Non-Musical history for today: 1917 – In a game against the Washington Senators, Boston Red Sox pitcher Ernie Shore retired 26 batters in a row after replacing Babe Ruth, who had been ejected for punching the umpire. Ernie Shore was born in East Bend, NC, a small unincorporated town to the northwest of Winston-Salem. Until the early 2010s, the Winston-Salem Warthogs played in Ernie Shore Field. The owners sold it to Wake Forest University, and it became “Couch Field.”
