On October 24, 1985, Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Jackson delivered an immaculate inning during Game 5 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. The left-hander, wearing number 25, struck out three batters on nine consecutive pitches, a rare feat in Fall Classic history.

The performance came as the Royals faced the Cardinals in the 1985 World Series. Jackson's immaculate inning highlighted his dominance on the mound during that pivotal game.
