Four Times Rarer Than a No-Hitter (Or Hitting for the Cycle)

On Friday the 13th, Cubs reliever Michael Wuertz entered the game in the 5th inning with none out and the bases loaded and struck out the side. This feat has been accomplished only 27 times since 1960. Unfortunately, the Cubs had already given up six runs in that inning and went on to lose the game. A list of the 27 honorees is linked below.

Wuertz wasn't really familiar to me, but his impressive peripherals lead one to believe that a future as a closer should be on the horizon. This should raise his profile among baseball fans considerably.
