Sports history is made every day of the year. We will preserve at least a small sampling from some great athletes every day based on the uniform number they wore.
20 - 21 - 1
April 28, 1901 - Cleveland Blue's pitcher Bock Baker had a really bad day on the mound. The left hander gave up a record 23 singles to the Chicago White Sox hitters at old Southside Park, near Chicago. It is not hard to believe with that horrid 5.63 ERA for the day that the Sox beat the Blues 13-1, but it is hard to imagine that Bock pitched all 8 innings without relief in the road loss. C'mon Skip bring in a fresh arm!
April 28, 1956 - Cincinnati Reds Rookie outfielder Frank Robinson, Number 20 belted his first of what would be 586 Home Runs as the Reds doubled up the Chicago Cubs 8-4.
April 28, 1961 - At the ripe old age of 41, future Hall of Fame Pitcher Warren Spahn, Number 21 threw his second career no hitter as he and the Milwaukee Braves beat the San Francisco Giants, 1-0. Remember this is a Giants line-up that included Willie McCovey, Willie Mays and other great hitters.
