Sidney Bechet

The first jazz recording was made by white musicians. Jelly Roll Morton made his first recordings in New Orleans. After World War I, jazz was seen by some as a decline of civilization. Duke Ellington toured for the U.S. State Department in the 1950s.

Robinson

Necciai is best remembered for the unique feat of striking out 27 batters in a nine-inning game, which he accomplished in the Class-D Appalachian League on May 13, 1952. He is the only pitcher ever to do so in a nine-inning, professional-league game.

One such rarity is the immaculate inning. You’ve probably heard of it — an immaculate inning is when a pitcher strikes out all three batters in an inning, on three pitches each. The immaculate inning used to be very rare — there were none from 1929-52.

Ted Williams is the last player to post a . 400 batting average in a season, achieving the feat in 1941.

400 hitter doesn’t exist but because 1,000-strikeout pitchers do exist. It’s impossible not to strike out against this decade’s pitchers. And it’s close to impossible to bat . 400 with any significant strikeout total.

Louis Cardinals shortstop Aledmys Diaz accomplished an interesting feat during Monday’s 12-7 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, becoming the first player in baseball’s modern era (since at least 1900) to own a batting average of . 500 or better at least 50 at-bats into his career, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN.com).

500 would mean a player gets a hit basically 50% of the time he bats. A batting average over . 300 is considered good.

John Francis Paciorek (/pəˈtʃɔːrɪk/; born February 11, 1945) is an American former baseball player. Paciorek is rare among Major League Baseball players in having a perfect batting average of 1.000. He is the only player to achieve this distinction with more than two turns at-bat.
