On September 19, 1956 — For the third time in his career, Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Don Newcombe hits two home runs in one game, in a 17 – 2 laugher.
It is Newk’s 25th win and 8th straight over St. Louis and puts the Dodgers a half game in front of the Braves. Musial and Dark homer for the Cards only scores. Don Demeter hits his first ML homer‚ Sandy Amoros adds an inside-the-park round tripper‚ and 18-year-old Brooklyn native Bob Aspromonte strikes out in his only appearance in the 1905s. But it will him to be the last active Brooklyn Dodger when he finishes his career in 1971.
