Finally!
After going hitless for 80 consecutive at-bats throughout the 1968 season and into 1969, Ray Culp broke the string, with a 2nd inning home run no less, off Chuck Dobson on May 14, 1969. His celebration was short-lived, however, when he gave up back-to-back HR's to Tommy Reynolds and Reggie Jackson in the third. Culp's homer was the only run produced by the BoSox, and Culp was saddled with the loss, giving up 4 HR's in a 5-1 loss to Oakland.
