Here is the best from August 10, 2019:
Yordan Alvarez had himself a NIGHT. Not only did he crank 3 HRs and rack up 7 RBI’s but he also surpass legends Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams in the all-time record books. Alvarez himself is quickly asserting himself as a legend in his own right.
Yordan Alvarez, who on Saturday became the first @astros rookie to homer three times in a game, is the first @MLB player to debut in the last 100 seasons and reach 50 RBIs in 45 or fewer games. Previous fastest to 50 career RBIs was Joe DiMaggio (46 games in 1936). #TakeItBack

Yordan Alvarez’s 49 RBI are the most in Major League history through a player’s first 45 games. He beat out Ted Williams’ 47 RBI in his first 45 games in 1939. #Astros

At 22 years and 44 days old today, Yordan Alvarez of the @astros is the youngest MLB player to have 3+ HR and 7+ RBI in a game since RBI became an official stat in 1920.#TakeItBack

Alvarez wasn’t the only rookie with 3 HRs on the night, as Aristides Aquino joined him in a history-making night. His offensive excellence over the 1st 10 games of his career has been eye-opening to say the least.
A lot of similarities in the 3-HR games witnessed tonight https://t.co/yot3YzUj94

Aristides Aquino homered in the second, third, and fourth innings versus the Cubs on Saturday, becoming the first player in @Reds history, as well as the first rookie player on any @MLB team, to hit a home run in three consecutive innings within a single game. #BornToBaseball

The Mets can’t stop winning, or making exciting comebacks. This time, it was Luis Guillorme stepping up in a big way for his 1st career Major League HR. J.D. Davis would hit a sac-fly later in the inning to take the lead for good.
Luis Guillorme’s 1st career HR is a game-tying shot in the 8th against NYM’s division rival that now holds only a 0.5 game lead in the WC race https://t.co/8HmASBg1hj

As if the Chiefs offense wasn’t good enough, it appears Mecole Hardman gives them another lethal weapon that defensive coordinators will try to plan against. Good luck, rest of NFL.

Coming up to the plate in a big situation, the son of 2004 AL MVP Vladimir Guerrero didn’t disappoint. This 2-RBI triple was the game-changer for the Jays.
Vlad Jr. triples. Bichette scores. Biggio scores.

Nathan Peterman’s NFL career has been…off to a tough start to say the least. After Jon Gruden’s remarks earlier this offseason, it looks possible he could make the 53-man roster in Oakland. If his 1st preseason performance in the Silver and Black is any indication, he could take Mike Glennon’s spot as Carr’s primary backup this season.
9/12, 1 TD and a 50-yard run. 😱

Mike Trout’s legacy is nearly unmatched for any player his age, with historic numbers, MVP’s, and other awards to show for it. One thing he didn’t have on his career resume was a HR in Fenway Park. That changed Saturday night, now giving him a four-bagger in every American League ballpark.
