Default Baseball's 1,000,000th Run

On 4 May 1975, the 1,000,000th run in MLB history was scored. For a brief few minutes it appeared that Dave Concepcion’s 5th inning home run off of Atlanta’s Phil Niekro did the trick. As fate would have it for Concepcion and Cincinnati fans, Houston Astro first baseman Bob Watson beat the speedy Reds shortstop to the plate by mere matter of seconds at Candlestick Park.

The 1,000,000th run countdown was sponsored by Tootsie Rolls. If you have promotional items related to this event, I would love to hear from you. This bat and wire photo could use some company.
