Sunday 4/5/1959:
Curtis Borkholder was promoted from AAA to the active roster.
Harry Stanek was sent down from the active roster to AAA.
On the way back to the big club, Borkholder met up with Stanek for the first time in five years... and Stanek shot Borkholder in the face, cutting his comeback short.
Would Borkholder live to see another major league game? Find out next time on The Revenge of Borkholder, Part II.
