Did you know that Bob Watson was credited with scoring the 1,000,000th run in Major League history on May 4, 1975, at 12:32 in the afternoon? Watson scored from second base on a three-run homer by teammate Milt May at San Francisco's Candlestick Park. It was known that the 999,999th run had already scored, with sponsored updates being provided by and to every ballpark. Despite the lack of in-game urgency, Watson ran at full speed, reaching home plate approximately four seconds before Dave Concepcion, who had just homered in Cincinnati and was also racing around the basepaths. "I never ran so fast in my entire life," said Concepcion. But it was Bob "The Bull" Watson who won $10,000 and one million Tootsie Rolls provided by the event's sponsor.

On June 24, 1977, Bob Watson hit for the cycle as a member of the Houston Astros. On September 15, 1979, he hit for the cycle a second time, this time as a member of the Boston Red Sox. Watson at that time became the first player in Major League history to hit for the cycle in both the American and National League.
