On Wednesday, August 19, 1936, before a crowd upwards of 10,000 fans, the Brooklyn Royal Giants defeated the Eastside Red Sox at Eastside Park, Paterson, New Jersey.
Backed by flawless fielding, Brooklyn's 46-years young right-hander Dick "Cannonball" Redding limits the Eastsiders to just three hits in a complete-game shutout effort. Only Red Sox's first baseman Chuck Jamieson could corral Cannonball's offerings for two of Eastside's three hits. Redding helps himself with a hit, but third baseman Bucky Johnson leads Brooklyn with a triple, home run, and two runs scored. First baseman Ed Rile also accounts for two hits and Brooklyn's third run.
