    Bobby Adams

    Bobby Adams from the Chronology

    Sep 10, 1954 - Attempting to handle Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckleball against the Redlegs‚ C Ray Katt of the Giants sets an ML record with 4 passed balls in the 8th inning. Wilhelm faces just 5 batters in the frame‚ yielding a single and two walks‚ as passed balls allow two runners to score. When Wilhelm winds up with 2 out and Bobby Adams on 3B‚ Adams races home‚ expecting Katt to make his 5th passed ball. Roy McMillan swings and misses‚ and Katt holds on and tags out the red-faced Adams. Cincinnati wins 8-1.

    May 13, 1954 - Bobby Adams of the Redlegs hits a lead-off HR against Phillies P Robin Roberts. Roberts then retires the next 27 batters to win‚ 8-1.

    Apr 19, 1952 - Against the Pirates Mel Queen‚ the first two Reds batters-Grady Hatton and Bobby Adams-belt homers. It's the 5th time in history it's happened. The Reds go on to win‚ 9-3‚ behind Herm Wehmeier.
