On June 17, 1993, Giants centerfielder Darren Lewis finished his 243rd career game without an error, setting a new MLB record for error-free games to start an outfielder’s career. The milestone came during a 5–1 Giants win over Cincinnati, where Lewis once again made every routine look automatic. As the final out settled into a glove, a long-running question followed Lewis off the field — and out of his head. Sometimes history is made not by a spectacular catch, but by never missing one.
