Episode Details

On this day in baseball history, the Cubs etched their name in the record books with a 16-inning, six-and-a-half-hour marathon win, capped by catcher John Baker pitching and scoring the game-winning run. But that’s not all—Rube Waddell struck out 16 in 1908, Honus Wagner hit a grand slam at 41 in 1915, and Ted Williams tied Babe Ruth for second-most career grand slams in 1958. These legends prove longevity and grit are possible at the highest level. Ichiro Suzuki added to the legacy in 2007 with his 1,500th hit and reached 3,000 total hits by 2008—sustained excellence is rare. And beyond the diamond, in 1958, President Eisenhower signed the NASA founding act, marking a giant leap for space. A day of historic milestones across sports and science.
