May 9, 1982: Dan Driessen gets his 1,000th career hit with a single back up the middle in B9 off Kent Tekulve on Mother’s Day. He ended his career with 1464 hits.

Grandma also writes about her Mother’s Day treats from her daughter’s and cards from her granddaughter’s. “Mary with that Sinfully Chocolate Cake that I love so much & Ruth with potatoes, celery, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, carrots, & squash, & 6 lemons & bananas! What treats-pictures & a cute card from Ronda & Renee. I almost ate all that big slab of cake Mary brought. It is SO Good!! I’m ashamed of myself.”
