Joe Adcock made history in 1956 by becoming the only player to hit a home run onto the roof at Ebbets Field, a feat that remains unmatched.

Weaver's play on the field, however, spoke a different story. He hit .324 at the plate, and did not make an error during the 8-game series.

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.

On this day in 1984, Roger Clemens recorded his first career win, giving up four runs over seven innings, a standard that differed from today's expectations.

"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."
