No-Hitters, Homers & Records: Baseball's Greatest Moments

0:00On April 26th, this day in baseball history packs a punch with no hitters flying left and right. Back in 1944, Jim Tobin of the Braves tossed a no-no against the Dodgers in Boston, winning two to nothing and he even crushed a homer, himself. Fast forward to 1968, Tom Feeves blanked the Red Sox six to nothing in Baltimore, then Steve Busby kicked off his career with one in, 1973 over the Tigers. Nolan Ryan made ways in 1983, passing Walter Johnson's 56-year strikeout mark with 3,508 fanning, a pinch hitter in Houston's 4-to-2 win over Montreal. Meanwhile, Scott Erickson bounced back from a rough year, leading the majors and hits allowed in losses to fire Minnesota's first no-hitter in, 27 years, a six to nothing jam against Milwaukee. Crowds and legends lit up the stands too, like 1947's Bay Bruth Day at Yankee Stadium, drawing over 58,000 to honor the fading icon during a one-to-nothing senator's win.

1:05Hitting feet stole the show with Barry Bonds joining the rare 300 homers and 300 steals club in 1996 and cycles, popping up everywhere from Jose Valentin hitting for one in perfect order in 2000 to Chad Muller and Mark Grewd's The Atlantic right after. Recent fireworks include Trevor Story smashing a National League Ricky Homer record with 9 in April back in 2016, Vladimir Guerrero. Junior's first three-homer game driving in seven for the Blue Jays in 2021, and college stud Bo Darby blasting five straight homers over. Two games in 2009, even oddballs like two NBA stars pitching in the same inning in 1963 at Fenway. From shutouts to record chases, these moments keep the games heartbeat strong, proving baseball's got endless stories still unfolding.
