Some firsts........and a fairly decent signing....that Spahn guy worked out OK....
1911 In a 26-3 win over the Braves at the Palace of the Fans in Cincinnati, thirteen Reds players cross home plate. It is the highest number of different players from one team to score in a single game in major league history.
1940 The Braves sign South Park High School (Buffalo, NY) standout Warren Spahn, who will make his major league debut in 1942 when he appears in two games as a 20 year-old for Boston before serving three years in the Army during World War II. The Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient will return to the National League in 1946 to win the first game of his career at the age of 25 en route to becoming the all-time winningest southpaw in the history of the game with 363 victories.
1986 In a 12-3 rout of the Braves, Pirates rookie outfielder Barry Bonds hits his first major league home run, off Craig McMurtry. Bobby's son will become the all-time career home run leader, hitting 762 during his 22-year career playing for Pittsburgh and the San Francisco Giants.
2004 At Turner Field, Julio Franco becomes the oldest player in baseball history to hit a grand slam. The 45 year-old Dominican first baseman's first inning bases-loaded home run proves to be the difference as the Braves beat the Phillies, 8-4.
And tidbits from around MLB....
1974 On ten-cent beer night, when an estimated 60,000 cups of brew are sold to a crowd of 25,134, the Indians forfeit the game due to the unruly behavior of their fans. Home plate ump Nestor Chylak stops play with the score tied at five in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Rangers the victory.
1996 Jacksonville Suns' (Tigers - AA) reliever Pamela Davis throws one scoreless inning of relief and gets the win in a minor league exhibition game against the Australian Olympic team, becoming the first woman to pitch for a major league farm club.
2010 The Brevard County Manatees announce they will stop taking 'BP', to protest theoil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused by the company with the same initials. The Florida State League team, farm club of the Brewers, plans to refer to batting practice as hitting rehearsal, to become better known as 'HR'.

Culberson is the only player ever -- ever! -- to hit three walk-off home runs with no home runs in between.
