On May 9, just three days before his 40th birthday, in the first game of a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Braves, Gramp struck out three times on Tony Cloninger fastballs. It was the first time in his career hed struck out three times in one game. This, after all, is a man who struck out only 12 times in all of 1950. He drove back home to Jersey and told my Gram hed quit immediately after the game.
