Sorry, couldn't find much...but at least we know that we won big against the White Sox on this day.... too bad about Jackie Hayes, though.
1940
ยป During a 10–1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field in LA, White Sox vet 2B Jackie Hayes catches a cinder in his eye. The eye will become infected and though he finishes the season, he loses the sight in the eye. In 1943 he will lose the sight in both eyes
Former Cub Pitcher's Birthday:
Player notes: Lon Warneke was, like Dizzy Dean, a native Arkansan, and was cut from the same mold. He pitched for two pennant winners for the Cubs, and led the NL in several pitching categories in his best season (1932). He has one no-hitter to his credit. He was also a pretty good fielding pitcher.
Warneke had one of the all-time great nicknames: "The Arkansas Hummingbird". Sources disagree as to whether this was from his singing with Pepper Martin's band, or from the sound of his fastball.
Another Former Cub birthday:
Julio Zuleta was born on Friday, March 28, 1975, in Panama City, Panama. Zuleta was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 6, 2000, with the Chicago Cubs. He spent a year with the GCL Cubs in 1993. He began 1994 in Huntington before going back down to play with the GCL Cubs. Zuleta made his Major League debut with the Cubs in 2000. Zuleta played in 30 games hitting .294 with 3 Home Runs with 20 hits. Zuleta now plays in Japan.
