Jim Bottomley of the St. Louis Jim Cardinals set a major league baseball record for RBIs in a single game with 12, during a 17–3 win over the Brooklyn Robins. In 1993 the record was tied, but it has never been beaten.
Bottomly would retire from baseball in 1938 and go on to raise Hereford cattle in Missouri as well as being a radio announcer. HE scouted for the Cubs starting in 1957 and managed their Class D minor league Appalachian League club. He died in 1959 at age 59.
Betty Joan Perske, known on the screen as Lauren Bacall, was born in the Bronx.
Both of her parents were of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, with her mother having been born in Romania. Her mother had adopted the maiden name of Bacall, that she later adopted as a screen name. Her parents divorced when she was five, and she no longer saw her father. She uniformly came across as a highly intelligent, graceful, figure on the screen.
She married Humphrey Bogart in 1947 when she was 20 and he was 45. It was his fourth, and last, marriage. She'd marry Jason Robards after Bogart's death, but her second marriage would end in divorce.
