From “Was CB umpiring back then?  ”, to Braves by any other name, to a first time for everything, to even opening new stadiums.......................lots of things happened in Braves land on this date.... 1884 In a National League contest played at the South End Grounds, Umpire Van Cort infuriates the visiting Detroit Wolverines when he calls their batter out when it is blatantly obvious that Mike Hines, the Beaneaters' backstop, clearly did not catch the foul tip. The disputed strike three is stuck in the Boston catcher's mask. 1941 After five undistinguished seasons of being called the Bees, the National League franchise in Boston is once again known as the Braves. New owners had hoped to change the team's image by renaming the franchise. 1962 For a team which has lost 17 of their first 22 games, Craig Anderson, who will not win another major league game, dropping his next 19 decisions that includes 16 this season, gets the victory in both ends of a twin bill when the Mets beat the Braves at the Polo Grounds, 3-2 and 8-7. The victories account for their first doubleheader sweep in franchise history, and marks the first time a major league team has accomplished the feat with two walk-off homers, thanks to the ninth-inning heroics of Hobie Landrith and Gil Hodges. 1966 The first game ever played at Busch Memorial Stadium is an extra inning affair. Lou Brock singles in the winning run in the 12th inning, giving the Cardinals a 4-3 victory over the Braves. |

I was there! My dad has some really grainy old time video he took that day with those big goofy cameras they used back then. I had the misfortune of living near St. Louis for about 6 years when I was a kid, but we did go to a LOT of baseball games there at least. |
