Perfect Game-July 28,1991

Jimmy Sexton had 16 stolen bases in 18 attempts in 1978.

John Curtis pitched the second game of a doubleheader on May 8, 1977. He pitched 6 1/3 innings, with one walk and two strikeouts. This game was rain shortened, in fact, this game was played entirely in the rain, with the umpires ending the game in the top of the seventh inning. The game was protested by the New York Mets and the protest was upheld, then later withdrawn.

Ron Pruitt was the starting catcher on opening day April 8, 1978, hitting a solo home run in his first at bat of the season leading off the bottom of the second inning breaking a 4-4 tie off of Dennis Leonard. The Indians beat the Royals 8-5.

Dave Cash set the Expo mark for hits in 1977 with 188, two more than Rusty Staub had in 1971.

Bill Campbell's 17 wins in relief during the 1976 season tied the A.L. mark with John Hiller of the Detroit Tigers in 1974. The major league record was set by Roy Face of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1959 with 18 wins.

Jerry Narron hit his first career home run leading off the bottom of the 7th inning to deep right field breaking a 5-5 tie. He was one of five Yankees to hit a home run that game, all coming off of Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley.

Bruce Sutter's first save was against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his 5th career game. On September 8, 1977, against the Montreal Expos, Bruce entered the game in top of the 8th inning and stuck out Warren Cromartie, Andre Dawson and Tony Perez. In the 9th inning, he struck out Ellis Valentine, Gary Carter and Larry Parrish on 9 pitches. The Chicago Cubs won the game in the bottom of the 10th inning and Bruce earned the win. In the 1979 All Star Game, Bruce pitched the final two innings, giving up 2 hits, walked 2 and struck out 3, and was the winning pitcher.

Ron Jackson's most productive day in the 1979 season was on May 31 against the Oakland Athletics. He was 3 for 5 with 2 singles, a home run, 2 runs scored and 4 RBIs in a 13-2 win.
