Baseball History (October 4)

Complete entry for October 4 at BaseballLibrary.com is HERE.

The highlighted entry today is:

1948
» In a one-game playoff for the AL pennant at Fenway Park, the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3 behind rookie knuckleballer Gene Bearden, who wins his 20th game. Player-manager Lou Boudreau gets 4 hits, including 2 HRs. Red Sox manager Joe McCarthy ignores his rotation pitchers to go with journeyman Denny Galehouse (8-7). With the score 1-1 in the 4th, Ken Keltner hits a 3-run HR over the LF fence.
And so, Denny Galehouse entered the lament of Red Sox fans.
