On September 13, 1951 — The St Louis Cardinals play a rare doubleheader. The first in the 20th century, with two different teams, defeating the New York Giants, 6 – 4, in the first game in the afternoon when they score six runs against Sal Maglie in the 2nd inning. In the nightcap, against the Boston Braves, the Cardinals managed just one hit – by pitcher Al Brazle – in losing to Warren Spahn, 2 – 0. The Cardinals’ total attendance is 8,865 – 4,160 for the Giants and 4,705 for the Braves. It is the first time since 1883 that a three-team twin bill has been played.
