Ed Williamson hit 3 homers in game 2 of a doubleheader on this day in 1884. The first 3-HR game in NL history.
The homers came at Chicago's Lake Front Park
186' to LF
300' to CF
196' to RF
That's largely how he finished with a then-MLB record 27 homers on the year.

I love old All-Star game introductions. I always want to know who are the guys who do a full doff of the cap, and who does merely a tip of the cap... and of course who are the guys who do the finger gun.

Didn't think to add the team holograms to my 1991 Upper Deck binder until just now. Figured I was far off from the complete set, but I have every team except Red Sox, Royals & Mets!
