1949 - The Brooklyn Dodgers protest a 5-3 loss to the Braves at Ebbets Field. In the eighth inning, Duke Snider hits a ball off the screen in CF that umpire Artie Gore initially signals as a home run. The Braves complain and point out that the ground rules say that the ball is still in play. Gore ends up sending Snider back to third base, where he is stranded. The protest will be rejected by commissioner Ford Frick.
1953 - The Braves and Cardinals draw a record crowd of 36,241 for a doubleheader at County Stadium.
