Houston outfielder Howie Goss, whose first major league start — on April 29, 1962 — had come about thanks to the benching of then-teammate Roberto Clemente, has the biggest day by far of his relatively brief big league career vs. St. Louis in a performance eerily prescient of Clemente’s titanic but famously futile effort of May 15, 1967. With his walk, triple and two home runs in 4 at-bats, Goss drives in all but one of Houston’s runs in a game that ultimately evolves — precisely as will Clemente’s — into a 10th-inning, walk-off 8 – 7 defeat.
