The Biggest Coincidences in Sports 

I am sorry if this video gives you chills lol

Before Ohtani, the Angels last two rookie of the year winners were named Trout and Salmon.

Stan Musial having the same amount of hits at home as away is probably my favorite one

The "I'll walk back to Pittsburgh if we don't win" one is really good.

I'm surprised there was no mention of the eerily similar devastating leg injury of Joe Theismann and Alex Smith. Both injured in the same horrific on the same field on the same day and both by 3 times DPOY (LT and JJ Watt), and both were missing their elite Left Tackle at the time.

Prince and Cecil having the exact same number of home runs in their careers is awesome.

Jeff Bagwell & Frank Thomas were both born on May 27, 1968. They each won mvp in the 1994 seasons and their teams played against each other(2005) in their only World Series appearance.

NBA players Deron Williams, J.J. Barea, and Raymond Felton all share a birth date (June 26, 1984). They also were the teammates for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2015-16 NBA season. They're also all point guards.

Messi and Ronaldo are born in 85 and 87. So too were Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, another awesome rivalry with exceptional talent.

Can’t believe Will Smith hitting a home run off Will Smith wasn’t included! Legit my favorite moment in recent MLB history

Cool coincidence happened during the Orioles recently too. Legendary 3rd baseman Brooks Robinson held the record for most games in which he drove in the only run in a 1-0 victory, doing it 10 times. The night news broke in his passing, Orioles won 1-0.

One Dodgers vs diamondbacks game saw two old HOF starters (Randy Johnson vs Greg Maddux) scratch out and replaced by two young, upstart future HOF starters (Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw)

Hall of Fame outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. (Bats: L, Throws: L) was born on November 21, 1969 in Donora, PA. He might not even be the best player ever born on November 21, nor even the best player from Donora, PA, because... Hall of Fame outfielder Stan Musial (Bats: L, Throws: L) was born on November 21, 1920 in Donora, PA.

Prince was HOF material had he not got injured. As a Red fans, him, Pujols, and Votto all in the NL central was my childhood.

Another one is that in 2020, the Atlanta Braves we’re up 3-1 in the NLCS, and going into the playoffs, whenever that happened, teams were 28-3 when having a series lead of 3-1. You can’t make this stuff up

I don't remember the EXACT statistic, so feel free to look it up, but I've heard that people experience so many different events in their daily lives that 1/1000000 occurrences happen to us every few weeks. So a bit less "freaky", and a bit more "so much shit happens that OF COURSE some of it is going to be weird". It's always really cool to learn about this stuff.

Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961, breaking Babe Ruth's record. 61 years later, Aaron Judge breaks it with 62. All 3 of them were Yankees.

Frank Reich once held the distinction for leading the largest comebacks in NFL(35-3) & NCAA history(31-0). Matt Ryan holds the distinction for blowing the largest Superbowl lead(28-3) & coughing up the greatest NFL comeback ever(33-0). Frank Reich was the former coach(replaced by Jeff Saturday) of the Colts that season led by Matt Ryan.

The 2004 Red Sox played in the franchise's first World Series in 18 years, having last played in 1986. When they won the World Series that year, it was the first time for the franchise in 86 years, having last won in 1918. There was a lunar eclipse the night they won as well.

I got one. Jon Lester matching up with Jon Leicester in a pitching matchup in an Orioles/Red Sox game.

In the final game of Daniel (#22) and Henrik (#33) Sedin's careers, shots on goal were 33-22. Daniel scored his 22nd goal of the season 33 seconds into the second period. He then scored the winning goal at 2:33 of overtime.

Not as impressive, but Don Larsen threw out the ceremonial first pitch on the first Yogi Berra Day to Yogi. David Cone, that day's starting pitcher, then went on to throw a perfect game himself. Larson was planning on leaving the game early, but decided to stay.

Can't wait to consume the knowledge of this video

Read something crazy about the fielders also, gonna paste the stat from wiki They also each hit 97 2-out HR - 49 4th-inning HR - 29 5th-inning HR - 18 9th-inning HR Thats wild

How about both Brett Favre and Aaron both going to the Jets, and getting injured? Might have to come back to that one if the Jets miss the playoffs. I just hope Rodgers doesnt come play for the Vikings after that... But it is also a contract season for Kirk Cousins... Oh no. It's happening again isn't it?

Shout out old tiger stadium! One of the cathedrals of baseball. My favorite ballpark of all time.

As a Vikings fan I have never been happier for the intro

I like how you say there’s no evidence the hitter heard the convo as if he could knowingly hit a hr on a given pitch

I like the fact that Atletico Madrid and France striker Antoine Griezmann has three children - all born on April 8th in different years.

That last story is legit amazing

That one time Maddux v Randy Johnson got scratched from the lineup and instead fans got scherzer v kershaw ha

David Cone threw his perfect game on Yogi Berra Day with Don Larsen throwing out the first pitch. Yogi, of course, wore number 8, and it took Cone 88 pitches to get through the 27 batters.

I went to a blue jays vs rangers game during their last series with my cousin and he said vlad would hit a bomb on a 2-1 count, while he was still on deck. He did it but the count was 1-1 lol

josh gibson hit a homerun on to a moving train. so, that homer traveled hundreds of miles before coming to a stop. in 1996 and 97 vinny castilla hit .304 with 40hr and 113 rbi each year. griffey sr. and jr. hit back to back home runs. hank aaron, in some respects the most cumulatively successful ballplayer of them all (most rbis, most total bases etc) is alphabetically first of more than 25,000 major league players in history. former catcher darrell porter was born on jan.17th 1952. i was born on his 15th birthday in 1967. we both hit left, threw right, wore glasses, suffered addiction, and had our best years in 1979. i was a little-league mvp, and he had 112 rbis,101 runs scored, and a .421 obp.

Considering all the numbers in sports, it's not surprising that there are multiple coincidences.

The last story was super cool!

“We are all going to put ourselves in 1969 headspace”. Me: Grabs acid tab

Favorite Cecil homerun wasn't the centerfield second deck homers at Tiger Stadium or the one he hit completely out of Milwaukee County. It was the one he hit at Yankee Stadium the day Steinbrenner was kicked out of baseball for the second time. After the news broke in the stadium and the crowd gave a standing ovation of approval (we were tired of George at that point) Cecil hits a porch job. It summed up how far George had fallen and the team needed better leadership and at the end the dynasty was born that day. Then Cecil winds up a yankee in the middle of the 96 season.

That Falcons part was rough but I liked everything else

lol the fucking transition into the underdog ad was solid man

The Bills vs Jets Monday night game was on the 11th.

Why was that the way you approached the moon landing thing? Does the narrator not believe it himself? Lmao

This was exceptional my good man what a fun ride

Yes definitely do a follow up this was cool

Jimmy Butler had an 82 game season😂😂😂…

One that I found is that Marc Crawford had ended two players' careers through career ending injuries. He ended Norman Leveille's career as a player for the Vancouver Canucks and ended Steve Moore's career as a coach for the Vancouver Canucks.

I love the fnaf ambiance in the background lol

Wonder how many parts you could do of this Also, never actually knew what time of the day they were on the moon. Just assumed at night😂😂😂

Jimmy butler is one of the best examples of the doppelganger effect I've ever seen

It's wild that Gaylord is a real name lol.

Cecil Fielder made me win a pool because of his constant RBIs especially

One of my go to sports coincidences is how on November 18th 1985, Washington QB Joe Theismann suffered a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula in his right leg. 33 years later to the exact date, Nov 18 2018 Washington QB Alex Smith suffered a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula in his right leg.

Yes another srs video

@StarkRavingSports do a video on Eric Davis he had one of the only 30-50 seasons and the only player besides Rickey Henderson to have a 20-80 season. He could have been the best 5 tool player every but he couldn’t stay healthy I thought of this bc Bobby Witt jr is 1 homer and 2 steals away from a 30-50 season Edit: now he’s 1 steal away

Thank you for calling these coincidences and not ironies. But speaking of which: In his book "Brain Droppings," the late George Carlin explained the difference between coincidence and irony, and stated that if a certain baseball player achieved identical statistics to his father, that would be coincidence and not irony. And guess which father and son he chose? Bobby and Barry Bonds. But wouldn't it have been wild if it were the Fielders? (Irony: far better at hitting than fielding.)

See now this all makes me think i need to do something? When in reality im suppose to lay in bed because thats what everyone wants

Terry Francona (then a coach on the Tigers' staff) pitching to Prince Fielder.

Not sports related but since the moon landing was mentioned in the last segment... Neil Armstrong, Neil A. backwards is Alien. I always thought that was interesting.

The Curse of Joe Namath continues for the Jets. Many believe that Namath sold his soul for Superbowl 3. The Jets haven't won one since. The team has been cursed especially the QB position.

Here's a NASCAR one.... Richard Petty ended his NASCAR career at Atlanta in 1992. Petty is a 7-time champion, and 200 NASCAR wins. That very race was also the first NASCAR Cup for a young, and up-and-coming driver named Jeff Gordon. Gordon is a 4-time NASCAR champion, and ended with 93 wins. Among Petty & Gordon, that's 11 NASCAR championships, and 293 NASCAR wins.

Dudes roxk was by far the best way to close out the episode

Underdog fantasy segue was great. Subd because of it

Jeff Gordon’s first race in nascar was also Richard Petty’s last race.

Prince Fielder did hit a ball out of the park in Detroit at age 12 but it was NOT at upper deck level, it was over the fence and that was it.

A jack in the box advertisment at a ball game? That must have been from when they had a good owner, or shortly after the sell off? This new person killed the image trying to be jack, ran it into the ground and closed all but one location in my area when there used to be one on 'every corner' like walgreens? When they goin belly up?

Try the face split with Michael and Ant Edwards and you get a much closer match just sayin

Fun video! Nice Umbrella Academy reference!

The finale was horrible. Man has never landed on the moon. This is a 100% fact.

stylin in that old bape 👀

Tiger Woods and Lebron James have the same birthday.

Chip Carey once said inca braves game as soon as he hits into a 6 4 3 double play we can fo home. The next thing out of his mouth was 6 4 3 braves win.

8:00 “Stay With Me” by Pharrell Williams. Nice 👍🏽

Nah dude ive never laughed at an ad read like i did when i heard "you know who sponsors this video?"

Love some Gaylord Perry love!!! You could say I'm over the moon over it! hehe

Cecil was my favorite in RBI Baseball. 😂

Great video

Rodgers' 2023 NFL season was still 25x longer than JamesOn Curry's entire NBA career

Very cool :)

When it comes to the Mike Bowers situation.. call me crazy.. but… I believe sometimes when your so in tune with what your doing you can pull from aether & see what’s going to happen. Bc everything has already happened. And statistically you can always predict something down to the T. Js

That Gaylord Perry one 🌙⚾️

Just saw tonight that Jordan is Butler’s biological father. Check it out.

There have only been three players in MLB history with the first name Aurelio, and all three died in car accidents

Every baseball fan knows about the Bill Buckner/Boston choke. But not as many people know about the Cubs doing the same exact thing. Bill Buckner previously played for the Cubs and was wearing his cubs wrist band that game….

Pete maravich said "i dont want to play 10 years in the nba then die of a heart attack at age 40", he went on to do just that

Sika anoa'i & dusty Rhodes had a wrestling match some years later their kids Roman reigns and Cody Rhodes fought at wrestlmania 39

That Gaylord perry one was wild

Me: the moon landing ---- Also me: 🤭🫵🏼 I have one for you… My grandpa was blah blah blah and my whole life I always knew his World Title belt was in the landfill or some old lady in Metairie’s closet. So last year I saw on eBay the Awarded Belt of the man that beat him on sale from the British Museum. It said on belt who and how Jose Torres won. For the small $300. I bought it.. and unintentionally 3 months after ordering it, it shows up on the exact 67th anniversary of the day my grandpa lost it. If you watch Mike Tyson explain the Willie bag, that’s my grandfather. Willie Pastrano, not Pep.. Light Heavyweight Champion from 63-65, aka Ali’s butterfly.

Look up Jeff Bagwell and Frank Thomas and their paralells

How many non-American viewers do you have in order to call football, "American football" like a high schooler who went on a spring break school trip to London and then came back home with an accent?

Once you said the name Mike Blowers I knew where you were going

Not talking about Kris Davis and Chris Davis homering the same day like 20+ times is crazy

We live in a matrix; coincidences don’t exist If you believe “everything happens for a reason” then logically coincidences can’t exist

The Fielder thing always makes me sad considering how Cecil was a piece of shit. Prince wanted so badly to surpass Cecil so people would stop saying that he only got a shot due to being the son of a ballplayer.

all of life is scipted by the numbers thats all i see

I have the same birthday as the two pitchers

Another big coincidence that just happened: Jrue Holiday was traded from the bucks... the day after he said he wanted to retire as a buck.

You should make a video just about cricket. I know its not an American thing but I'm sure you guys have followers in England, Australia, Canada, NZ, etc.

Can I go ONE DAY without coming across 28-3!

cant bet on cs anymore :(

Cosgrove vibes.
