June 19th, 2022 was highlighted by Pirates rookie Jack Suwinski capping off his 3-HR game with a walk-off bomb against San Fran. Mike Trout became the only player ever with four GW-HR’s in that many games as he lifted LAA to a sweep of Seattle, Jerar Encarnacion and Buddy Kennedy both hit grand slams for their first career home runs, while Trevor Larnach made an unreal full-extension diving catch vs. Arizona. Father’s Day Sunday also led to many memorable highlights and records relating to some all-time Father-Son duos in sports.  

See what happened in sports on June 19th last year, headlined by an all-time great Game 7 where KD‘s 49 points weren’t enough as Giannis (40 PTS, 13 REB, 5 AST) led Milwaukee to the conference finals, Durant’s buzzer beater which appeared to be a GW-3PM being ruled a two and the Bucks coming out on top in OT with KD going 0-6 FG as well as what happened in sports on June 19th, 2020 ft. MLB refusing to schedule a season over 60 games and the four-year anniversary of Cleveland’s legendary championship against 73-win GS. 

WHAT HAPPENED IN SPORTS OVERVIEW: This daily sports post includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts & records from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, notable birthdays, and a quick recap of significant events on this day in sports history.
