“We were part of history. You can’t believe it after it keeps happening — second, third and finally the fourth time. It was amazing. J.D. works as hard as anybody at his swing, perfecting his craft, and he deserves that moment.”
— Torey Lovullo

There have been only eighteen of them in the entire history of major-league baseball. Multiple franchises which have existed for over a century have never seen one.
