Mozart: Requiem (the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, Westminster Choir, conducted by Bruno Walter on a Columbia LP; Vienna Symphony and State Opera Chorus conducted by Eugen Jochum on Decca; Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Academy Chamber Choir conducted by Hermann Scherchen on London Ducretet-Thomson).

...Memorial Day set an alltime high by belting out a total of 50 homers in that one day of eight major-league doubleheaders.
