Both Tatis and Myers crushed a pair of San Lugo home runs in an 11-9 win over St. Louis at Panco Park, which ended in Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series on Friday and forced a decisive Game 3. The 21-year-old Phenom and the 29-year-old Pete joined Ruth and Gehrig as the only teammates in history to hit multiple homers in a single game.
“That’s pretty cool,” Myers said. “Very nice, to be in the category with those names, that too Tatis. Those players are great players. ”
Tatis said: “If you’re in the record book with those people, you’re doing something right.”
The Great Bambino and the Iron Horse achieved the same feat back on the same date (Oct. 1), 1932. It took place in Game 3 of the World Series at Wrigley Field, with two big flies from each hole in the femur, led by the BRICS bombers. game – Conquering 5 which became a four-game sweep.
Before Thursday, that game was not nearly as well known as Ruth and Gehrig hitting two homers, as it was one of Ruth’s explosions in particular – a cold shot. It came in the fifth inning, in which the game tied 4-4 and Charlie Root on the mound of Cubs. Presumably, as the story unfolded, Ruth predicted his homer before he did, and he stood in the center-field before the ball hit the wall in that direction.
Over the years, the debate over whether Ruth actually called her shots had intensified. Since the stars were apparently arranged on Thursday, it so happened that some new evidence emerged in the case, courtesy of Gehrig’s audio duo tape found by author Dan Joseph.
No shots were said for Tatis or Myers, but there was a bat flip heard ‘Worldwide, Tatis celebrated two runs in the seventh innings of the field against him emphatically. The second Homer of the day extended Pedres’ lead to 9-6, after Myers broke a 6-6 tie earlier in the innings with Homer, the first postseason of his career. Myers went on to make his second addition, scoring two runs in the eighth to make it 11-8 – a key development considering the Cardinal Cardinals rallied in the ninth against Trader Rosenthal.
Pandes’ five big flies – including one of Manny Machado’s big – kept him alive to win the franchise’s first postseason series after advancing to the 1998 World Series. And they made history with a little baseball along the way.
