* But it was not until the eighth inning that the crowd of 9,081 roared lustily at the sight it most wanted to see. Joe DiMaggio, shackled thrice by Bob Muncrief, a 25-year-old rookie from the Texas League, drilled a liner to left in his last turn at bat to stretch his personal hitting streak to thirty-six consecutive games.

How ironic is it that the Indians have a 1 game lead in what is now Central Division of the now MLB, 70 years later to the day!

I’ll forward this to the Indian’s brodcasters, and maybe we’ll get a shoutout from them this afternoon when the Indians play the Giants.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
