Baseball Historian Biography

Norm Zauchin captured the attention of baseball fans with his splendid rookie season 1955 

1955, Boston, Newspaper Clippings & Flash News Update - Norm Zauchin drove in 10 runs with three home runs - including a grand slam - and a double last night. That tremendous display powered the Boston Red Sox to a 16-0 win over the Washington Senators. Teammate Tom Brewer pitched a six-hit shutout. Rookie Zauchin, a 220lb, 6'5" right-handed first-baseman, lofted his drives over the left-field wall at Fenway Park and fell one shy of the American League record for RBIs in a single game. Zauchin, who played for Louisville last year, hit a two-run homer in the 1st inning, a grand slam in the 2nd, a one-run double in the 4th and a 3-run homer in the 5th. Zauchin entered the game with a .214 batting average and had only one homer and five RBI's in his 24 major league games. The American League record of 11 RBI's in one game is held jointly by Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees and Rudy York of the Red Sox. Time of Game 2:29
