(Note this is softball, so 21 strikeouts in a perfect game in seven innings.)

Amazing! This as well: Shohei Ohtani hit a 450ft homer and threw a pitch over 100mph in the same inning! https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/MLB/2021/04/05/Angels-Shohei-Ohtani-fastest-homer-pitch-baseball/7191617622051/ https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/MLB/2021/04/05/Angels-Shohei... Aside, it’s so nice to have sports being played again!

  Agreed- especially getting a full 162 game season back for baseball. I enjoyed the short season but I follow baseball for the daily rhythm of it

If we're sharing crazy rare stuff from other sports I present from international cricket: A bowler achieving a hatrick (3 dismissals in consecutive deliveries - very rare) and also getting hit for 6 Sixes in an over later in the same game. [0] 6 Sixes in an over has only been done 3 times in international cricket. It represents the maximum return for a batter from an over (without no-balls or wides).
