Talk:Lou Chiozza

From BR Bullpen

Baseball changed dramatically in 1935 with the introduction of Major League Baseball under the lights. President Franklin Roosevelt threw the light switch to the historic first Major League night game from the White House six hundred (600+) miles away from Crosley Field. The first MLB night game ever played were the Cincinatti Reds against the Philiadelphia Phillies that occurred on May 24, 1935. Lou Chiozza was the first major league baseball player ever to come to bat in a night time baseball game.

Interesting information which I've added to the main article.--Philippe 11:01, 30 Dec 2005 (EST)
