Paul Skenes has started 55 MLB games and allowed a total of 70 earned runs. It's completely ridiculous.

On May 30 1980 Ellis Valentine was hit in the face by a Roy Thomas pitch. This resulted in a number of facial injuries. His vision was also affected. When he eventually returned to play he wore a football type helmet. And did so until 1982. Never the same player after that event.

67. The Savage Curtain (1969)
Kirk meets Abraham Lincoln and is forced to fight some of history's greatest villains by a talking rock. The campiness of the episode is off the charts which makes it awesome in its own way.
