VINTAGE BASEBALL MEMORABILIA
On July 13, 1984 At Minnesota, Detroit tops the Twins, 5 – 3, when Lou Whitaker hits a sinking line drive with two outs that skips past Darrell Brown for a two-run inside-the-park homer scoring tom Brookens ahead of him to win it. Detroit sends it to extra innings when RF Kirk Gibson throws out Tim Teufel at home with two out in the 9th. Willie Hernandez (5-0) is the winner.
Earlier in the game Twins, Rookie Kirby Puckett was thrown out trying to stretch a triple into his own inside the park round-tripper (image) in the 5th inning.
