Oddities Mark Sunday Baseball Doubleheader Day
Baseball historians will mark April 21 1957 as a day of oddities in a doubleheader. A wind blown popup fell for a single, Gene Mauch dashed home, Sam White delivered a game winning single, and Don Newcombe tied a record with three homers. Other quirks included a self retiring fielder, a pitcher’s near perfect outing, and power outages delaying games.
