Babe Ruth on the mound, last game Ruth ever pitched...

Oct.1, 1933 vs. his former team, the Boston Red Sox. Ruth, in a season-ending stunt, pitches for the last time in his career, defeating the Red Sox 6-5 with a complete game win. Ruth would also hit a HR in the game, to help his effort.

Some of the most insane lines you've ever seen on a baseball game too, from what I've heard from old timer paper books

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Juan Marichal beats John Roseboro with his bat
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]August 22, 1965[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dodger catcher John Roseboro was a clutch hitter and classy fielder, but he's remembered most for an incident in 1965, considered by many to be one of baseball's uglier moments. Juan Marichal, the San Francisco Giants pitcher, came up to bat in the third inning of a game at Candlestick Park. Marichal had hit a Dodger player earlier and a peeved Roseboro had been firing Sandy Koufax's pitches back to him just inches from Marichal's ear as he took his turn at bat. [/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Marichal turned around to tell Roseboro to stop and Roseboro stood up and took off his mask. Marichal saw this as a threat and immediately hit the catcher over the head with the bat twice, opening a 2-inch gash in Roseboro's head. With blood gushing down Roseboro's face, the two teams—already heated rivals battling for the NL pennant—brawled for 14 minutes. [/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Marichal was suspended for eight games, and Roseboro later sued him for $110,000 in damages. Yet, the two men somehow became friends in the 1980s.[/font]
