The other day I ran across this item from the Zanesville [Ohio] Signal (July 29, 1938), which gives a rather blasé account of the greatest batting day in Negro League history (with no box score attached).  I don’t have anything particular to say about it, other than to point out just how stunning it is that such an event passed almost without notice, even by the local paper.  It was about the only local sporting event of any note that day; the big headline on the sports page was about an injury to Lefty Grove, then playing for the (Boston) Red Sox. (And yes, I noticed the crazy claim that Gibson averaged 10 home runs a week…)
