Adding to the sum total of human knowledge


Baseball Reference made it easy to look through all the Brooklyn at Cincinnati games for the period 1947-1950.  Blowing up the photo revealed a final score of Cincinnati 6, Brooklyn 2.  The Dodger batting order had several recognizable numbers:  #4, Snider, in the 3rd spot, #42, Robinson cleanup; #6, Furillo fifth, #14, Hodges sixth, and #1, Reese eighth. (I should have known it wasn't 1947, because Jackie Robinson didn't bat cleanup until after he won the MVP in 1949.)
