Spencer Strider can lead the majors in strikeouts and wins, post the 4th highest K/9 ever for a starter, with a dominant Savant page, finish Top 5 in the Cy Young, and yet not be one of the Top 10 SP in MLB according to this esteemed list.
Now that the Texas Rangers have won the World Series, the Minnesota Vikings are now the oldest active MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL franchise that has never won a championship.

He's also the first in history of those 14 QBs whose team has a losing record to show for it.
Ronald Acuña Jr. recorded his 160th career HR tonight.
He's the first player in MLB history to record 160 HR and 160 stolen bases at the age of 25 or younger.
