On a daily basis, baseball has a knack for giving us something we've never seen before, whether it's Madison Bumgarner becoming the first pitcher to club two home runs on Opening Day or a dropped third strike defying gravity to stick to Yadier Molina's chest protector. On Monday evening, we'll see an event that's been much longer in the making, and at times has seemed even more improbable: a world championship banner raised over Wrigley Field. The Cubs will do so prior to their game against the Dodgers, a first in the ballpark's 103-year history.

With that checked off the list, here are five more things in baseball that we've never seen before but can't wait to witness, ranked roughly in order of near-term likelihood.
