Believe it or not, it was Derek Jeter in 2000. There were no All-Star Game MVPs until 1962, despite the fact that the All-Star game started in 1933.

In a freak accident on March 24, 2001 during the 7th inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Randy Johnson threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. After being struck by the pitch, the bird went over catcher Rod Barajas' head and landed amid a "sea of feathers." The official call was "no pitch". This was only the second time in professional baseball that a thrown baseball had killed a bird: the first one was by New York Yankees outfielder Dave Winfield during a warm-up session in 1983. The Diamondbacks went on to win the game 10-5 without further incident.

As much as anyone can be credited with inventing baseball, Alexander Cartwright is that person.  His 1845 Knickerbocker rules are the earliest ones that can be directly recognizable as baseball.\n\nThe National League is generally recognized as the first true major league; it began play in 1876.  It was a reformation of the National Association, which had begun play in 1871 but was not as cohesive of an organization.  The term "Major League" can be traced to the 1883 "National Agreement" that established the NL and the American Association as "Major Leagues" and all other leagues as "minor leagues."  Besides the National League, other leagues that are recognized as having been Major Leagues are:\n\nAmerican Association: 1882-1891 (several teams joined the NL after the AA's demise)\nUnion Association: 1884\nPlayers League: 1890\nAmerican League: 1901-Present\nFederal League: 1914-1915

The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest recorded home run at 634 feet by Yankee great Mickey Mantle on Sept. 10, 1960, at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Many dispute the record as myth or claim that the ball actually landed and rolled to its resting point 634 feet away from home plate.

Two games comes to mind:\nGame 7 of the 1960 World Series or Game 6 of the 1993 World Series. Both games were World Series clinchers won by Home Runs and both were exciting games. Both were historic as well as Bill Mazeroski is still the only player to hit a game winning home run in a game seven. While Joe Carter was the first and only player to hit a come from behind homer to clinch a series. \n\nPlus it was pretty good games as well. In 1960 the lead changed 3 times before Bill Mazeroski's home run hit his solo homer to left feild to win the game and the series. While in 1993 the Jays came out to early 5-1 lead before the Phillies scored five runs in the 7th to lead it 6-5 . And it stayed that way until the bottom of the ninth with Paul Molitor and Rickey Henderson on base. Joe Carter hit a three run homer of Mitch Williams to win the series 8-5.\n\nI'm sure there has been more exciting games, better played games or historic games. However I'm sure that all baseball fan onced imagined winning a World Series  with one swing of the bat, like "The Natural" did (p.s. the book that the movie was based from had "The Natural" Ray Hobbs actually took the bribe and strike out), Granted that none of us has, unless your name is either Joe Carter or Bill Mazeroski, being witness to it is one of the greatest feeling you can get as a fan.\n\n\nA Close second Harvey Haddix  near Perfect game. Haddix had a Perfect game going into the 13th ining. 36 up 36 down. But lost it in the 13th when the Braves finally break through in the 13th. When Felix Mantilla reached on an error. and Hank Aaron was intentionaly walked. Than Joe Addock homered but he passed  Aaron who was called out and Addock adwared a double to win the game 1-0. What was even more fantastic was that the Braves was stealing signs from the Pirates but couldn't get a runer on base for 36 batters in a row. And than only reached on an error and a walk.
