Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1913 Alfredo Cabrera, born in the Canary Islands, becomes the first person from Spain to appear in the majors. The 32 year-old Cardinals shortstop will go 0-for-2 in the only big league game he will play, a 6-5 loss to the Dodgers at Ebbets Field.
- 1967 Reliever Phil Regan loses his first game in 77 appearances. The ‘Vulture’ gets pinned with his first defeat in over a year when Astros’ third baseman Bob Aspromonte hits a two-run triple in the tenth to beat the Dodgers, 5-3.
- 1970 During a game against the Giants at Dodger Stadium, Alan Fish, sitting with friends from the Poinsettia Playground in the second row seats along the first base line, is struck in the head by a foul ball off the bat of Manny Mota. The 14 year-old boy will die four days later to become the first fatality as a result of a batted ball in major league history.
- 1983 In an 11-4 rout of the Pirates, rookie right fielder Darryl Strawberry hit his first major league home run, a two-run round-tripper off Pittsburgh’s Lee Tunnell at Three Rivers Stadium. The troubled Mets outfielder, the eventual franchise leader with 252 homers, will hit a total of 335 during his turbulent 17-year career with the Mets, Dodgers, Giants, and Yankees.
- 2000 After a fan steals Los Angeles’ catcher Chad Kreuter’s hat and hits him in the back of the head, many Dodgers, including coaches John Shelby and Rick Dempsey, go into the stands and start fighting with the Wrigley Field faithful. When the melee ends, several fans are arrested as the game is delayed nearly ten minutes, and there is litter all over the field.

Good game.
Woo-HOO!!!
Elite futuring continues.
Thanks.
Dodgers win!
A welcome post!
Doesn’t look like the pitch hit him.
Never know what NY is looking at.
Got it right this time.
Crowd agrees with you. Will the umps?
For once, yes.
Yes. Yes they will.
Not even close.
Shake it off Craig.
Kimbrel’s era went from 1.04 to 3 on that HR.
Ruh roh. 5-4 suddenly. Kimbrel
may be rusty after all.
Should have pitched vs the Phillies.
Oh brother.
When you throw that hard it can backfire when a bat connects.
Kimbrel smoked that strike three!
Jumbo Jacked it.
Welcome back Caleb.
I do enjoy hearing Dieter on the organ.
Replacing a legend.
Nancy B is still alive and well, although she lost her husband a few years ago. (I’m her friend on Facebook.)
CT3!
Woot!
CT3!!!!!!
Sounds like elite futuring!
Sî, Señor!
That took me forever to get right.
Pero escribiste “sí” mal.
Wow I changed it already twice! Here: sí!
También hay que poner ¡
Il ne faut pas pousser mémé dans les orties!
Arghhhh!
Muncy buntsy!
Good show Catman!
It was the Rottweiler in him!
Lux catches one!
This made me laugh!
Bumgarner’s pitch count is pretty high. Bullpen is not far away.
Doubt he comes back out.
I just wanna see him take the L.
Few things are more satisfying than seeing a BadGums meltdown.
Would have liked a few more, but so much better than nothing!
Did scare the ump though into calling that strike to Will.
The Dodgers – and the crowd – have come to life!!
Yes sir!
Sí, ¡señor!
We do love our Mookie.
Mookie scorched that ball.
JT and Muncy. Where rallys go to die.
Freeman coulda scored on JT’s flyball. Very weak throw from LF.
Got something going here.
Just the second most loathsome player on the Snakes roster, their closer Melancon has five losses so far this season. That’s quite a pace.
Yeah. DP. But still some bad breaks and bad fielding this inning. I don’t like when the Dodgers beat themselves.
Gavin should have run harder to get there. Tough for JT to do the over the shoulder catch. And now Trea with the error! Geeze!

Good one.
Run harder probably not the issue (speed is one of his best tools), but not clear with the picture provided. He was playing deep and off the line, so a long way to go. As well he might not have gotten a good jump since he is new to the outfield and judging flyballs. By the time we see him in the frame, he may have been slowing down as it became apparent to him that he would not be able to catch it on the fly.
Seriously?!?!?! A pop fly double?
Rockies melting down a little in the 7th.
I thought “oh good”. Then I realized who they were playing – so now I say “not good”.
No. Not good. Like us this inning.
Like I said…
Such a quiet game tonight so far compared to the Phils series
How many times have our hitters just missed the HR?
Get that one out of the infield!
Too many pitches.
Not that many, though you’d always like to see fewer/
As I typed that he got the out!
Gonsolin is not a big innings eater.
Finicky like the cats he keeps.
He needs a Rottweiler.
Lux took his eye off it.
I woulda made that play.
At least this time it didn’t bite us.
Lux is work-in-progress.
Pads not playing tonight, so Dodgers must win to remain in first.
Meatball of a fastball.
Well drat.
Sub-standard futuring.
BadGums hasn’t beaten the Dodgers in five years.
The most loathsome redneck in baseball starts for the Snakes tonight. I wish Puig were here.
He’s in Korea. He’s only hitting about .209 right now, but he can still throw.

I know. I’d just like to see him confront BadGums.
