Chipper Jones went 7 for 7 with a stolen base on the road in a 9 inning game and cap at $140 mil. All seven hits were singles and 5 were off the pitcher's card, with 4 of those 5 being "ballpark singles" in Royals Stadium '80.
Despite his heroic offensive efforts efforts, poor Chipper couldn't even get a headline mention, and wasn't even mentioned in the game recap paragraph, which focused on Joe Morgan, who went 3 for 4 with a HR, 3 runs scored and a mere 6 RBI.
Geez, what's a guy gotta do to get a little recognition?
I know the single game record is listed at 8 hits for Arky Vaughan, but the link to the game doesn't work, it was probably at a $100 mil or less cap and likely in extra innings.
I doubt that anyone has ever gone 7 for 7 in a 9 inning game at the $140 mil cap.
Here's hoping Chipper gets his due with a mention in the record books.
