti Reds this offseason\n\nAlan Embree-Pitching for San Diego Padres\n\nCurt Lescanic-Retired\n\nScott Williamson- Pitching for the Chicago cubs\n\nI hoped that helped

I don't have an answer, but let me rephrase your question so it's coherent:\n\n"What player hit two home runs in a single inning, one as a left handed batter and one right handed?"

Reggie Jackson\n1975 AL Home Run Champion \n\nMike Schmidt\n1975 NL Home Run Champion

Yeah that was definitely one of the best pitching performances this year for the stros. I thought the three pitch ninth helped out alot too. He only threw like 102 pitches I think.

You are thinking of Jim Abbott, who pitcher for the Angels and the Yankees. Abbott had two arms, but only had one hand. He would rest his glove on his stub hand, then flip the glove onto his good hand after he had thrown a pitch. When he caught a ball he would tuck the glove under his stub arm, pull the ball out, and throw it with his good hand. Hw was actually a pretty good pitcher for a few years - he one 17 games on year for the Angels and threw a no-hitter for the Yankees in 1993.

you're kidding, juan pierre is absolute trash, unelss by "best lead off hitter ever" you mean a .235 BA, an abysmal .272 OBP, ZERO home runs, and a whole whopping 4 RBIs. Starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo already has 2 Home Runs, 2 more than Pierre's zero.  SPs Tom Glavine has a better batting average and on base percentage, Livan Hernandez has more RBIs.  Hell Livan Hernandez is more of a threat at the plate right now.  Awful.

Both are equally rare, but hitting for the cycle is slightly more common. There have been 269 ocurrences of players hitting for the cycle, and 232 official no-hitters. The number of no-hitters could be higher if you count those broken up in extra innings and the ones in shortened games (called before the 9th). Prior to 1991 no-hitters ended in extra innings or in shortened games were counted as official no-hitters.
