Until we hear from Eric, don't forget that Miss Ruth Malcomson from Philadelphia won the fourth Miss America pageant on this day 100 years ago.

100 years ago today, Urban Schocker managed to beat the White Sox twice in one day.

In the first game of the double header, Shocker pitched a complete game and gave up 2 runs on 9 hits.

In the second game of the double header, Shocker pitched another complete game and allowed 2 runs on just 5 hits.

The score of both games was 6 to 2.
He struck out but one White Sox player in the 18 innings.

Thanks I stayed up too late after the Chiefs and forgot . With apologies to cgJackson222 And urban schocker , Probably breaking the rules with two things happening on the same day 100 years ago .. anyhoo ..
On September 6, 1924 the Giants and the Phillies split a doubleheader , scoring a combined 45 runs on 70 hits !
On a sidenote the Phillies were also involved in the double hitter record of 73 combined hits with the Cardinals July 6, 1929

If you can figure out what the rules are, don't hesitate to break them. No penalty for being a day or two off either. Sometimes more than one thing happens on one day and some days are slow "news" days.

100 years ago today a ballplayer mimicked Shohei Ohtani in Boston.

He walked twice, had one single, was caught stealing and in the eighth inning hit a two run homerun to lead his team to 2-0 victory preserving a 2 hit shutout for Bush.

His name wasn't Pipp.

On September 8, 1924, Walter Johnson pitched a complete-game, 8 to 4 win over the Philadelphia Athletics to keep the Senators 2 games ahead of the Yankees in the race for the AL pennant. Player-manager Bucky Harris led the attack with 3 RBIs, and WaJo himself, a very-good-hitting pitcher, chipped in with 2 hits, a RBI and 2 runs scored.

Duplicate post - sorry!

September 9, 1924 Rogers Hornsby went 2-4 with a rbi in the 138th game of the season - by this point he had what could be considered a full season with 207 hits and 40 doubles - His batting average at this time was .432 !
From here he would go on to “slump” down to .424
