The Red Sox won the World Series 86 years after 1918 and 18 years after 1986.
The Red Sox and White Sox won the World Series in consecutive years in 1917 and 1918. Then neither team won a World Series for 86 years. Then the Red Sox and White Sox won the World Series in consecutive years in 2004 and 2005.

USC: 34 (2003-2005) - if USC converts a 4th down and 2 in the Rose Bowl, they extend their win streak next year to 41 games before losing to the Beavers.
Too bad that win streak doesn't exist.

Troy is 2-1, with a freak blocked kick in OT from tying USM. But yeah, the other years I have no idea, except that FAU won in 2007 after beating us in the last game to win the SBC.

That is pretty incredible, both the two grandslams in an inning, and the 8 RBIs without hitting two grandslams.
Among MLB players who have hit two grand slams in one game, Fernando Tatis hit both of his in the same inning off the same pitcher (Chan Ho Park), and Tony Cloninger was the only pitcher to do so.
Park and Bill Phillips are the only two pitchers to give up two grand slams in one inning, as mentioned above Park gave up both of his to the same batter (Tatis).

Another unusual feat involves players hitting for the cycle.
Only two players have hit for the cycle both as a member of a team and as an opponent of the team when it took place--Joe Cronin (as a member of the original Washington Senators against the Boston Red Sox, and later as a member of the Boston Red Sox) and Adrian Beltre (as a member of the Seattle Mariners against the Texas Rangers, and later as a member of the Texas Rangers). Beltre is the only one to accomplish both events in the same ballpark (Rangers Ballpark in Arlington).

It's happened more than that....I can recall two off the top of my head (Bill Mueller and Nomar Garciaparra), in addition to the two you just mentioned

You are correct, I will edit my post. I misread Wikipedia.

Dock Ellis throwing a no-hitter while tripping on LSD. Anyone who has taken acid or played baseball or played baseball while on acid knows how incredible this is

It is interesting that a pitcher did it though, I definitely did not know that

Tatis was two in same inning off same pitcher in LA as a Card.

Caroll Hardy-
Was the only person ever to pinch hit for Ted Williams.
Was the only person ever to pinch hit for Carl Yastrzemski.
And he also caught a Touchdown pass from YA Title.

Also only one player has hit a walk-off, inside-the-park, grand slam--the late Roberto Clemente (who also had exactly 3,000 hits in his career, the last on his final at bat).
And Clemente is the only MLB player for whom the five-year waiting period was waived. (When Gehrig was elected, there was no mandatory waiting period. However, he was nominated in a special election as the Baseball Writers Association was uncertain as to how long he would live, so at their 1939 winter meeting they held a special election on which he was the only nominee.)

The Sooners had a span of 82 games where they went 76-4-2. Their 4 losses were by 6 points, 7 points twice, and 1 point.
Uh...what do you think USC's was?
Besides the 34 game win streak...if you want to compare totality of records during 80+ games...
You asked for it!
(USC haters, avert your eyes)
Between 2002 and 2008, Pete Carroll’s team compiled a record of 82-8. This was one better than Miami’s 81-9 mark between 1985 and 1993. Since the inception of the modern era in 1919 (after World War I ended), this was the “second best” 90-game mark. Between 1947 and 1955, Bud Wilkinson’s Oklahoma Sooners were 82-6-2. However, in those days there was no overtime. Two of USC’s losses (Washington State, 2002; California, 2003) had come in overtime, meaning that USC had, in effect, “tied” OU for the best 90-game mark.
Between 2001 and 2008, Carroll never lost in November. Between 2002 and 2008, his teams lost only one game at home.
During that span...USC never lost a game by more than 7 points. And a couple were by 3 points.
So yeah, it's been sniffed.

Also only two players have hit a home run in their first MLB at bat AND their final MLB at bat.
Paul Gillespie had six during his career.
John Miller is the other, the two were the ONLY home runs of his career.

There's a player that hit a homerun in his first at bat and never hit another, and he still made the HOF.
