Description
On May 13th, baseball history was made with thrilling moments and milestones. In 1911, Ty Cobb hit his first grand slam, but the Tigers still lost. The New York Giants scored ten runs before the Cardinals even got an out. Jim Tobin became the only pitcher to hit three home runs in a game in 1942. Mickey Mantle hit home runs from both sides of the plate in 1955. Stan Musial, George Brett, and Ernie Banks achieved significant milestones. In recent years, Todd Stottlemyre and his dad Mel became the first father-son duo with 300 wins each. Zack Greinke joined legends with 1000 different strikeouts. Joey Votto sealed a comeback with a ninth-inning grand slam. Yesterday, women made history as lead announcers for both teams in the Athletics-Astros game.
