However, on September 28, 1938, Brown surrendered the “homer in the gloaming” to Cubs manager Gabby Hartnett. The homer broke a 5-5 time in the bottom of the ninth and moved the Cubs into first place ahead of the Pirates. Brown had 2 outs when he faced Hartnett and the umpires were planning to call the game because of darkness after Hartnett’s at-bat.
Too easy in the age of Google.
Google? Please! I knew it anyway. Long before there was a Google.
PS. I ain’t that old! Just a fan.
I once had a baseball video game andon the rare occasion I did hit a HR, the announcer would Yell, “And there’s a homer in the gloaming!”.
