I thought there used to be a catch-all thread of oddities. Here's one:

The pitcher who still holds the NAIA record for games started in a season pitched 674 games in the majors, without a single start. Dan Quisenberry started 25 games in 1975, pitching for LaVerne College, CA.

Here's another one that very few people know about:

The national record for touchdowns on kickoff returns in a single high school football game is four and the record-holder is still Roger Maris of Fargo, N.D.

That must have been a really bizarre matchup. Mariis' team allowed the opponents to score at least three times, but at the same time had a player capable of running back the kickoffs with virtual impunity.
