FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»May 8, 1992: Astros P Butch Henry gets his 1st major league hit—a 3–run, inside–the–park homer—but its not enough as Houston loses 6–3 to Pittsburgh. It will be Henry's only ML homer.
»September 19, 1997:
The White Sox tie Boston, 4–4 at Fenway on Albert Belle's 9th inning grand slam, off Tom Gordon, then win in the 10th on Frank Thomas' single. The Red Sox had tied the game in the bottom of the 9th on pinch homers by Curtis Pride and Scott Hatteberg. Boston wastes Butch Henry's seven 2/3 shutout innings, while Mike Sirotka's one run in eight innings goes unrewarded. Nomar Garciaparra has a pair of doubles to break Ted Williams' Red Sox rookie record for total bases. His total is 348 on his way to 365. Tony Oliva set the American League rookie record in 1964 with 374.
