Saturday, August 17th, 1907: There is an old saying, "Bad news comes in threes." Superstitious or not, it came true today in the case of the Boston Doves. Sam Horn hit three homers and they still lost the game 10-7 to Pittsburgh at South End Grounds III.
"We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through like the Pirates did. Sam hit the heck out of the ball. I'm just sorry we couldn't win it for him," his manager said in the postgame press conference.
In addition to the homers, Horn collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs.
He said after the game, "Easy swings get you home runs. I told myself not to press on the last one. It had to be a nice and easy swing."
S. Horn struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off L. McGlothen in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off L. McGlothen in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off H. Flener in the 9th.
Horn is batting .241 this season in 109 games with 37 home runs, 98 RBIs and 75 runs scored. He has 102 hits in 423 at-bats. |

Tuesday, October 9th, 1906: Add the name Davy Force to the list of baseball players to hit .400 or better in a single season. The Chicago shortstop joined that elite group by hitting a jaw-dropping .425 this year.
"To be mentioned among baseball's immortals," said Force, "is beyond my wildest dreams."
Force's 244 hits included 33 doubles, 5 triples and 3 home runs. He also scored 94 runs and batted in 70. |

Davy Force is soaking up the praise today after hitting an eye-popping .404 this season. The Chicago Cubs third baseman surpassed even his own expectations.
"I thought I could hit .350, maybe," he said, his eyes misting over. "To go beyond that..." His voice trailed off before he continued, "It's like a dream."
The Cubs star made the season a nightmare for his opposition, rattling off 289 hits including 37 doubles, 4 triples and 1 home runs. He scored 111 times and collected 77 runs batted in. |
