## Resource

In 1970, the New York Knicks beat the LA Lakers to win their first NBA title. In 2016, Washington National Bryce Harper came to the plate 7 times but was not credited with an official at-bat. In 2005, Sergio Garcia gave up a six-shot lead in the final round of the Wachovia Championship and lost in a playoff. In 2001, Randy Johnson struck out 20 in 9 innings … but it is not recognized along with Roger Clemens, Kerry Wood, or Max Scherzer’s 20 strikeout performances by Major League Baseball.
