Tony Lazzeri sets an AL record with 11 RBIS
On May 24, 1936, At Shibe Park, New York Yankee second baseman Tony Lazzeri batting eight becomes the first major league player to hit two grand slams in the same game when the Yankees annihilate the A’s, 25-2. Lazzeri adds a third homerun and a triple capping off a new American League record with 11 RBIs in a 25 – 2 rout of the Philadelphia Athletics. Another major league record is tied when Ben Chapman draws 5 walks as the Yanks are handed 16 bases on balls. Lou Gehrig exits early and is replaced by his favorite sub‚ Jack Saltzgaver. Monte Pearson is the winner over George Turbeville in the laugher.
