FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
|
| » April 15, 1959:
Don Drysdale scatters eight hits in shutting out the Cardinals, 5–0. The loser is Jackson, who goes six innings before giving way to Bob Gibson, making his ML debut. It's a rude initiation as the first batter he faces, Jim Baxes, homers off him. For the 31-year-old Baxes, it is his first ML homer: he'll hit 17 in just 246 at bats, 16 more than his brother Mike, in this his only season. |
