Timeline
Valo added another bases-loaded triple that year, matching the major league record of three in a season, which was originally set by Shano Collins in 1918.
Elmer William Valo (March 5, 1921 – July 19, 1998), born Imrich Valo, was a Slovak American professional baseball right fielder, coach, and scout in Major League Baseball (MLB).
He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
The box score for the game does not list Valo — he claimed that he was left out by the official scorer, as he was not under contract with Philadelphia at the time.
Valo played for the Federalsburg Athletics of the Eastern Shore League in 1939, and for Wilmington in the Interstate League in 1940.
Valo stated that he had a plate appearance for Philadelphia on September 30, 1939.
Playing in the major leagues for 20 seasons between 1940 and 1961, Valo batted .282, with 58 home runs, and 601 runs batted in (RBI), in 1,806 games, with most of his time spent as a member of the Athletics franchise, which was then located in Philadelphia and Kansas City.
A native of Rybník, Czechoslovakia, Valo emigrated to the United States with his family at the age of six.
In August 1942, he was featured on the cover of the very first issue of Baseball Digest.
His baseball career was interrupted by a term of service in the U.S. Army from 1943–1946.
Valo was commissioned as a second lieutenant but did not see combat.
Valo's big-league playing career was affected by three franchise relocations.
He used his strike zone judgment to post an on-base percentage over .400 in eight of the ten seasons (.414 from 1946 to 1955).
On May 1, 1949, Valo became the first major league player to hit two bases-loaded triples in a game.
Valo hit for the cycle on August 2, 1950.
Following his retirement as a player, Valo worked with the Indians' organization as a major league coach and minor league manager, and served as a scout for the Phillies for 13 years, until his death.
Valo spent his first 13 seasons in the majors with the Philadelphia A's, then accompanied the team to Kansas City when the club moved after the 1954 season.
He was a hustling player and an aggressive line-drive hitter who hit .300 or better five times, with a career-high .364 in 1955.
As a right fielder, he was noted for his fearless manner in challenging fences, and occasionally crashed through an outfield wall in pursuit of a ball.
As Valo's career moved into its final phase, he became an outstanding pinch-hitter.
Valo moved with the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.
And after playing for the Washington Senators in 1960, the franchise relocated and Valo found himself playing for the Minnesota Twins.
In 1960, Valo set major-league pinch-hitting season records for games, walks and times on base.
He also set a major-league career record with 91 walks as a pinch-hitter.
He was inducted into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 1990.
Valo died in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, at the age of 77 in 1998.
