Cubs oldest, youngest debuts by position players By JohnW53 on Apr 5, 2021, 6:07am CDT +
Do you remember Al Heist?
He played center field for the Cubs in 1960 and 1961. In 150 games, he batted .260/.338/.390. He hit 8 home runs in 555 plate appearances, including a walk-off grand slam against the Braves on April 15, 1961.
That was his second career homer. His first had come Sept. 9, 1960, at St. Louis, in his 26th game as a Cub. He played 15 before the season ended, for a total of 41.
Heist was
32 years, 286 days old when he made his Major League debut in a 6-0 loss at St. Louis on July 17, 1960, 2 days after the Braves traded him to the Cubs for Earl Averill and $30,000 to $35,000.
Canes fall below .500 after lackluster pitching performance

Miami had all week to think about last weekend’s series loss to Virginia Tech and how to move on from it.
But if what happened at Doak Field at Dail Park Friday afternoon reflects Miami’s fortunes throughout the rest of the weekend or beyond, the No. 6 Hurricanes are in trouble.
There was a moderate breeze all afternoon at North Carolina State’s home park in Raleigh, N.C. It may have been a factor in the number of home runs hit, mostly by the No. 24 Wolfpack (4-4,1-3 ACC). But UM’s pitching won’t be looked upon favorably when many fans take their first peek at the postgame box.
Billy Williams unique 4-hit game By JohnW53 on Feb 19, 2021, 4:40am CST +
While batting .290/.361/.492, Williams made
2,510 hits.
Thirty times, he had 4 in a game, including 8 in which he went 4 for 4.
Twice, both in 1969, all 4 of his hits were for extra bases.
On Wednesday, April 9, in the second game of the season, Williams smacked 2 doubles, walked, then smacked 2 more doubles, as the Cubs thumped the visiting Phillies, 11-3.
It was a different story when he did it again, on Friday, Sept. 5, in the opener of a weekend series against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.
....
STRANDED TWICE, CIRCLED TWICE
After Steve Blass retired the first 2 Cubs, Williams doubled to center field. Ernie Banks then popped up to end the inning.
