I’m not a fan of baseball, but I remember one time I happened to be watching a game. A batter came up and the on-screen graphic said he had faced this pitcher 3 times in his career and hit HRs each time. Right after that, the first pitch came and he hit another HR. It was just so crazy to me that the batter just had this pitcher’s number.
