On this day x2

1. In 2003, Reed Johnson of the Toronto Blue Jays became the 4th MLB player to lead of the game and end the game with a home run (Billy Williams - 1893, Vic Power - 1957 and Darin Erstad in 2000 were the first 3). Ian Kinsler (2009) and Chris Young (2010) have since done it. 2. In 1925 in Philadelphia, the A's were trailing Cleveland 15-4 heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. They then proceed to score 13 runs to win 17-15. Wow.
