ROCK & ROLL BASEBALL

  

 Continued...

 The exhibit runs to August 9, 2009 in Morristown and will travel cross country with photos; posters; postcards and objects that tell this amazing story of
America's pastime. The first professional women's baseball game was played in
Springfield, Illinois. And believe it or not: women's baseball has been part of
baseball for almost as long as there has been baseball.
Here's another nugget for this very popular category:
Back in 1950; the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Browns 29-4 at
Fenway Park and set major league records for runs scored; most extra base
hits; 17 ( nine doubles, one triple and seven home runs ). most total bases, 60;
most runs over two games, 49; and most hits over two games, 51.
Now that Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki set the major league
hits record for Japanese players; I think I should mention ' Pearl Jam ' ( the modern
rock band from Seattle ). Their diamond album entitled ' Ten ' was recently
certified by the RIAA for sales of at least 13 million and still going strong.
And every now and then I like to remind you that at least 92% of the
information on this website is a true fact. As for the other 7 or 8% of fiction:
all you have to do is listen to my radio show ( wnjc1360.com ) and you will
know anything you want to know.
