He had a perfect Golden Sombrero, four strikeouts on 12 pitches.

 

When's the last time that happened? I wouldn't even know where to find that information.

Now that you've issued the challenge, some stat head will have that for you soon.

Oh this is a fangraphs article for sure... A's + edge case events? Dang.

[TobiasFunke]

This is incredible

[Sherlock31]

Well, he can't hit a slider that's for sure............

[Lhalo]

I'm actually impressed. It takes a certain talent to suck that bad.

Hamilton >>> Lawrie

[AngelsFaninGA]

Hamilton is jealous.

AO will remember the game clearly from 1968 that involved at least one player that came from Long Beach State.

I was about to post almost the exact same thing, except for the LB State part.

[Blarg]

Your post would have failed.

Nolan Ryan struck out the side on nine pitches twice in his career. The only other pitchers to do that twice were Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax, and Randy Johnson. Ryan is the only pitcher to do it in both leagues.

He can also remember the Southern California rain stats going back to 1877.

Down to the cologne that said player was wearing, and his favorite Gorgeous George move.

What a night for Brett Lawrie.

[Angel Oracle]

Next pitcher who throws Lawrie a fastball needs to be released.

You're probably thinking of those ones games where he started the 8th or 9th off with a strike, then threw 8 straight balls and got the hook.

[Hollyw00d]

Lawrie is a bum

[ScottT]

"Trending" is too trendy of a term for me. 

[Lou]

Richards did it last year

[nate]

So what are the chances that he is lights out against the Angels and they throw him nothing but fastballs?

That takes a special kind of skill.

I looked up that list and was surprised that it's been done less than 30 times ever in the AL.
