From Hank Aaron to Pete Rose: A Week of Milestones and Oddities

A century’s worth of baseball history unfolds this week: Hank Aaron’s 3,000th hit, Dick Williams’ curfew‑beating blast, a bizarre 1893 near‑home run, a voided Sunday game, Roger Clemens’ 200th win, Pete Rose’s run‑scoring record, and the 1989 Indians leading the AL East under .500.

When I was a young boy I read a book on how to hit a baseball, written (supposedly) by Stan Musial. It had a picture of the Man himself on the cover.
I don’t remember much about it, but I do recall that it had a section on how to bunt. Even at my young age I wondered why Stan knew or cared about bunting.
As an adult, I checked. My youthful intuition was confirmed. Over 22 years, 3026 games and 12721 PAs, Stan had 35 SHs.
