IT IS (ALMOST) OUTTA HERE: I love the Internets. I was able to pinpoint the most unusual thing I'd ever seen at a baseball game: an inside-the-park Grand Slam, when Chico Walker of the Chicago Cubs hit one into left field and Kevin Mitchell -- my favorite Giants left-fielder -- couldn't quite save the day. That was August 28, 1991 at Candlestick Park. Never seen a no-hitter (let alone a perfect game) or an unassisted triple-play. Now, of course, it's an event that suggests a fat, slow outfielder (check), rather than some great individual effort (save some tolerable quickness). But that was, nevertheless, pretty awesome. A comprehensive (to 1999) list of the feat can be found here.
