It happened on this day in:
1930: Lefty O'Doul goes 3-for-4 to bring his batting average to .400, joining Chuck Klein who was batting .405. Since 1918, no other team had two hitters at the .400 mark this late in the season. Klein finished the season at .386 and O'Doul at .383.1934: Reggie Grabowski sets a National League record by giving up 11 hits in an inning (the ninth) vs. the Giants. New York's Mel Ott scored 6 runs, and the 11 runs Ott's team plated in the 9th set a major league record for most runs in that frame.
1974: Willie Montanez extends his hitting streak to 24 games in the first game of a double-header with St. Louis, only to see it end in the nightcap as the Phils split the twin bill.
1982: Joel Youngblood of the Expos gets a hit off Steve Carlton at the Vet. Earlier in the day, he was traded from the Mets where he got a hit in a day game at Wrigley Field. He becomes the first player to get hits for two teams in different cities in the same day.
1996: Jim Bunning is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
2006: Chase Utley went hitless -- ending his 35-game hitting streak (the 11th longest in major league history and second longest for a Phillie), but the Phillies beat the Mets 5-3.
