This Day in Braves History: April 17th
Briefly

1904 - The Boston Beaneaters fall to the Brooklyn Superbas 9-0. It is Brooklyn's first ever Sunday home game. To circumvent the Sunday Blue Laws, no admission is charged, but fans are required to buy scorecards to enter the grandstands and box seats.
2021 - Sean Kazmar makes a pinch-hit appearance for the Braves, his first in the majors since September of 2008. That is the longest gap between appearances since Ralph Winegarner in 1949.
1892 - The Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Browns 5-1 in the first Sunday game in National League history.
2001 - Barry Bonds becomes the 17th major league player and fourth Giant to join the 500 home run club.
