Obscure stats.
I just love it during a game when the stat guy feeds things to the announcers. Last night the Giants had a rookie at Short Stop named Casey Schmitt. He was playing in his third big league game, filling in for Brandon Crawford who has a mild calf tightness and should return soon.
Well Schmitt has started off with a bang hitting his first home run and totalling eight hits in his first three games. He was four-for-four last night including his first career double and his second home run. That ties a record stat that has been kept since 1901. He is tied with Willie McCovey. Imagine three games into your career and you are in the record books next to Willie Mac.
Hopefully he has a long and great career with the Giants.

Rereading my post, I admit I wasn't clear on this. And yes, some stats are kind of silly.
It reminds me of a scene in the movie Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck. He's an aging baseball star and they tell him he's been sold to a Japanese team. He doesn't like this, and he says "I was the MVP in the All-Star game!" (OR World Series, can't remember) The coach says "That was three years ago." Selleck counters with "I led the division in triples in August!" 
...are still interesting. I think this is one of them.
Being only one of 2 to accomplish anything in 122 years is inherently interesting. But, it sure isn't predictive of anything.
He's not going to be a career .615 hitter! Pretty sure, anyway. 
Both high-kickers would agree, "That Pitch count thingy is for wussies".
Warren Spahn was 42 years old, and two years later he finished his career with the Giants. Oh, but to be a fly on the wall when Spahn met Mays and Marichal.
