Smoky Burgess hits three home runs and drives in nine runs as the Redlegs rout the Pirates, 16 – 5

On July 29, 1955 — At Crosley Field, Smoky Burgess hits three home runs and drives in nine runs as the Redlegs rout the Pirates, 16 – 5. In the 4th inning, Roberto Clemente does his bit to curtail Burgess, leaping into the right center field screen to snare a line drive that has extra bases written all over it. The Cincinnati catcher, in addition to his grand slam and pair of two-run round-trippers, also collects a run-scoring single.
