I figured this 5th inning occurance was one of those things you only see in HBD, never in real life.

But apparently there was a 1934 game in Boston with back to back to back to back triples.

Gotta me thinking, what are the most random things you've seen in HBD?  Or perhaps things you see in HBD far more often than real life.

Stealing of home plate happens in HBD more often than real life (actually had a guy steal 2nd, 3rd & home to tie a game in the 8th or 9th of a playoff game)

Inside the park homers seeming happens a lot more often in HBD than real life.

The only other random thing I can think of are the 325 ft homers you see most seasons in the home run derby when the shortest fence is 327 feet.

WIFS has explained it, but the biggest oddity I see is "the ball riccochets into the corner for an inside the park homerun". The reason being is the sim determines it is a homer, then the line is window dressing, that is how my 0 speed DH gets three of them a year.

I saw Carl Crawford steal 2nd, 3rd, then home in Tampa against the Red Socks a few years back, for what it's worth.

I'm too new to have much else to add to this, but I've been impressed with how realistic the descriptions have been.

I had a 16 inning game once where the final score was 1-0 (walk off homer, I lost the game) and a total of only 7 guys pitched combined.  I am sure that happened back in the day, but woudn't think it has in the last 70 years.   

57 runs in a AAA game in HBD, just saw it in Doubleday.

I don't see anything unique about this? 

In Clemente, we just had 2 guys in 2 days hit four homers in a game. It was probably the 3rd or 4th time this season, and it happens a few times each year. This just days after Josh Hamilton just became only the 16th person EVER to do it in real life.

This was a AAA game this season.  It wasn't a 0(0) pitchers' game, although some of the guys that came in were depleted.  Either way, you don't see 63 runs and 67 hits too often.

The impressive thing here is that it was a competitive 67 run game.  I was expecting 65-2 or something. Reading through the box score it wasn't really over until the top of the 9th and even then you got the feeling that the home team just ran out of innings.

Only in HBD does a kid from, say, Auburn University, turn down your offer to pursue his dream of playing professional hockey.
