This pass entitled the user to possibly witness historic games such as -
Cliff
Melton becomes first rookie pitcher to strike out at least 10 batters
in his MLB debut (he struck out 13), Fans watching the Dodgers at Ebbets
Field and the Giants at the Polo Grounds are treated to the sight of
the Hindenburg as the zeppelin flew over both stadiums. Hours later, the
Zeppelin explodes on a landing strip in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing
all 36 people on board, In the Cincinnati Reds' 21-10 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies, Reds catcher Ernie Lombardi ties the modern Major
League record with six hits in six consecutive times at bat. Pitcher
Peaches Davis gives up ten hits, but pitches a complete game for the
Reds, Gus Suhr of the Pittsburgh Pirates establishes a National League
Record when he plays in his 822nd game. The streak ends the next day
when he removes himself from the line-up to attend the funeral of his
mother, Augie Galan becomes the first player in the history of the
National League to hit a home run from each side of the plate in the
same game. The homers come at the expense of opposing pitchers Freddie
Fitsimmons and Ralph Birkofer of the Brooklyn Dodgers as the Chicago
Cubs win 11-2, St. Louis Cardinals catcher Mickey Owen pulls off an
unassisted double play in the 5-2 victory over the Boston Bees at
Sportsman's Park. Dodgers pitcher Fred Frankhouse pitches seven innings
of no-hit ball versus Cincinnati. However, the game is called on account
of rain. While recognized as a no-hitter at the time, it becomes one of
many no hitters struck from the record books in 1991 when MLB redefines
a no-hitter as being a game in which a pitcher goes nine or more
innings without giving up a hit.
Rookie Debuts by future stars:
Harry Craft, Vince DiMaggio, Ken Heintzelman, Kirby Higbe, Mickey Owen,
Goody Rosen, Jim Turner, and Johnny Vander Meer
