FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»June 16, 1914: With the score knotted at 5–5, the Brooklyn Tiptops (FL) unload for seven runs in the 12th off St. Louis Terrier player-manager Three Finger Brown. Art Griggs ends the scoring by purposely missing three pitches from the 37-year-old reliever. Little Johnny Tobin then leads off with a Terrier home run and St. Louis scores eight times to win, 13–12. The 15 runs is an extra-inning record.
»September 8, 1922: Detroit beats the Browns, 8–3, on Bobby Veach's two homers off Urban Shocker. First baseman Lu Blue pulls off two unassisted DPs, tying the AL record, and both are off line drives by Johnny Tobin.
