C Butch Henline is the first National League player to hit three homers in a game since 1897, as the Phils beat the Cards 10 – 9. Henline’s 3rd home run ties the game in the 9th inning and Cliff Lee then hits the game-winning home run. Lee ends the year with 17 homers – all at Baker Bowl. Only Gavvy Cravath, in 1914, and Mel Ott will have more homers in a season this century coming all at home.
