This Day in Sports History: August 22
The history of sports is both vast and rich, thanks to the existence of so many different ones and the longevity associated with them. With so much history to cull through, Athlon Sports wanted to offer the opportunity to look back and see what memorable things happened or milestones were reached on a specific date.
With that in mind, August 22 is a day in which the first pitcher crossed the 5,000-strikeout threshold and the biggest blowout of the modern MLB era took place.
