Charlie Brown hits a home run
Posted: April 12, 2018 Filed under: 20th Century, Pop culture | Tags: Baseball, Charles Schulz, Charlie Brown, comics, Peanuts, sports 4 CommentsOn March 30, 1993, this strip came out in which Charlie Brown hit a game-winning home run off pitcher Royetta Hobbs. Knowing how the game typically goes for poor Charlie Brown, and seeing how ecstatically he celebrates here, kind of makes me wish I’d been at the ballpark to congratulate him.
