From home runs by a pitcher to some pretty entertaining announcers....and Chip....a couple of items of Braves interest on this date....
1942 Braves' pitcher Jim Tobin, en route to a 6-5 victory over the Cubs, becomes the first modern-day hurler to hit three home runs in one game, equalling the feat of Guy Hecker, who hit three inside-the-park round-trippers playing for Louisville in 1886. 'Ironsides', who pinch-hit a homer in the eighth inning of yesterday's contest, would have hit five consecutive blasts, if his first inning fly ball, which was caught against the right field fence, had gone out.
1991 In the broadcast booth at Wrigley Field, Skip Caray and Chip Caray, the Braves' play-by-play announcers, join Cubs legend Harry Caray, the patriarch of the three generation broadcasting family. The 77 year-old grandfather, known for his warm relationship with the Chicago fans, takes tremendous pride that his son and grandson have chosen to be baseball broadcasters.
And even some historical facts....
1929 For the first time in major league history, a game features both teams wearing numbers on the back of their jerseys when the Indians host the Yankees at League Park in Cleveland. The numerals will become a permanent fixture on each club's attire.
1982 The Cubs become the first major league team to win 8,000 games when Allen Ripley and Lee Smith combine to shut out Houston in Chicago's 5-0 victory at the Astrodome. The milestone comes in the 15,337th contest in the 107 year history of the franchise.
