Cubs 365, September 7
On this day in 1962, Cubs rookie second baseman Ken Hubbs set a National League record for most plays handled without an error.
This is what it sounded like.
The record was broken in 1965 by Jerry Adair of the Dodgers.
By then, Hubbs was dead. He tragically perished in a plane crash in February of 1964.
