That's the number of home runs Babe Ruth hit during his historic 1927 season, one of the best offensive seasons in baseball history.
Low curveball, and the Babe swings.
It's a long one, a long one, going out toward right center.
Kling was backing up against the wall.
He can't get it.
It's in there.
Another home run for the Bambino.
Sixty homers was more than any other team in the American League hit that year, and by team, I mean all players combined, more than the Red Sox entire roster.
Fifty-nine, that's the number of scoreless innings pitched in Orel Hershiser's epic scoreless streak, a Los Angeles Dodger record for the ages, still unbroken to this day.
Orel's streak down the stretch in 1988 helped us win the division that year, something nobody thought we could do in a year that was so improbable, as Vin Scully put it.
And who could forget Bulldog notching the last out of the World Series that year with a punch out and getting mobbed by his teammates with Vinny on the call?
[crowd cheering] Got him To the 1969 Mets, it's the impossible dream revisited
