ByThis Day in Baseball June 23, 1963September 17, 2024

A major league fielding record is set by Boston’s 1B Dick Stuart as “Dr. Strange Glove” handles three 1st-inning grounders and tosses to P Bob Heffner for putouts each time. Stuart’s teammates and Fenway Park fans give him a standing ovation. The Yankees beat the Sox, 8 – 0. Heffner is just the second pitcher to have three putouts in an inning: Boston’s Jim Bagby (1940) is the other. Rick Reuschel in 1975 will be the next.
