The unbeatable records that have been forgotten

Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE).  It is clarified as a public service that Joan of Arc was not a football goalkeeper.-Unbeatable records, but little mentioned. I often read or hear about Cy Young’s 511 wins, and they point out, by the way, that he is the only one in the Hall of Fame with 300 games lost (315). They talk about the 56 consecutive games connecting unstoppable by Joe DiMaggio, the two consecutive no-hitters of Johnny Vander Meer and the no-hit of Don Larsen in the World Series…
But no one, or few cite, that getting 120 bases on intentional balls in a season, like Barry Bonds in 2004, is also an unattainable number. The best hitters usually receive only about 100 gift bases, but added the intentional and unintentional.
Charles (Old Hoss) Radbourn’s 59 victories in one season, that of 1884, have also been forgotten. While 54 years ago Denny McLain was the last winner of 30 games. In addition, it is still a long-standing scandal that Julio Urías won 20 last year, because very few reach such a figure.
And now, a naïve question: Will there be anyone who these days hits more than 12 home runs on the field in a season? That is the mark imposed 121 years ago, in 1901 by Sam Crawford.
The truth is that now we live complete campaigns without a home run inside the park even.
The home run inside the field is the hardest hit to achieve, because it takes a very precise combination. First you have to find three runners on the bases, then hit with power, have good luck and move your legs quickly.
So strange are these home runs, that in 152 years of major league baseball he has only connected with three on bases to leave on the field.
It happened on July 25, 1956, when Puerto Rican Roberto Clemente appeared at bat in the bottom of the ninth inning, at Forbes Field for the Pirates with the visiting Cubs, who won 8-5.
Of course there were three runners on the bases, when Clemente sounded a line-up over the head of centerfielder Solly Drake. The third coach beckoned Roberto not to follow home, but he ignored and arrived in slide, fractions of a second before the relief shot of shortstop Ernie Banks, and amid the scandal for the ovation and cheers of 31,267 fans that filled the park. And there are more forgotten records.  Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you. ATTENTION.- By Google, the file of “Juan Vené en la Pelota”, in “sport brings us back together”.
