August 26, 1989 [P1]: Now it's getting crazy. 🚨Already the only Live-Ball Era pitcher to throw three one-hitters in a year, Dave Stieb's one-hitter against Milwaukee today makes him the only one EVER to throw five over two seasons.📽️ He's thrown *FIVE* one-hitters over 48 starts.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.
