Jackie Brandt was the last player to bat against Sandy Koufax during a regular-season game.

He was the Yankee pitcher to start the first night game at Yankee Stadium on May 28, 1946.

1935 - Ramos, Pedro

Ah, one of my first memories of baseball, Ramos swallowed his plug on the game of the week when I was a young kid.

In '94 or '95, I remember seeing Cincinnati's Tom Browning break the humerus bone in his left arm while throwing a pitch in a televised game against the Padres. He collapsed in a heap on the mound. The snap was said to have been heard all over the stadium. The only other person I know of this happening to was Dave Dravecky, but his was because of a bone problem later diagnosed as cancer. His throwing arm(left) had to be amputated later as a result of the cancer.-BH

Is Pablo Torrealba, Yorvit's father?

Pablo had a son named Steve(a catcher) who was signed by the Braves but he was out of the league in 2002. No mention of Yorvit.-BH

I just checked Yorvit Torreabla's front page at Baseball Reference where they show MLB relation and it showed him as having none.
