In 1995, Indiana beat Orlando in game four of the ECF as Rik Smits hit the game winner with no time left. The Magic and Pacers scored 11 points in the final 13.3 seconds. In 1976, Joe Niekro hit a homer off his brother Phil in a win for the Houston Astros. In 1982, the Minnesota Twins pulled off a strikeout triple play. In 1974, Texas' Lenny Randle laid down a bunt and then attacked the pitcher covering it as retaliation for a purpose pitch. In 2015, a rain soaked Texas golf course caused a par four to be shortened to a par 3. It also made par for the course 69. It's the only time a PGA event played a course with par less than 70. In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first humans to ever summit Mount Everest.
