It happened a little more than two years ago, so it might not have proper historical context, but the win-or-go-home bracket final between LSU and Wake Forest might be the greatest game in college baseball history. It featured seven and eight scoreless innings, respectively, from future top 10 picks; Tre Morgan’s spectacular charge-field-and-throw in the eighth to keep the game scoreless; and a walk-off home run by one of the most famous early transfer portal players. Who was the winning pitcher for LSU, going three scoreless in relief, three days after taking the loss versus the Demon Deacons?

During Spring Training in 1993, Cleveland relievers Steve Olin and Tim Crews became the first active MLB players to die since Thurmon Munson, more than a decade and a half earlier. A third pitcher was fortunate to have survived the boat crash that killed Olin and Crews, much as he had been fortunate, five years earlier, to survive what Wikipedia describes as a "bizarre incident wherein the tip of his left middle finger was severed by an electric hedge trimmer" - although that injury did cause him to miss his team's unfortunately brief appearance in the 1988 playoffs. Name him.
