i've witnessed the 400 score in cricket from a batter-forgot the name
also, achieving the rare 6-sixers in an over in cricket is really hard. Fours is the same.
what else....an inside-home-run bunt is rare.
and thats it for me

Unassisted triple play in baseball has to be the most uncommon great play that doesn't only happen due to freak accidents.

Cricket is one that I wouldn't know anything about... but I'll keep this in mind I guess!
I can't really think of any batting accomplishments in baseball that aren't completely arbitrary aside from a grand slam but that still isn't that rare compared to most other accomplishments of this nature. Triple play is pretty rare in major league baseball I guess.
edit: ahh Pokebunny ninja'd in the triple play before me :p

Yes I should have said that (assuming you mean baseball) but can you explain the difference between a perfect game and a no hitter?

Grand Slams in baseball, tennis and golf (though the latter two are different).
Hat trick in hockey, soccer.
Triple-double in basketball.
Century in cricket.
Perfect games of pool, darts, etc.
Of those, hat tricks in hockey and triple-doubles are probably the most common. Grand slams in tennis and golf are mad hard.

Hitting for the cycle is a batting accomplishment that isn't arbitrary, and is very rare
|
A perfect game is a game in which a pitcher pitches a victory that lasts a minimum of nine innings and in which no opposing player reaches base.
A no-hitter is a baseball game in which one team has no hits. It is possible to reach base without a hit (most commonly via a walk or error)

As in four people scoring on a home run?
, tennis and golf (though the latter two are different).
Meaning winning all of the major tournaments in a given year?
Hat trick in hockey, soccer.
Can you explain what this is?
Triple-double in basketball.
Yeah I thought about mentioning this... it would be at least 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists?
Century in cricket.
Another cricket thing so I have no idea lol
Perfect games of pool, darts, etc.
Ah yeah very good ones.

They are mad hard because you have to play like the best in the world for several tournaments I suppose right? How many grand slams have their been in each sport?

What is this?
Ah is this the major one for running or is there another infamous barrier that has been or might be broken?

Ah thank you for explaining the difference to me.

A perfect hat trick in football where 3 goals are scored by one player in one game using the left foot, the right foot and the head.

How often does this happen? Do players aim for this or does it just coincidentally happen sometimes?

Don't inside the park home runs usually happen when the fielder doesn't field well or am I wrong about that?

I once let this guy play through, it's a par 3 and he plants it decimeters from the hole. I don't think it's that uncommon, especially if you make a career out of sports.

Well yeah even I have landed it to nearly a tap in on a par 3 hehe... but getting it in the hole is a lot harder!
BTW while I was researching the topic of this blog a bit I watched that same video haha.

Triple-double in basketball is very common, Lebron, Kobe, D-Wade have them once in like 5 games, sometimes more.
Century in cricket is pretty common, around 30% of games have them. Double-century isnt
Hat tricks are arguable but most commonly are not seen, around %10?
And a grand slam in baseball, thats just common one in every 3-4 games?

It just coincidentally happens sometimes, I'm sure the players would be more concerned with getting the ball in the back of the net whichever way they can rather than scoring a certain way. :D
It's very rare.

Hat trick (3 goals) happens pretty often in hockey, idk what % of games feature one but I would guess around 5%?
5 goals or more is VERY rare nowadays but there is no name for it afaik
I'm trying to think of other things that happen rarely in hockey uhh if you want to count comebacks then coming back from 0-3 game deficit in hockey/basketball/baseball is extremely rare, Philadelphia Flyers did it a couple weeks ago(Fuck yeah!). It's the 4th time it has happened in NHL/NBA/MLB in history
3 times in the NHL '42 '75' and the series a couple weeks ago and it also happened in MLB in 2004 (Red Sox vs Yankees I'm sure many here remember that.)
