WE ALL HIT IT OUT ON THE SAME DAY

We all hit it out on the same day

Twice earlier in 1955 Willie Mays (51 homers), Ernie Banks (44 homers), and Henry Aaron (27 homers) had hit home runs on the same day. Today, July 21st was the 3rd time in the season this trio of young sluggers hit it out of the park on the same day; Mays against the Cardinals, Banks against the Dodgers, and Aaron against the Pirates. Based upon their age at the time......National League pitchers needed to gear up emotionally 'cause there were sure gonna be some more home runs from these all-time greats. Was so fortunate to see these men play at Wrigley Field in the early 60's and revel in their true mastery of hitting a pitched ball (many which cleared the fences).
