One of the best pitchers in history is prepping himself like he is about to start Game 7 of the World Series… for a minor league rehab assignment. FKN. LEGEND.
#Astros
Justin Verlander was in the league with Julio Franco, who was intentionally walked by Jim Kaat, who allowed a pair of hits to Ted Williams, who made his big league debut against Lou Gehrig, who hit four home runs off Walter Johnson, who once beaned Cy Young, who debuted…
First plate appearance after being recalled after being sent down for failing to tow the company line... and coming off the bench for it, mind you. Early finalist for biggest GFY home run of the season. Don’t put that man in a corner.

Michael Jordan could return to basketball and not score a single point in 114 straight games and he would still average more points-per-game than LeBron James.
Sammy Sosa hit 20 home runs over a 21 game span from May 25 to June 20, 1998. He had a 1.421 OPS during that span.
Barry Bonds had a 1.422 OPS in 2004.

Jake Arrieta once had a 31-start stretch during which he tossed more no-hitters (2) than games lost (1)…
…and the only way to beat him was to beat him at his own game, as Chicago was no-hit by Cole Hamels in that lone loss.

Yainer Diaz is the first catcher in MLB history to have a multi-homer game during a game in which he called a no-hitter (h/t
