Foxx Sets Nine RBI Mark in rout of Indians
Jimmie Foxx blasted nine runs batted in as the Athletics defeated the Cleveland Indians 11 to 5 in the first game of their western trip. He tripled with two on in the first, hit his 35th homer with the bases loaded in the second, added a fourth inning double, and drove in two more in the sixth. Foxx’s 9 RBI surpassed the previous record of eight set by Topsy Hartzell in 1911, though he fell one short of Jim Bottomley’s major league mark of 12 in 1924. Foxx’s performance lifted his batting average to .362 and spotlighted the A’s trading of Simmons, Dykes, and Haas for $100,000 last fall.
