You would've have to have seen -- and recall in detail -- every game in baseball history to make that call.

Yes, Ohtani did somethng last night that had never been done. That alone doesn't necessarily make it "the greatest game in baseball history." Off the top of my head, i can think of rwo other games that warrant that distinction.

Anyway, I've always been far more about the accomplishments of the ball club over the individual player -- except for Sandy Koufax when I was 10.
