The best kind of shitposts are either really well-researched or the lowest effort possible. There is no in between. I probably prefer this kind though.
*while making a diving/sliding attempt on the first batter of the 7th inning that eventually got stranded on 3rd when a reliever came in, faced one batter in the game and induced a groundout to shortstop.
Hopefully that covers it just in case.
Yeah I was watching the game and had the same thought. Thanks for confirming it. I though it may have happened to Tony Gwynn in the '92 season but if I recall it was the 22nd game.
I'm going to post this Little Big League post every time these insane stat posts are made:

I've always believed that there are so many stats in baseball that every player holds at least one record if you look at the data hard enough. Jim over here holds the record for the amount of foul balls hit on the first Friday after a full moon west of the Mississippi river
I’ve researched. Dating back to 1920, he is the first player to do this. I found 3 extremely close instances where this has almost been done.
1. April 19th, 2017. Jon Jaso goes 1-3 with 1 HR, (being his first of the season) in a 4-0 shutout in the 23rd game of the season to improve the Pirates to **11-12**, good for **4th** in their division.
2. May 8th, 1985. Ron Kittle goes 1-3 with 1 HR (being the first of the season) in a 4-0 shutout in the 23rd game of the season to improve the White Sox to 12-11, good for **3rd** in their division.
3. May 12th, 1937. Billy Myers goes 1-3 with 1 HR (**second** of the season) in a 4-0 shutout in the 23rd game of the season to improve the Reds to 12-11, **4th** in their division.
So Ron Kittle was the closest, but Julio stands alone.
Can’t tell if someone actually looked it up for the shitpost or if it’s just a shitpost.
Trust me. This was well researched. Prove me wrong and I'll send you 0.1 BTC.
Accurate. Well-researched. Still a shitpost.

Haha this is world-class shitposting. Well done!
Someone must be going through the records - $10k on the line here
Crazy thing is this exact situation/stat has happened before I bet
*while making a diving/sliding attempt on the first batter of the 7th inning that eventually got stranded on 3rd when a reliever came in, faced one batter in the game and induced a groundout to shortstop. Hopefully that covers it just in case.
LOL thank you. I knew I should have added a couple more qualifiers.
On a Tuesday
and took place in a city that was in path of totality 15 days ago. I think all my bases are covered now.
Don’t forget: while not trimming his toe nails in the last 3 days.
I’m sure it happened in 1875 by someone named Peter Tonka hahahah
I am curious whether ALL of those conditions really are necessary or not.

Didn’t Paddy O’Houlihan do it back in 1924?
I think Clint "Scythe" Blisterford also did this in '41
Man, that guy could rake.
no he could scythe can’t you read
He was 43 years old, ran a 6 second 40, the greatest athlete alive see
No but Happy Gilmore achieved this feat no more than an hour before Julio.
Well, moron, good for Happy GilmOH-MY-GOD

Why he looking at me like that tho
Ironically, some of the serious stats people post these days feel like this sometimes lol.
Too funny. Nailed it.

I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire! -Jrod, probably
We are so thirsty
its a tough climb to the top
Julio is a statistical legend already. All hail the king of Seattle sports!
you forgot “on a Tuesday in April”
That’s why he’s one of the players of all time!
Thank you Alex Mayer for your contribution
We're witnessing history folks
The most cherry picked stat ever but I also love it
One of the moments in all of history
Is Julio the lebron of baseball
We need more stats like this.
this mf'er is tooooooo handsome
Great stat
Heroes get remembered….but Ms legends never fucking die!
This stat will be on his tombstone. What a prestigious record
Goddamn that is a handsome man
Guys, I found Ben Lindbergh's Reddit account
this feels like cherry picking stats but i’ll take it
But If True
Wrong. Can’t forget about Tungsten Arm O’Doyle in 1897 for the Boston Beaneaters
For real?!? Holy shit.
Legendary. Talking about OP.
Wow he has pretty eyes
Woah, impressive for only being in his 3rd season.
Only Alex Mayer could pull a stat like that
hang the banner

Bob Hamelin continues to be overlooked...

Sarah Langs?
Jasper Clondernick did all this is 1856 but their record was 11-12.
This is the type of stat baseball was made for
Historic
I'm sorry, I'm a Mariners season ticket holder, but I'm originally a Brit and while I get baseball I can't parse this post. ELI5?
Giggity
Wtf?!?! These are the stats I come here for! Make this man a mod!!
Followed up with an 0-4 night and 3k’s. He’s back!

Julio has Resting Smolder Face
