1929
In the 8th inning of a 5-5 game at Wrigley Field‚ Cubs 3B Norm McMillan hits a line drive down the LF line with the bases loaded. Reds LF Evar Swanson‚ shaded toward center‚ can't find the ball‚ which he sees bounce off a gutter in foul territory. McMillan circles the bases and 4 runs score. Later‚ Cubs relief P Ken Penner picks up his jacket in the bullpen and discovers the ball in his right sleeve. It is Chicago's 8th grand slam of the year.

Who says that the Cibs don't get the breaks?
