Here’s a VERY weird fact: On this day — May 22 — the records for most intentional walks in a game were set for both the American League and National League.
On May 22, 1962, Roger Maris of the New York Yankees was intentionally walked four times in a 12-inning game — setting the AL record.
On May 22, 1990, Andre Dawson of the Chicago Cubs was intentionally walked five times in a 16- inning game — setting the NL record.
On the same day! 28 years apart!
So here’s my question for you: What’s the weirdest record in sports? Is it intentional walks in a game? Something else?
