Even though Dave Bergman was the guy the Tigers brought in for defense late in the game, it was Darrell Evans who was their regular starter that season.  The Tigers had just signed him as a free agent during the offseason, and, even thouugh he only hit 7 homeruns and had a .225 average that year, his clubhouse leadership helped many of the younger players, mainly Kirk Gibson, mature into their own, as they went on to win the championship that year.  \n\nEvans became the oldest man to ever win the Home Run championship the following season at the age of 37.  He was the Tigers regular firstbaseman until being released after the 1988 season.

I am very happy...I hate Barry Bonds and hope he does not break Hank's record.  Hank Aaron did it on talent and Barry is just full of lies and steroids!!

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

The first at Busch Stadium in the '60s was Mike Shannon.  He also hit the last home run at old Sportsman Park which was where the Cards played before moving to Busch.  I cannot remember who hit the last one in Busch.

12. Most recently done by Mark Whiten in 1993. He also hit 4 homers in that game.\n\nWho had 18? I would like to see it. I looked this up in a baseball record book.

Chi Cubs 6, Cincinnati 5\n\n Greg Maddux threw fewer pitches than usual, and got another milestone win. Ryan Dempster threw a lot more than usual, and got a heart-pounding save.\n\nIt takes a lot of the unusual to beat the Cincinnati Reds these days.\n\nMaddux beat baseball's hottest team for the third time this season, and Dempster survived a scare while closing out the Chicago Cubs' 6-5 victory Friday night, ending the Reds' eight-game winning streak.\n\n"Ain't never easy," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "Dang, it was a tough one. We needed this one badly. We were due to win one of these."\n\nThe Cubs emerged from a three-game losing streak with Henry Blanco's three RBIs and a short but solid performance by Maddux (7-5), who has beaten the Reds three times this season. He gave up four hits, including solo homers by Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteberg, in 5 1-3 innings.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\nMaddux's 325th career win broke a tie with Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton for 13th on the career list. Eddie Plank is next on the list, one victory ahead.\n\nMaddux took a grounder off his lower right leg in the third, and Baker didn't hesitate to go to his bullpen early when the Reds threatened in the sixth. He lifted Maddux after only 66 pitches.\n\n"I didn't like the way he was throwing in that one inning," Baker said. "He was getting everything up."\n\nMaddux didn't second-guess the decision.\n\n"That's just trying to win," Maddux said. "Our bullpen's done a great job all year. I didn't see a problem with it."\n\nThe problems came when Dempster got into the game in the ninth with a 6-4 lead. Dempster, who had blown three of his last five save chances, loaded the bases with no outs, then walked Ryan Freel to force in a run.\n\n"Early on, I wasn't fully committed. I don't know why," Dempster said. "I just wasn't there. It took me walking in a run to finally calm down and get it done. It was definitely exciting. My heart's still going."\n\nCincinnati Reds right fielder Austin Kearns misses a double hit by Chicago Cubs' Aramis Ramirez in the seventh inning of a baseball game Friday, June 9, 2006, in Cincinnati. Kearns left the game with a hamstring injury on the play. Chicago won 6-5.\nAP - Jun 9, 10:37 pm EDT\nMore Photos\nDempster struck out Felipe Lopez, got Brandon Phillips to line out, then retired Ken Griffey Jr. on a routine grounder to end it for his 10th save in 13 chances. He threw 35 pitches in that one dramatic one inning.\n\nThe Reds were stunned after their first loss in June.\n\n"We knew we were going to win, but things happen," Phillips said. "When Freel got on base, I said, 'It's over."'\n\nThe Reds got back into the NL Central race with their longest winning streak since 1999. On Friday, they drew their first capacity crowd since an opening-day loss to the Cubs.\n\nThe 41,064 fans cheered loudly for Griffey, back in the lineup after missing two games with a sore thigh. The All-Century outfielder was a .417 career hitter off the four-time Cy Young winner, but grounded out and flied out in their two head-to-head match ups.\n\nBlanco had a two-run double and a sacrifice fly off Elizardo Ramirez (2-5), driving in one run more than the Cubs had managed in their last three games combined. Blanco, one of the NL's top defensive catchers, also threw out Lopez as he tried to steal second base in the sixth inning, undercutting a rally.\n\nMaddux is having a season of extremes. He opened 5-0 for the first time in his career, winning all of his April starts and turning 40 years old along the way.\n\nOnce the calendar turned, so did his fortunes. Maddux went into a 1-5 slump -- the only victory was over Cincinnati -- with a 7.75 ERA in his next seven starts. He was back in form on Friday, which started with more bad news for the Cubs.\n\nRight-hander Kerry Wood went ba

I remember in 87 when KSHE,a St.Louis rock station,made a fake song about Kirby.It was called Big Bad Butt,and sung to the tune of Big Bad John.Kirby just laughed about it,and found it funny.He was one of those rare players that was liked by all the players,and most all the fans,no matter what team you rooted for.Baseball needs more players like him.

If Mays and Aaron had switched and, had Mays played in County Stadium and then Atlanta's launching pad stadium (hey, in one year, 4 different Braves each hit over 40 homers) - then we would be talking about Bonds chasing his godfathers' record !!!
