JULY 23
1925: Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees hits the first of 23
career grand slams off a pitch by Firpo Marberry of the Washington
Senators in Yankee Stadium; the Yankees win 11-7. Gehrig remains the
all-time leader in Major League Baseball grand
slams, although current Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez is within
one grand slam of tying the Iron Horse's long-standing record.
1950: Singing cowboy Gene Autry and his horse Champion move to the small screen with the debut of The Gene Autry Show on CBS, keeping viewers entertained and upholding the law in the American southwest.
