1917 – Behind Jeff Pfeffer and Rube Marquard, the Robins apply a doubleheader whitewash to the Cardinals, winning 12 – 0 and 4 – 0. Brooklyn’s Hy Myers is thrown out three times trying to steal in one game by the Cards, the second player this year to be thrown out three times in a game. Not till Rodney Scott, in 1979, will another National League runner be caught stealing three times.
