Fernando tatis 2 grand slams in one inning is the safest record and then you add in the fact that they were both off the same pitcher

Northern Kentucky’s Liam McFadden-Ackman Hits Two Grand Slams in Same Inning

https://www.si.com/college/2023/02/27/northern-kentucky-liam-mcfadden-ackman-two-grand-slams-one-inning

Fernando Tatis Sr. is the owner of one of the rarest feats in baseball history, being the only player to ever hit two grand slams in one inning of a major league game. On Sunday, one college player successfully joined Tatis in pulling that feat off, etching his name in history.

Liam McFadden-Ackman, a junior for Northern Kentucky, hit two grand slams in the first inning of the Norse’s game against Western Michigan. After Western Michigan scored a run in the top of the first, McFadden-Ackman opened the Norse’s scoring with his first grand slam, then added four more RBIs later in the inning. 

McFadden-Ackman subsequently added a single, double and triple to complete the cycle. He finished the game 5-for-6 with four runs and 10 RBIs.

Northern Kentucky scored 14 runs in the first inning and went on to defeat Western Michigan, 27-4. It capped the Norse’s three-game sweep of the Broncos over the weekend.

This season, McFadden-Ackman has played in seven games and already has hit four home runs—after totaling five homers in 51 games last year. The designated hitter only started one game this weekend, the series finale, and he made the most of his chance.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35772057/detroit-mercy-antoine-davis-3-shy-pete-maravich-record

With only a handful of seconds on the game clock standing between him and immortality, Detroit Mercy star Antoine Davis launched a 3-pointer.

But Davis, who had been cold all game, missed as time expired, and Pete Maravich's NCAA Division I career scoring mark of 3,667 points was preserved in Youngstown State's 71-66 win over Detroit Mercy in a Horizon League tournament quarterfinal matchup Thursday.

Davis, the fifth-year star who entered Thursday's game needing 26 points to surpass Maravich, finished with 22 in the loss. Afterward, he said he feels good about his career and his choice to return to Detroit Mercy, where his father, Mike Davis, is the head coach.

Davis had hoped to not only break Maravich's record this season but also lead his team to its first NCAA tournament appearance in more than a decade.

"Just special," Davis said about his career at Detroit Mercy. "I had the opportunity to play for my dad. I was a couple of points short of the record. God knows what he's doing."

But is Davis' college career over?

After the loss, both Davis and his father said they would welcome an invitation to the College Basketball InvitationaI or another postseason tournament, which would potentially allow Davis to continue his pursuit of Maravich's record. The Titans finished 14-19 overall and 9-11 in Horizon League play, so there are no guarantees they would secure an invite.

But the CBI selects teams from the pool of schools that don't get picked for the NCAA tournament or the NIT. A program with a sub-.500 record is still eligible to be selected, but all CBI entrants must pay a $27,500 fee.

"The NCAA tournament is the goal," Antoine Davis said after the loss Thursday. "I wouldn't have a problem with [the CBI]. I'm sure none of my teammates would have a problem with it."

On Friday, Rick Giles, president of the Gazelle Group that operates the CBI, told ESPN that his organization was "evaluating" Detroit as a potential participant.

Mike Davis said if a postseason tournament gives Detroit Mercy the opportunity to play another game, he would consult his team about it.

"If they want to play, we'll play," the elder Davis said. "If they don't want to play and it's time to move on, we won't play."

Antoine Davis said he didn't feel any pressure entering Thursday's game. Even when the final shot left his hands, he said he was thinking about moving forward in the league tournament.

"I saw that I was really close and I had a chance [to tie the record], but I was more worried about us winning the game than anything," he told ESPN.

Davis had faced scrutiny for the way he pursued the record. He played in 144 games and five seasons compared with three seasons and 83 games for Maravich, who didn't play with a 3-point line. But Davis also said he respects Maravich's mark.

Youngstown State seemed determined to prevent Davis from making history at its expense. He got trapped on most of his team's possessions, as Youngstown State tried to force him into tough looks. Davis finished 7-for-26 from the field, including 4-for-16 from the 3-point line. He said he expected that pressure on Thursday.

"Nobody in the country can guard me one-on-one and that's been proven," Davis told ESPN after the game. "I can't be mad about it. If I had someone like me on their team, I'd have done the same thing. That's the game plan at the end of the day."

Now, Davis will possibly end his career just shy of Maravich's record.

Mike Davis said both Maravich and his son achieved something special in college basketball.

"People would have put an asterisk by his name if he would've broken [the record]," Mike Davis said after the game. "Pistol Pete was in a world of his own and there will never be another Pistol Pete in college basketball. I think there will never be another Antoine the way he scored in 144 consecutive games."

If he doesn't get another opportunity to play, Antoine Davis said he would be proud of the way he and his team competed throughout his career. Even though he didn't match or pass Maravich's record, he said he is happy with what he has accomplished.

Said Davis: "I'm thankful to even be in the same boat as Pistol Pete."

Plenty of receivers started their career on that pace. Longevity is the issue. 

JJ has averaged around 1,600 yards per season. To catch Jerry he’d have to maintain that pace for 11+ more years until he’s 34/35.

More likely he’ll miss some time with injuries or just start to tail off as he approaches his age 30 season. 

Rice had eight 1,000+ yard seasons after age 30. 1,848 yards and 15 TDs at age 33.  

He had a 1,200 yard season at 40 years old.

Injuries are a risk though, however thankfully JJ is not that a large receiver at 6'1". The giant receivers like Calvin Johnson, julio jones, etc tend to be more hurt in their late 20's/early 30's.

He’s a great talent. Just saying, a lot of receivers have had great stretches but nobody has maintained that level of productivity for long enough to catch Jerry. Even other HOFers aren’t close. 

We should revisit the talk in 2030 to see how it’s going.

Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis feels 'cheated' out of missing chance to break NCAA scoring record

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/detroit-mercys-antoine-davis-feels-cheated-out-of-missing-chance-to-break-ncaa-scoring-record/

Antoine Davis' collegiate career is officially over, and he came oh so close to breaking one of the most impressive records in any sport. Davis leaves college basketball just four points away from breaking Pete Maravich's NCAA scoring record.

His team, Detroit Mercy, didn't receive an invitation to any postseason tournaments following the school's elimination from the Horizon League tournament earlier in March. Davis was holding out hope that his team would receive an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational, a 16-team postseason tournament, but they did not.

Davis wasn't happy about not getting one last crack at breaking Maravich's record.

"I'm upset about it," Davis told The Associated Press. "I feel like I got cheated out of something that they can't ever give back to me. I think it's selfish -- and weird -- that people emailed or called the CBI to say we shouldn't be in the tournament because they didn't want me to break the record.

"But there's nothing to hold my head down about. I still feel like I'm the best scorer in my generation, especially finishing No. 2 behind him."

The CBI did have talks about inviting Detroit Mercy to participate in its tournament, but ultimately decided against it, according to the AP. The Titans finished the 2022-23 season with a 14-19 record.

Jaeson Maravich, Pete Maravich's son, on the other hand, stated that he wasn't thrilled that his father's record might have the opportunity to be broken in a lower-tier postseason tournament -- a shot at the CBI.

"I think it's a terrible look," Jaeson Maravich told the AP. "Your season should be over if you're 14-19. This situation is very personal and sensitive to me. But to be clear, I'm not mad at Antoine Davis and I have nothing bad to say about Antoine Davis. My beef is with these tournaments."

There are some noteworthy differences between Pete Maravich's college career and Davis'.

Pete Maravich scored 3,667 points in three seasons at LSU. Davis scored 3,664 points in five years at Detroit Mercy. That fifth year of eligibility was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite not breaking Pete Maravich's mark, he set other records: 144 consecutive games scoring in double figures and 588 career three-point shots. In addition, he led the country with 28.2 points-per-game and 159 threes this past season.

I am waiting for the "racist" comments to start flowing...

Still, LOL at feeling cheated...  If it wasn't for COVID-19, he wouldn't have even sniffed the record because he would have missed out on 930 points...

As a kid I remember Steve Largent finishing a season with 95 and the speculation was WHEN he would break Hutson's record of 99 receiving touchdowns record. Then it took him 24 more games to get the 5 he needed(200 games total/14 years)--finished with 100 on the nose..  Rice had 103 after 8 seasons and only 124 games...seriously, those first 10 years are Video Game Numbers

Only one active player in the top 50 all time, Devante Adams with 87. I don't think either number gets sniffed without some drastic changes. 

Individually, the trend actually seems to be heading the opposite way even with the higher scoring. Here's the list, it's stunning really, I thought there would be a handful of active players in the top 50. Kelce, Henry, Hopkins, etc.

More passing but Os spreading the ball around more specially to TEa. Looking at the alltime TE receiving leaders, most seem to have played the majority of their careers after Rice’s retirement.
