On the field, Grover Cleveland Alexander gets a three-run homer by Sunny Jim Bottomley to defeat the Giants 6-4 before the capacity crowd.
In this game, played July 10, 1935, Babe Herman of the Reds hit the first home run in a night game in major league history. This was the fourth night game in MLB history, and the first night game for the visiting Brooklyn Dodgers.
Bob Gibson gets his first major league win AND his first two strikeouts in a 1-0 shutout of the Reds at Crosley Field.
Don Denkinger makes the call that ensured he would never again pay for a drink in Kansas City - my ticket for Game 6 of the 1985 Series.
