Redlegs Leave Cincinnati to Face East Without Kluszewski
Cincinnati Redlegs head to their first Eastern road trip without first baseman Ted Kluszewski who remains in hospital for evaluation and hip treatment. General Manager Gabe Paul said the slumping club will wait for doctors clearance as Kluszewski has not played since spring training due to a lingering hip ailment first noted in 1956. The Reds, struggling with weak power, dropped 7 of 11 to start the season and stranded 30 baserunners in three games against Milwaukee.

A misplayed centerfield ball produced a controversial homer that boosted Lazzeri’s totals, yet he later joined Ruth in the major leagues and never surpassed Ruth’s single season mark.
