| 1966 | Rick Reichardt hits two eighth-inning home runs in the Angels' 16-9 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The California rookie will be sidelined later in the season with a kidney ailment, with the 23-year-old outfielder needing to remove the organ. |
| 1974 | After trying to lay down a bunt, Red Sox second baseman Doug Griffin is knocked unconscious by a Nolan Ryan fastball, resulting in him missing two months of the season with a concussion and suffering temporary hearing loss. The beaning, which most likely led to the premature end of the Boston infielder's career, makes the Angel right-hander rethink his role as an intimidator on the mound. |
| 2012 | After drilling three home runs, Ryan Braun strokes a triple in his final at-bat in the Brewers' 8-3 victory over San Diego at Petco Park. The Milwaukee left fielder, whose 15 total bases drive in six runs, is the first player to homer three times and hit a three-bagger in the same game since Fred Lynn accomplished the feat in 1975 with the Red Sox. |
