Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Pitching Coach Dave Duncan) lets me know what I can and can't do in certain situations, but like I said — I'll stress it every time — I look back there and, seeing the guys behind me, seeing the defense they play, and aggressive they are, it helps out." - Williams, Woody.

Did you know that when Woody Williams took the field during Game 1 of the 2005 Division Series, he became the first starting pitcher in the first-ever playoff game at Petco Park?

Did you know that only eighteen pitchers in Major League Baseball history have earned a win against all thirty Major League teams? Sportswriter AJ Cassavell once wrote, "Beating one Major League team figures to be difficult enough for a starting pitcher. Beating all 30 of them, however, is nothing short of pitching history." We agree and are pleased to present the I've Beaten Every Major League Team "club" that includes these 18 twirlers: Kevin Brown, A.J. Burnett, Bartolo Colon, Dan Haren, Tim Hudson, Randy Johnson, John Lackey, Al Leiter (who started the "club"), Kyle Lohse, Derek Lowe, Jamie Moyer, Terry Mulholland, Vicente Padilla, Max Scherzer, Curt Schilling, Javier Vazquez, Woody Williams and Barry Zito.

Rafael Furcal Unassisted Triple Play | Busch Stadium | 10 August 2003

On August 10, 2003, Atlanta Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal caught a hard hit line drive (out #1), touched second base where Mike Matheny had left (out #2), then tagged Orlando Palmeiro who was trying to return back to first base (out #3) — an incredibly rare unassisted triple play. Why did we mention this here? Because Woody Williams was the batter that day, the first, and through today, only pitcher to hit into an unassisted triple play in baseball history!
