And not too many people throwing triple-digit heat, either.

On this date in history; the Cards and Cubs made a trade in the middle of a doubleheader.

On the afternoon of May 30, 1922, the Cardinals and Cubs squared off in Game 1 of a Memorial Day doubleheader at Cubs Park (it would become Wrigley Field five years later). Center fielder Cliff Heathcote batted seventh for St. Louis and finished 0-for-4, while Chicago right fielder Max Flack drove in a run as part of a 4-1 Cubs win.

A few hours later, it was time for the nightcap. Batting fifth and playing right field for the Cubs: Cliff Heathcote. And leading off for the Cardinals? None other than Max Flack.
