What is the best event(s) that has happened in baseball this month?

Question

A-Rod?
Back-to-back-to-back-to-back HRs?
Dice-K?
Or any other big events that have occurred this month in baseball?

Answer 1

It has to be the back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs by the red sox. They are only the second team to hit four in a row off of one pitcher and the fact that they did it to beat the yankees makes it even more special. A-Rod has been hot, but Albert Pujols started last year with 14 in April before his injuries.

Answer 2

Just yesterday Jake Peavy almost tied the record for most consecutive strikeouts(10) with 9 and in the whole game he struckout 16. That was awesome, it was like a video game. Everything he was throwing was untouchable even with a 10 inch thick bat.

But that back-to-back-to-back-to-back HR sequence was Insane also.

What about that No hitter perfect game by Mark Buehrle. Not only was the pitching phenomenal, but the Defensive plays made during that game were incredible too!

Ive been waiting for the day when A-Rod would start the season Like he has this year. It dont matter if Bonds breaks Aarons record or not because Alex Rodriguez is gonna break it again anyway. hes got 478 HR right now, and in 4 or 5 years he will be the 3rd member of the 700 club.

Answer 3

Only two events have taken place that are really surprising and memorable. First would have to be the no-hitter pitched by Mark Buehrle of the White Sox. This was totally unexpected of a pitcher that is in the final year of his contract and could be a free agent after the season. To throw a no-hitter with that kind of pressure on him is amazing and great for him and for baseball.
The second event(s) are all the home runs hit by A-Rod. For a player on the Yankees who is getting some bad ink from the press and being jeered at home by the fans to go out and hit a record amount (14) of homers in the first month of the season is outstanding. He has won several games in his last at-bat and without him, the Yankees would definitely have the worst record in baseball.

Answer 4

Dice K shouldn't even be mentioned. Kind of a let down, but what would you expect after all of the hype. Of course like ESPN you are from the East. There are more teams out there. Buehrle's No No is tops for me (I'm a Sox Fan). Best story is the Back-Back-Back-Back though. It's just way to rare. A-Rod could be the story of the year is he keeps it up. Would be great if he passes Bonds and then tells the Yankees to pound sand.

Answer 5

It has to be Back to back to back to back simply because it has only been done 5 times in MLB history. There have been hundreds of No-hitters in the past, and A-Rod is having a great month for sure but others have had similar months before too.

Answer 6

I'd go with Dice-K's debut...but thats mainly because I got to witness it first hand. Seriously, its probably the four jacks in a row. The no-hitter was nice, but not near as rare. Ultimately it could be A-Rod exploding if he keeps it up and breaks Bonds record, but at this point its too early to tell if it will mean anything.

Answer 7

No question!! The four back to back home runs hit by the Red Sox. What an exciting inning, and I got a chance to watch it all happen. That adds to the its being the best event of the month!!

Chow!!

Answer 8

Jackie Robinson day with A-Rod at a distant second. The Yankees unveiling a plaque to pay tribute to Robinson was a great event as well.

Answer 9

the 4 HRs in a row and buehrles no-no.... among all of the pitchers in the mlb i would have never guessed itd be buehrle to throw the first of 07.
but what A-rod has done is truly unbelievable too, even though i am a met fan.

Answer 10

Its definitely not the Redsox sweeping my Yankees by beating up on there minor league pitching staff !!!!! hahahahaha. I believe thou its early nothing can really top Mark Burchles(whitesox) No-hitter. Dice K reminds of Nomo only time will tell how long he will last.
