Everyone hits!
What did the Braves do Tuesday that no group had at any point done? A debt of gratitude is in order for inquiring. Every one of the nine Braves in the beginning setup got a hit in this game. What’s more, that is another thing that had never occurred in any World Series Game 1 ever.
On the off chance that we incorporate hits by special hitters, four different groups have gotten hits from nine unique players (yet not nine starters) in a Game 1: the 2010 Rangers and Giants both did it against one another … the 1965 Dodgers did it against the Twins … and the 1978 Dodgers did it against the Yankees, in a game wherein their left defender homered and got three hits — some person named Dusty Baker!
