At Fenway Parkâ Bosox catcher Sammy White clouts a 9th-inning grand slam with one out to defeat the Brownsâ Satchel Paigeâ 11 â 9. Paige (5-2) takes a 9 â 5 lead into the 9th. White completes his home run trot by rounding third base and crawling from half way home and kissing the plate. Another rookie provides entertainment to start the inning as Jimmy Piersallâ leading offâ announces to Paige that he is going to bunt. He does just that and beats Paige to first baseâ whereupon he starts mirroring Satchelâs moves and yelling âoinkâ oinkâ oink.â Hoot Evers beats out an infield hit and Piersall continues his antics at second. A now distracted and annoyed Paige walks George Kellâ and one out laterâ forces in a run by walking Billy Goodman. A single by Ted Lepcio sets up Whiteâs slam. After the gameâ Browns C Clint Courtney opinesâ âI believe that man is plumb crazy. Yeahâ heâs nuts altogether. I never saw a man do those things. Anywhere.â
