Roberto Pena from the Chronology
Sep 3, 1970 - The Twins Leo Cardenas hits a Wally Bunker pitch in the 8th inning off the foul pole but the umps rule it a foul ball. Manager Bill Rigney and Bob Allison argue that is should be a homer and get tossed for their efforts. Cardenas then strikes out. Phil Roof and Roberto Pena homer to lead the Brewers to an 8-3 victory.
May 30, 1970 - Detroit's Les Cain walks the first 3 batters gives up a single and then newly acquired Roberto Pena smacks an inside-the-park grand slam to help the Brewers beat Detroit 9-7. Northrup and Kaline collide going after Pena's ball.
Apr 12, 1965 - On opening day in Chicago the Cards hand Bob Gibson a 5-run lead in the 1st inning against Larry Jackson. But the wind is blowing out and the game ends after 11 innings called because of darkness. The standoff is 10-10. For the Cubs Roberto Pena makes 3 errors in 7 chances but is 3-for-6 with HR and double. Ernie Banks hits the only other HR.
