today's nugget jackie jensen is the only man to play in the rose bowl, east west shrine game, world series, and all-star game. he retired young due to his fear of flying brought about due to baseball's west coast expansion.

today's nugget. record for hitting a homerun in consecutive games is 8 done by dale long, don mattingly and ken griffey jr. mike schmidt once started a season by hitting 12 hrs in 15 games since duplicated by barry bonds. frank howard once hit a homerun in 6 consecutive games totalling 10 hrs in that span.

nugget of the day consecutive innings pitched without allowing a walk is 84 and a third by bill fischer in 1962 but look at his won-lost record not too impressive.
