On October 24, 1985, Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Jackson achieved a rare feat in Game 5 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Jackson threw an immaculate inning, striking out three batters on nine consecutive pitches.
The immaculate inning remains one of the most memorable moments in World Series history. Jackson's performance helped the Royals secure a victory in that game, though the Cardinals ultimately won the series in seven games.
Jackson, a left-handed starter, finished the 1985 season with a 17-11 record and a 3.12 ERA. His immaculate inning in the Fall Classic stands as a testament to his dominance on baseball's biggest stage.
