Batter reaches first after the catcher drops it.

Technically there is no limit to how many strikeouts you can get in an inning.

Also, technically, any pitcher that would lose TWO strikeouts to his catcher patting away at them like a kitten at a ball o' yarn should be entitled to strangle said catcher.

Unless he is throwing a dancing knuckleball.......do they they still throw 'em?

It's also possible to lose a no-hitter.

One of the OOTPD guys mentioned a mysterious mega-achievement worth more than any other. I wonder if its 5 Ks. If so, a WS-clinching celebration is more likely than a strangulation.

I saw that too. My guess was back to back no-hitters? OOTP guy said it had only been done once before.

I'll throw in another hint for it - someone in minor league baseball achieved it a couple years ago. The MLB occurrence happened in 1941. And it's not like it pays out an insane amount more than the next highest achievement.

So it wasn't a perfect game in the World Series, it was DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak?

The longest recent hit streak in the minors was 50 in 2016, if I recall correctly.

It could be a 50 game hit streak though.
