»April 4, 1998:
The Twins' Mike Morgan hurls the first seven innings of Minnesota's 3–2 loss to KC. In doing so, he ties a modern major league mark, shared by Bob Miller and Ken Brett, by appearing in a game with his 10th team. In the game, Minnesota OF Otis Nixon has his jaw broken while sliding into 2B when he is kicked in the face by Royals SS Felix Martinez.
»June 4, 2000:
At Shea, the Devil Rays defeat the Mets, 15-5. SS Felix Martinez and P Esteban Yan hit their 1st career home runs on consecutive pitches from Bobby Jones in the 2nd inning. Yan's home run is on the 1st pitch he sees in his 1st major league AB. He's the 77th MLer to hit a home run on his 1st at bat, and just the 4th AL pitcher. The last AL pitcher was California's Don Rose, in 1972.
