"On June 5, 1915, Grover Cleveland Alexander lost his no-hitter with a two-out single in the ninth but secured a 3-0 victory against St. Louis."

From 1939 to 1985, only three Boston Red Sox players regularly started in left field in front of the giant wall called the Green Monster: Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, and Jim Rice. Each of these players is a Hall of Famer, highlighting extraordinary talent and contribution to the team.

I overlooked those men because I watched the impact Molina had on the Cardinals for nearly two decades. It was real. And it was spectacular.

"Stanton’s blast traveled an estimated 475 feet and was so impressive that left fielder Scott Van Slyke didn’t turn around to look at it."

The play that caused all the drama was a groundball that Paul Goldschmidt didn't field cleanly, and was initially ruled an error.
