On August 19, 1969, Cubs lefty Ken Holtzman no-hit the Braves 3-0 at Wrigley Field, walking one batter and striking out zero, still one of only three no-hitters in MLB history with no strikeouts at all.
At the age of 35 in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta
July 21, 1973. Hank Aaron takes Phillies pitcher Ken Brett deep in the 3rd inning for career home run number 700, becoming only the second player in MLB history to reach that number, after Babe Ruth. The Braves still lost the game 8-4, which nobody remembers.
53 years ago today.
Brewers have pulled away in the NL Central, up 59-54 on the Cubs with a 5-game cushion. The real tie is for 3rd: Pirates and Cardinals are both sitting at 50 wins, but St. Louis has done it in 3 fewer games (94 GP vs. 97). Their winning percentage (.532) is comfortably better than Pittsburgh's (.516), so the Cardinals are quietly the better team of the two right now.
Made this to see the actual shape of the NL East race, not just the final table. Braves are up 55-54 on the Phillies right now, and they've done it in one fewer game (96 GP vs. 97)
