That was a great question! Never would've guessed..... and those were the only 2 homers Frank hit that year (he only had 5 in his major league career.)

Thanks for such a fun trivia question, Ted. This sent me down all sorts of incorrect paths - Heinie Wagner once hit two home runs in a game in August; did "magic August day" mean a no-hitter or something like that; was this a minor league game? The extra clues of the not-unknown name and the six inning doubleheader gave me just enough information to eventually find it, after spending a frankly embarrassing (and quite enjoyable) amount of time perusing old box scores. Thanks for the fun!

...and another detail I missed: I thought the date was specifically the date of the thread - August 18 - but 'this' was in reference to the T206 guy, not the date.

Ted- I will more closely follow the details in the future.

It was fun and enlightening, if frustrating.

Thanks

Great question Ted.
I might need your cooperation in explaining to my wife, "what the heck" I was doing up on my phone at 1 o'clock in the morning...lol
