Got to see Aaron hit a record setter in Arlington Texas #737
I check out the website National Pastime every day, today had another very interesting event on this day in 1930
Bud Clancy, playing first base during the entire nine-inning game, never touches the ball while it is in play. The first sacker’s lack of work doesn’t hurt the White Sox when they beat the Browns at Sportsman’s Park, 2-1.
Does that mean during the game no grounders went his way? Any throw to first for an out, ball is dead when he takes it out of the glove.
I was there to watch McGwire tie Maris’ 61 home runs in a season, but that must have been incredible to see Aaron live!
Hard to believe a first baseman not touching the ball for an entire game.
