Baseball game odds
ESPN just published these baseball odds. I thought it was pretty interesting.
There is a 1 in 11 chance that a game will go into extra innings.
There is a 1 in 325 chance that if you attend a game you will see a triple play and there is a 1 in 702 chance you will see a batter hit for the cycle.
There is a 1 in 806 chance you will see a no-hitter and a 1 in 2,610 shot that a batter will get six hits in a nine-inning game.
There is a 1 in 10,287 chance you will be witness to a perfect game.
There is a 1 in 12,492 chance that you will see an unassisted triple play.
There is a 1 in 13,453 chance you will see someone hit four homers in a game.

I've seen an Unassisted Triple Play as well (many,many,many years ago).... have seen at least 2 Walk-off Grand Slams (I cant recall the first one, but do remember the 2nd one, it was Mike Cameron for the M's vs the Twins @ Safeco). I wish I could have been at Boomer's Perfecto as he is still the ONLY Yankee I have rooted for in my lifetime.
Extra inning games, ironically, I have only been to a small # of. But I can say that the longest, in terns of time and innings, for me was last Thursday Mariners vs Cubs... 13 innings and like 4 hours and 9 minutes or close to that.
MAN I LOVE THIS GAME!

I’ve been to many extra inning games
I have seen an unassisted triple play (Troy Tulowitzki 4/29/2007). I couldn’t wait to get home to watch the replays on TV. It happened so fast at the game.
I do not recall seeing a game where a batter hit for the cycle
I do not recall seeing a game where a player hits 4+ homeruns
(I may have seen these in the many minor league games I’ve seen but none come to mind right now.)
I was in attendance for a perfect game (David Wells 5/16/1998). Yankee Stadium was rocking!
Not noted on stats in post, I did see a walk off grand slam (Ryan Spilborghs 8/25/2009)
I think I’m doing pretty well.

I wouldn't think the chance of seeing a no-hitter would so low. I really hope to see one, the closet i got was Scott Olsen's 7.1 innings earlier this years against the Braves.

"There is a 1 in 13,453 chance you will see someone hit four homers in a game. "
It didn't quite take me 13,453 games... but been there, done that on May 2, 2002 in Chicago when Mike Cameron did it. :)
Wonder what the odds are that 2 teammates will go back-to-back 2x in 1 inning? Saw that too :)
Interesting stats... I have always heard it was more rare for 4 homers, as compared to a perfecto, now we know the #'s. Very cool! :)

I saw this too! I was kinda surprised by the triple play one...I figured it was much more rare to see. This gives me hope that over my lifetime I will get to witness a no-no!
Hey Ken...didn't you see someone hit 4 homers in one game?
