What word is used to label the world’s biggest one-day cycling races, from Milan-San Remo to Paris-Roubaix to Le Fleche Wallonne, despite the fact that there isn’t a clear definition of the word and it's not mentioned in the UCI’s official rules—all of which led to the term “monument” being adopted to describe the five most prestigious of these one-day races.

An exquisitely pitched three-game series in September 1991 saw Chris Bosio, Dan Plesac and Jaime Navarro trading goose eggs with Jim Abbott, Chuck Finley and <checks notes> Joe Grahe. When the dust settled, the California Angels had swept the Milwaukee Brewers by scores of 2-1, 1-0, and 1-0. Name the Angels’ designated hitter who drove in the walk-off run in the first game, and the lone run in the second. It was 18 years and change since he had won the College World Series Most Outstanding Player award on the strength of a .467 batting average, and a complete game 1-0 shutout that he himself had pitched.
