A disappointed crowd of 45,922 at Milwaukee’s County Stadium sees the Dodgers take two from the Braves, 12 – 4 and 11 – 4. In game one, the Dodgers break a tie with a record eight runs in the 11th. The Braves establish a new National League attendance mark of 1,841,666 on their way to a season total of 2,131,388.

Closing in on the professional home run record of 69, established by Joe Hauser (Minneapolis-1938) and equaled by Bob Crues (Amarillo-1948), Joe Bauman blasts four home runs in the Roswell Rockets’ 15-9 victory over the Wichita Falls/Sweetwater Spudders to bring his total to 68. The 32 year-old slugging first baseman will finish the season with 72 homers, a record which will last until Barry Bonds surpasses the mark with by one round-tripper in 2001. -This entry was inspired by Ron Skrabacz, who was born on this date. His dad was a teammate of Joe’s in 1949 on the Elk City Elks.
