rare baseball feats

[cometko]

With Miguel Cabrera winning this year's Triple Crown for the first time in 45 years, it got me thinking about other rare feats in baseball.

How many of the following happened during this past regular season:
Perfect Games
Inside the Park HRs
Triple Plays
Hitting for the cycle in a game
15+ strike-out games
Stealing home

If anyone knows where to find those statistics I would be very interested in knowing what they are.

You can always try baseballreference.com. It's a fantastic site if you're a stat freak like myself. :D

Don't forget the 4 homers in one game by Josh Hamilton :)

He should have saved at least one of those for tonight's game.

Aaron Hill hit 2 cycles this year-he was close to hitting 3 as well

Here you go, Cometko:

I'd imagine many of those would be listed here.

Perfect games: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/pitching/piperf.shtml

Stealing home: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_stbah.shtml (though not an exhaustive list. I'm still looking to see if there is one).

As for games with 15 or more strikeouts, you can find that on baseball-reference.com. It found 231 such games, but in order to see the full list, you have to be a subscriber, and alas, I am not.

Go to play index (upper left hand corner of site), then game: pitching. Leave all to default except choose stat. Select SO, then specify greater than or equal to and 15.
