In 1985 Patterson was facing Pete Rose at Wrigley Field. Rose only needed one hit to tie Ty Cobb on the all-time hit list. Needless to say, he got that hit off Patterson.
In 1998 Trachsel was facing Mark McGwire at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. McGwire needed only one home run to pass Roger Maris' single season home run record. Needless to say, he got that home run off Trachsel.
