You might remember 2002 as being Robb Nen’s final season or the year a suburb of Los Angeles rallied around a wacky little monkey, but baseball history remembers it as the last time the Giants pitched two shutouts in their first three games and held their opponents to 3 runs in their first 4 games. Today [sniffle] is, in fact, the 16-year anniversary of this amazing (and totally forgotten) feat.
Why is it amazing, you might ask? I can assure you that it has nothing to do with this list
