Notes & reviews

Sid Gordon's home run won him a live 100 pound bear cub for being the first Brave to homer on 'State of Maine' day; Gordon was somewhat stunned when the Maine delegation came to the clubhouse door after the game to present him with the animal; there is no record of what became of the bear
