Earlier I had written that in the playoff series vs. Ft. Worth for the Texas League title in 1946 that our rightfielder Hal Hirshon, as I remembered it, had hit four homeruns, one in each of the Rebels' victories. My memories had each of these deciding the game, or at least playing a big part in the victory.
Well, recently I was able to validate some of this. I was at the library, going through the old microfiche newspapers of Sept. 1946 in quest of some other info, when I ran across stories of the first three games. Led by Hirshon's grand slam, Dallas took the opener. Then, following a Cats' win in game two, his three run blast settled game three. Can I doubt my remembrance that he indeed settled games three and four with homeruns as well?
