It was quite a day in baseball 101 years ago today.

Ty Cobb of Detroit smacked his first major league grand slam as the Tigers took a 10-1 lead against Boston, which rallied to beat the Tigers.

Meanwhile the New York Giants, led by Fred "Bonehead" Merkle scored 10 runs in the first inning before St. Louis recorded an out. That's not the only record the Giants set that day. Reliever Rube Marquard entered the game in the second inning for NY and struck out 14 Cardinals in 8 innings, which is still a major league record for strikeouts by a reliever.
