Nothing officially happened in Cleveland April 6, 2007. If you check the MLB record books, you'll see that Paul Byrd did not have a no hitter going through nearly five innings, he was not one pitch away from completing the abbreviated game, and Mariners manager Mike Hargrove did not manipulate the umpires into saving his team from a 4-0, 5-inning pounding from the Cleveland Indians.

During the game, fans became heavily intoxicated, culminating in a riot in the ninth inning, during which they hurled a vast array of objects including cups, rocks, bottles, beer, batteries, hot dogs, popcorn, and even stadium seats that they had torn apart. Realizing that order would not be restored, the umpires forfeited the game to Texas.

Among shortstops, Vizquel's .985 fielding percentage is tied for highest all-time.
