Huh. Also 50 years ago today: Ed Kranepool ties the Mets-Expos game with an eighth-inning solo homer, then wins it with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Giants walked the earth in those days. Box score from @retrosheet.bsky.social: www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/197...

Beetle browed Caucasian male with a hint of five o clock shadow (this must have been before he did the shaving cream commercials) stands in a baseball batting pose. He wears a Mets cap and pinstriped home jersey with, gloriously, a blue windbreaker underneath. This is the ineffable, estimable, leviticusly deuteronomous Ed Kranepool as depicted in the 1976 SSPC baseball card set

It is the last MLB game for Montreal pitchers Joe Keener and Clay Kirby, while the game-losing single (and the rally preceding it) is coughed up by future Red Sox manager Joe Kerrigan
