Strange and Unusual. [Last updated: Jan. 2002; since we no longer publish a newsletter, this list may be updated very infrequently if at all] There is no end to the unbelievable plays that can happen in a game or during a season. As we process scoresheets, we run across many of them. How about a strikeout with the batter being out 767? It actually happened, and you can read about it here. These plays are compiled from newsletter starting with Vol. 3, No. 3. The earlier newsletters also have some incredible plays, and orginally we called them Odd and Cute.
