One Hit Wonders
Chumbawumba Tubthumping (I Get Knocked Down), 1997
The Knack My Sharona, 1979
Nena 99 Luftballons, 1984
New York Yankees Robinson Cano, 2006
The Yanks went from 16 runs on 18 hits on Wednesday night, to 1 run on 1 hit Thursday night. Thankfully for Yankees fans, Robinson Cano broke up Daniel Cabrera's no hit bid with one out in the ninth inning. But I guess you need to give Cabrera credit. He went into the game with an ERA over 5, yet tossed a complete game, one-hit, two walk game at the Yankees. He threw 106 pitches, 71 for strikes.
Here is a secret for any opposing managers who might find themselves facing the Yanks in the playoffs: Start your worst pitcher, or better yet, a green rookie who hasn't thrown one MLB pitch yet. The Yanks won't be able to hit him.
Mike Mussina vs. the Blue Jays' Gustavo Chacín (9-3, 4.90) tonight.
