Box Score of the Week

There's no telling when (or if) a Major League Baseball season will occur in 2020. Nevertheless, I've decided to re-up this feature given the season was supposed to start late last week.

So with that, let's look back at Opening Day 1974 when the Cincinnati Reds hosted the Atlanta Braves

------------------------------------------

I decided to go with the proverbial layup (Yeah, I know. Different sport) and feature the game where Atlanta's Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list with his 714th career homer. Aaron would hit his 715th four days later at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Correct.

Not so much a layup as a hanging curve ball. :)
