APRIL
1924
IN THE NEWS:
The Giants open before the NL's biggest Opening
Day crowd, more than 45,000 fans, but lose to Brooklyn
3-2.
The Reds beat the Pirates 6-5 before a
home- record crowd of 35,747.
Walter Johnson shuts out the A's 4-0 on
Opening Day, his 99th shutout. One of the 4 hits off
him is a single by rookie Al Simmons, the first
of the 2,927 he will make.
George Sisler returns after missing a full year
due to impaired vision caused by severe sinusitis.
He is 2-for-4 in the Browns' 7-3 win over the
White Sox.
The Cards' Rogers Hornsby is the only batter
who ever goes 2-for-5 (against Vic Aldridge of the
Cubs) on Opening Day and improves on his BA for the
rest of the year. His .424 will be the highest ML
BA in the 20th century. The Cardinals open the season
with the players wearing small numbers on their sleeves.
The experiment will continue in 1925, then be dropped.
