June 30, 1962 – The Houston Colt .45s walk off with a 7-3 victory over Cincinnati, cut short due to fog. The Reds must have thought they'd entered some Biblical plague what with the heat, humidity, a blinding fog and those Texas-sized mosquitoes. It is so thick that the outfielders can't see home plate. A six-run rally puts Houston on top early. The shortened contest allows Houston's skipper Harry Craft to get to the hospital in time for the birth of his first daughter.
