Ted Cox spoils ‘Thanks Brooks Robinson Day’

test

On September 18, 1977 — In front of a sell-out crowd of 51,798 at Memorial Stadium on ‘Thanks Brooks (Robinson) Day’, Boston Red Sox designated hitter Ted Cox goes 4-for-4, tying the big league mark shared by Casey Stengel, Willie McCovey, Mack Jones, and Forrest Jacobs for the most hits in a major league debut. He leads the Red Sox past Baltimore 10-4.

The performance is also the start of a historic two-game hitting streak by the rookie DH, who will collect two hits in his first two at-bats in tomorrow’s contest vs the Yankees to become the only player to begin a big league career with six consecutive hits.
