    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, September 29, 2008 Major League
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, September 29, 2008 Major League Baseball: Earlier, I talked about celebrities in Yorklyn, most of whom attended the trapshooting tournament. I mentioned that although several big league ball players were here, I did not think Babe Ruth was ever among them. From local historian Jack Harrison, who grew up in Yorklyn, however, I learned that a very large man participated in a fox hunt that came across the snuff mill farm (about half of which is now part of the Auburn Heights Preserve) about 1930. Close examination proved the figure was the Babe himself, doubtless a guest of New York Yankee pitcher Herb Pennock, a resident of Kennett Square. This story seems to be appropriate since the final game in the “House that Ruth built” (Yankee Stadium) took place last week. For the few of us who follow the Phillies, the past weekend was a thriller, with Saturday’s clincher of the National League East title being a real nail-biter in the 9th inning. It brings to mind a simpler time in professional sports, when baseball reigned supreme. In the 1930s and through the World War II period when I first followed such things, there were 16 major league teams, eight in each league. There was no Inter-league play and no divisions. The Phillies played each of the seven other teams in the National League 22 times, 11 at home and 11 away, for a total of 154 games in the regular season. The Philadelphia Athletics played each of the seven other teams in the American League 22 times, on the same basis.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.

  • A Baseball Writer Looks Back on 20 World Series
    PROJECTILE MOTION Unit 9 Dr. John P. Cise, Professor of Physics, Austin Com. College, 1212 Rio Grande St., Austin Tx. 78701 [email protected] & NYTimes Oct. 27, 2016, by Tyler Kepner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Baseball Writer Looks Back on 20 World Series The Phillies’ Gary Matthews leaping in vain for the first of two home runs by the Orioles’ Eddie Murray in a decisive Game 5 victory in 1983. The first time I went to a World Series game, in 1983, I woke up in a state of panic. I was 8 years old. Whenever I wore my lucky Phillies hat to Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, the home team won. I could not find it anywhere. But we had to get going. This was an afternoon start in the brilliant October sunshine, the last World Series day game ever played in a National League park. I found out later that my younger brother had hid my hat, and I assumed this was why the Baltimore Orioles had won the game. I’d be back the next night, anyway. All these years later, I keep coming back to the World Series — one more as a fan, in 1993, and the rest as a writer.
