                  On July 12 in Baseball History...


1890 - Appearing in his only major league game, Mr. Lewis (first name unknown) yields 13 hits, walks seven batters and allows 20 earned runs during the three innings of his major league debut at Brooklyn's Eastern Park. The rookie's performance contributes to the last place Buffalo Bisons' 28-16 loss to the Wonders in the Players' League contest.

1897 - Louisville's Tom McCreery hits three home runs, providing the difference in the Colonels' 10-7 victory over the Phillies at the Baker Bowl. Each of the outfielder's round-trippers is of the inside-the-park variety and all are given up by Philadelphia right-hander Jack Taylor.

1901 - At Boston's Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds, Cy Young of the Americans seven-hits the A's, 5-3, to win his 300th victory. The 34-year old will win an additional 211 games to establish an amazing major league record of 511 career victories.

1906 - At Robison Field, Sherry Magee establishes a franchise record by swiping four bases in the Phillies' 7-6 loss to St. Louis. The Philadelphia outfielder's mark, a feat he will repeat next month, will be equaled by Garry Maddox (1978) and Jayson Werth (2009).

1910 - The legendary verse detailing the Cubs' double play combination of Tinker to Evers to Chance, entitled That Double Play Again, is published for the first time. When the 'New York Evening Mail' republishes the same poem six days later it will use the title by which it is best known today, Baseball's Sad Lexicon.

1911 - For the second time in his career, Ty Cobb completes the stolen base cycle in one inning when he steals second, third and home in the first frame of the Tigers' 9-0 Bennett Park victory over Philadelphia. The 'Georgia Peach' will accomplish the feat four times, establishing a major league mark shared with Honus Wagner.

1931 - After setting a major league record in the first game with nine doubles, the Cubs and Cardinals combined to hit another twenty-three two-baggers in the second game for an incredible total of thirty-two doubles in their doubleheader.

1943 - An Armed Forces All-Star team managed by Babe Ruth and featuring Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams plays a fund-raising game against the Braves in Boston. The All Stars win on a Splendid Splinter's' home run, 9-8.

1945 - Braves' outfielder Tommy Holmes goes hitless ending his consecutive-game hitting streak at 37 which sets a National League record. The mark will stand until Pete Rose surpasses it in 1978.

1949 - The major league owners agree to install warning tracks made of cinder in front of outfield fences prior to the start of next season. The origin of the concept is credited to Yankee Stadium where an actual running track, used in the ballpark's track and field events, helped fielders know their proximity to the outfield fence when attempting to make a play.

1949 - The first All-Star game which includes black players is played at Ebbets Field. Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson and Don Newcombe represent the National League in an 11-7 loss to Larry Doby and his AL teammates.

1951 - Allie Reynolds of the New York Yankees beat Bob Feller of the Indians 1-0 with a no-hitter at Cleveland. Gene Woodling homered for the Yanks.

1955 - Stan Musial hit Frank Sullivan's first pitch of the 12th inning for a home run to give the National League a 6-5 victory in the All-Star game at County Stadium in Milwaukee.


1966 - The National League All-Stars edge the AL, 2-1, in a game played at the newly-built Busch Stadium when hometown favorite Tim McCarver scores the winning run on Dodger shortstop Maury Wills's tenth-inning walk-off single with Giants hurler Gaylord Perry getting the victory by tossing a scoreless ninth and tenth inning. The 105-degree weather, 113 degrees on the playing surface, results in nearly 150 people being treated for heat exhaustion.

1970 - In the second inning of an eventual 7-3 win over the Orioles, the Tigers lay down a record-tying three sacrifice bunts and score a run on a sac fly. Detroit muffs Cesar Gutierrez's and Mickey Lolich's attempts to give themselves up resulting in both players advancing a runner and reaching reaching first base without making an out.

1979 - Thousands of fans overran the Comiskey Park field during Disco Demolition Night, causing the Chicago White Sox to forfeit the second game of a doubleheader.


1988 - Terry Steinbach homers in his first at-bat as an All-Star. The A's catcher becomes the first major leaguer to have homered in his first major league at-bat (9/12/86) and also in the Midsummer Classic.

1989 - Ron Guidry retires from baseball. During his 14-year career with the Yankees, 'Louisiana Lightning' compiles a 170- 91 record with a 3.29 ERA.

1990 - Melido Perez pitched the record-tying seventh no-hitter of the season as the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 8-0.

1991 - The Chicago White Sox claimed Mike Huff from the Cleveland Indians on waivers.


1992 - In the Braves' 7-4 victory over Chicago at Wrigley Field, Jeff Blauser becomes the fourth shortstop to hit three home runs in a game‚ joining the ranks of Ernie Banks (Cubs, 1955)‚ Barry Larkin (Reds, 1991)‚ and Fred Patek (Angels, 1980). The Atlanta infielder had hit only 39 homers in the past six seasons.

1993 - Mariners’ outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. becomes the first and only major leaguer to hit Baltimore’s B&O Warehouse on the fly. The estimated 460-foot shot is launched during the All-Star Game home-run hitting contest at Camden Yards in 1993.


1994 - Tony Gwynn scored on Moises Alou's double in the tenth inning to give the National League an 8-7 victory and end its record six-game losing streak in the All-Star Game. Fred McGriff, the MVP, hit a two-run homer in the ninth.

1996 - In a scene reminiscent to yesteryear, the first basemen leave their mitt in the field between innings throughout Montreal's 3-2 victory over the Cubs. The Expos' first baseman David Segui is really sharing his glove with Chicago's Mark Grace, whose equipment did not arrive at Olympic Stadium due to a shipping error.

1997 - Pitching for the first time in Fenway not wearing a Red Sox uniform, Roger Clemens strikes out sixteen as the Blue Jays defeat Boston, 3-1. During the game, it appears the 'Rocket' is continually glaring up at Dan Duquette in the general manager's suite.

1997 - In front of a full house at Three Rivers Stadium on Jackie Robinson Night, two Pirates' pitchers throw the first extra inning combined no-hitter in big league history. Ricardo Rinon takes over in the tenth inning to preserve starter Francisco Cordova's effort and gets the win when Mark Smith pinch hits a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the inning.

1998 - Mark McGwire becomes the second player to hit 40 home runs in both leagues. The Cardinals' first baseman, who accomplished the feat three times with the A's, joins Darrell Evans who hit 41 with the Braves (1973) and 40 with the Tigers (1985).

2000 - In a six-player deal, the Reds trade Denny Neagle (8-2, 3.52) and outfielder Mike Frank to the Yankees for minor league third baseman Drew Henson, outfielder Jackson Melian and pitchers Brian Reith and Ed Yarnall.

2000 - The Phillies trade hurler Andy Ashby to the Braves for pitcher Bruce Chen and Jimmy Osting. Atlanta gets the better of the the mid-season deal when Ashby wins eight games for his new club compared to only three victories posted by Chen and none for Osting, who will never make the parent club.

2002 - The San Diego Padres traded D'Angelo Jimenez to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Humberto Quintero and Alex Fernandez.


2005 - At the Home Run Derby in Detroit, Bobby Abreu shatters the records for a single round, the championship round and the grand total for all three rounds of the derby by hitting 41 dingers into every part of Comerica Park. The Phillies outfielder, who was representing Venezuela in the event’s new international format, goes deep 24 times in the first round, tacks on six more in the second round and finishes with 11 more in the championship round.

2005 - During the All Star game Town Hall discussion, Bud Selig, believing the designated hitter is a big part of the game, states the rule remain in use for the foreseeable future. The commissioner however makes it clear the National League will never adopt the 1973 addition to the American League rule book.

2006 - The offensively-challenged Astros obtained Aubrey Huff from the Devil Rays in exchange for two minor league prospects, RHP Mitch Talbot and infielder Ben Zobrist as well as cash. The team hopes the 30-year old third baseman can provide some pop in the Houston lineup, which is tied for the worst batting average in the league.

2009 - The Red Sox dedicate the center-field flagpole to Dom DiMaggio by raising a banner just below the stars and stripes with the former center fielder's name on it. After the ceremony, his widow, Emily, throws out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Fenway Park contest against Kansas City.

2011 - A half-hour after the Mid-summer Classic is completed, the Mets send former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez and cash to the Brewers for two players to be named later. K-Rod, an outstanding closer for the Mets and Angels, will be used primarly as a set-up man for Milwaukee's John Axford.
2012 - The Chicago Cubs released Mike MacDougal.

2012 - The Chicago White Sox signed Scott Carroll as a free agent.

2013 - The Chicago White Sox traded Matt Thornton and cash to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Brandon Jacobs.

This Date In White Sox History - July 12th





July 12, 1979 - The Tigers win the first game of a scheduled doubleheader 4-1 on Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park. Chicago radio DJ Steve Dahl and baseball promoter Mike Veeck organized an event dubbed "officially the world's largest anti-disco rally" at Comiskey Park. Fans were invited to bring disco records to a doubleheader - to have them blown up after the first game. Unfortunately, the explosion (and hundreds of excited fans) left so much debris on the field that the Sox were required to reschedule (and later forfeit) the second game. "It looks," Dahl declared of the aftermath, "like World War II!"

The late actor Michael Clarke Duncan, a life long White Sox fan who also narrated the 2005 World Series Championship video, was one of the teens who was on the field and forced the forfeit to the Tigers on Disco Demolition Night.

On July 13 in Baseball History...


1896 - In a 9-8 defeat to the hometown Chicago Colts (Cubs), Phillies' outfielder Ed Delahanty hits four home runs in one game. All of the round trippers are the inside-the-park variety.

1922 - Cardinal right-hander Bill Doak loses his no-hitter when he forgets to cover first base turning Curt Walker's seventh-inning grounder to first baseman Jack Fournier into an infield hit. The Redbird's' star spitballer settles for a one-hitter, his second of the season, and a 1-0 victory over the Phillies at Sportsman's Park.

1934 - During the third inning in front of 20,000 fans at Navin Field in Detroit, Babe Ruth wallops a Tommy Bridges' 3-2 pitch far over the right field wall for his 700th career home run. The 4-2 victory over the Tigers puts the Bronx Bombers back into first place, but Lou Gehrig is helped off the field in the first inning with a severe bout of lumbago.

1940 - In a twin bill against St. Louis, Joe DiMaggio hits three homers and drives in nine runs. The Yankee outfielder's offensive outburst contributes to the the Bronx Bombers' sweep of the Browns in New York, 10-4 and 12-6.

1943 - Thanks to a three-run home run by Red Sox second baseman Bobby Doerr, the American League defeats the National League in the first night All Star game, 5-3. In a game broadcast to GIs via shortwave radio, Pirates' outfielder Vince DiMaggio shines for the Senior Circuit hitting a single, triple and home run.

1948 - At Sportsman's Park, the American League defeats the National League for the 11th time in 15 All Star contests, 5-2. Vic Raschi pitches three scoreless innings to pick up the win and hits a two-run single as well.

1954 - Pitcher Dean Stone did not retire a batter and received credit for the American League's 11-9 All-Star victory at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. Red Schoendienst tried to steal a run for the Natioinal League after Stone was summoned into the game in the eighth inning, but the pitcher's throw to the plate nailed the runner for the third out.

1956 - At Wrigley Field‚ Ernie Banks plays in his 394th consecutive contest to tie Al Simmons' mark for straight games played after breaking in as a rookie. Mr. Cub's single drives in the decisive run in the Cubs' 7-6 victory over Pittsburgh.

1960 - The Yankees host the second of two All Star games played in three days. The contest marks the return of Willie Mays to New York as the San Francisco Giants superstar goes 3-for-4, including a homer and a single off American League starter Whitey Ford, pacing the National League to a 6-0 victory.

1962 - Tying a major league mark, Orioles catcher Charlie Lau hits four doubles in Baltimore's 10-3 victory over the Indians at Memorial Stadium. The future hitting guru's quartet of two-baggers also establishes a new team record.

1963 - At the age of 43, Early Wynn pitches the first five innings to record his 300th victory when the Indians down the Kansas City A's, 7-4. The win will be the future Hall of Famer's last in the major leagues, and he will finish his 23-year career with a 300-244 record.

1965 - The National League took the lead over the American League for the first time since the All-Star series began, winning 6-5 at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota.

1966 - After being released by Houston earlier in the month, 39-year old Robin Roberts signs as a free agent with the Cubs. The right-hander will finish the season 2-3 for his new team ending his 19 year Hall of Fame career with 286 victories.

1971 - In a game which features six home runs, including Reggie Jackson crushing a Dock Ellis fourth inning pitch off the power generator located on the Tiger Stadium right-field roof 520 feet from home plate, the American League beats the NL, 6-4 in All-Star action. All the players who homer, J. Bench, H. Aaron, R. Clemente, F. Robinson, H. Killebrew as well as Reggie, will become members of the Hall of Fame.


1971 - Frank Robinson, who hit a two-run home run in the Mid-Summer Classic, is named the MVP of the contest won by the American League at Tiger Stadim, 6-4. The Orioles right fielder joins teammate Brooks Robinson as the second player to be named the Most Valuable Player of a league (1961-NL , 1966-AL), a World Series (1966) and an All-Star Game.

1972 - The Cardinals waste no time in blanking the Braves, 2-0, behind the two-hit pitching performance of Reggie Cleveland at Busch Stadium. The contest, which lasts only 93 minutes, is the quickest nine-inning game in Redbird history.

1973 - At Atlanta Stadium, Hal Breeden of the Expos becomes only the second major leaguer to pinch-hit home runs in both ends of a doubleheader. In 1943, Red Sox player-manager Joe Cronin accomplished the feat in a twin bill against the Philadelphia A's.

1973 - Bobby Murcer hits three homers off Gene Garber that account for all RBIs in the Yankees' 5-0 victory over the Royals. The Friday the Thirteenth contest at Yankee Stadium takes only one hour and 51 minutes to play.

1976 - The National League collects its 13th win over the Junior Circuit in the last 14 All-Star games with a 7-1 victory at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium. George Foster, one of seven Reds position players on the team, is named the MVP of the Midsummer Classic.

1976 - The last segment of Connie Mack Stadium, formerly known as Shibe Park, is demolished when the corner tower and its domed cupola of the A's and Phillies' former home is torn down. In 1991, the Deliverance Evangelistic Church, an independent Pentecostal congregation, will construct a church building on the site.

1977 - With New York third baseman Lenny Randle at the plate in the sixth inning, Shea Stadium goes dark when the Big Apple suddenly experiences a blackout. Before the game against the Cubs is suspended due to the power shortage, the Mets' players drive their cars onto the field and amuse the crowd by performing a variety of antics in front of the headlights. (My thanks to Anthony Ventarola for submitting this event)

1982 - In the first All-Star game played outside the United States, the National League cruises to its 11th straight win beating the American League at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, 4-1. Dave Concepcion's second inning two-run homer off Red Sox starter Dennis Eckersley is the turning point of the game.

1984 - The Yankees retire Roger Maris's (#9) and Elston Howard's (#32) uniform numbers. The team also erects plaques in their honor to pay tribute to their achievements as Bronx Bombers.

1988 - After replacing John McNamara as the Red Sox manager, Joe Morgan makes a good first impression as the team wins the first nineteen out of twenty with him at the helm.

1990 - Dave Johnson retires 27 of the last 29 batters he faces, but loses his complete game effort to Minnesota, 3-1. The Oriole starter's undoing is a two-run home run hit by John Moses in the first, an inning that takes the right-hander 33 pitches to complete compared to the 83 tosses he will make during the rest of the Memorial Stadium contest.

1991 - At Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, four Oriole hurlers combined to throw a no-hitter blanking the A's, 2-0. Starting pitcher Bob Milacki holds the home team hitless for the first six innings, follow by Mike Flanagan, Mark Williamson, and Gregg Olson, who all throw one inning of no-hit ball.

1993 - In a game which will be best remembered for John Kruk's non at-bat against fireballer Randy Johnson, the AL All-Stars beat the NL rivals at Baltimore's Camden Yards, 9-3. As the Phillies' first baseman flails at the Big Unit's fastballs in a comical manner, Kirby Puckett's double and home run earn the Twins outfielder the Midsummer Classic's MVP Award.

1997 - Casey Candaele flies out to left field in his last major league at-bat ending his nine-year career with the Expos, Astros, Indians with a .250 batting average. The utilityman's mom, Helen Callaghan, a former star in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, finished her big league career with a .257 lifetime average playing for the Minneapolis Millerettes and Fort Wayne Daisies.


1999 - Boston's Pedro Martinez pitched himself into the All-Star Game record book, becoming the first to strike out the first four hitters in an All-Star Game, fanning Barry Larkin, Larry Walker and Sammy Sosa in the first inning, and Mark McGwire to start the second. Martinez struck out five in the first two innings - tying an American League record - to lead the American League to a 4-1 victory over the National League.


2004 - Having earned the All-Star MVP award as a 23-year old for pitching three perfect innings at the Astrodome in 1986, the 41-year old Roger Clemens gives up six runs in the first inning in the 75th Midsummer Classic played at Houston’s Minute Maid Park. The eventual 9-4 American League victory is halted in the top of the fifth inning as the much chagrined ‘Rocket’ receives the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award from Bud Selig in recognition of his outstanding 21-year career.

2006 - In an eight-player deal, the Nationals trade pitchers Gary Majewski, Bill Bray and Daryl Thompson, infielders Brendan Harris and Royce Clayton to the Reds in exchange for outfielder Austin Kearns, shortstop Felipe Lopez and right-hander Ryan Wagner. Washington's GM Jim Bowden, formerly with Cincinnati, is familiar with all his new acquisitions having been responsible for their presence with the Reds.

2009 - On the day before the All-Star game, acting GM Mike Rizzo, citing the team has underachieved, announces the Nationals have fired Manny Acta. Bench coach and former major league manager Jim Riggleman is named as the interim skipper of the 26-61 club.

2009 - At Busch Stadium, Prince Fielder outslugs Rangers' outfielder Nelson Cruz in the final round, 6-5, to win the All-Star Home Run Derby. The Brewer first baseman's power surge included a stunning shot estimated to have traveled over 500 feet.

2010 - The National League wins its first All-Star Game since 1996, beating their AL rivals at Angel Stadium, 3-1. Braves catcher Brian McCann, the Mid-Summer Classic's MVP, hits a three-run double with two outs in the seventh inning to break the Senior Circuit's 14-year drought.

2012 - Zack Greinke becomes the first pitcher to start three consecutive games in the same season since Red Faber turned the hat trick with the White Sox in 1917. The Brewers' right-hander, who was starting pitcher in the team's final game before the All-star break because he was ejected from the previous contest the day before for arguing a close call at first base after  throwing just four pitches, makes it three straight starts when he takes the mound to begin the second half of the season for the Brew Crew.

2012 - The New York Yankees signed Kosuke Fukudome as a free agent.

2013 - Giants' right-hander Tim Lincecum hurls the 15th no-hitter in franchise history, the seventh since the team shifted to San Francisco in 1958, when he blanks the Padres, 9-0, in front of a very enthusiastic crowd at Petco Park. The 'Freak' throws 148 pitches en route to his historic performance, the second most ever needed to accomplish the task.

2015 - The Kansas City Royals released Jason Frasor.

On July 14 in Baseball History...


1916 - Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns went the distance in a 17-inning 0-0 tie with the Boston Red Sox. Carl Mays went the first fifteen innings for the Red Sox and Dutch Leonard finished.

1934 - At Navin Field in Detroit, in an effort to keep the consecutive game streak intact, the Yankees have lumbago-stricken Lou Gehrig's bat lead off and list him as the shortstop in the line up. After singling in the first inning, the 'Iron Horse' leaves the game without fielding as the Tigers pound out 11 doubles to edge the Yankees, 12-11.

1934 - In the opener of a twin bill at the Baker Bowl, the Phillies score 11 runs in the second inning to coast to an 18-0 rout of the Reds. Philadelphia will sweep the doubleheader with a 5-4 victory in the nightcap.

1938 - In Toledo, the American Association All-Star squad become the first team to experiment with uniforms designed to be worn during night games. The red, white and blue shiny satin uniforms are believed to reflect the light during the evening contests.

1946 - Cleveland player-manager Lou Boudreau hit four doubles and a home run in the first game of a doubleheader against Boston, but Ted Williams connected for three home runs and drove in eight runs for an 11-10 Red Sox victory.

1956 - Mel Parnell of the Boston Red Sox pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox for a 4-0 victory at Fenway Park.

1967 - Eddie Mathews of the Astros hit his 500th home run off San Francisco's Juan Marichal at Candlestick Park. Houston beat the Giants 8-6.

1968 - Hank Aaron got his 500th home run off Mike McCormick as the Atlanta Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2.

1968 - Don Wilson of the Houston Astros struck out eighteen Reds in a 6-1 victory over Cincinnati in the second game of a doubleheader.

1970 - Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds scored on Jim Hickman's 12th-inning single after bowling over Cleveland's Ray Fosse at home plate to give the National League a 5-4 victory over the American League at Riverfront Stadium.


1972 - In a Major League first, Bill Haller was the umpire behind the plate while his brother Tom Haller was the catcher for the Detroit Tigers.

1995 - Ramon Martinez threw the first no-hitter of the season as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Florida Marlins 7-0. Martinez was perfect for 7 1/3 innings before walking Tommy Gregg.

2000 - John Olerud has a game-tying double disallowed because first base umpire Jim Wolf calls time, but then the Mariners' first baseman hits a three-run homer helping Seattle to beat the Padres, 7-5.

2000 - Major League owners decide to return to playing an unbalanced schedule (teams play more games against teams in their own division) rather than the presently used balanced schedule (play approximately the same number of games against all teams within the league). The American League has used to a balanced schedule since 1977 and the National League started in 1993.

2000 - A report presented to owners, The Commissioner's Initiative: Women and Baseball, finds women make up 46 percent of the average crowd at a big league game and urges major league franchises to make more of an effort to market to women patrons. According to the same report forty-three percent of women could not name a player on their home team's roster.

2002 - Nelson Barrera, Mexico's career home run and RBI leader, is electrocuted trying to free metal roofing from high-tension wires. The 44-year old 'Admiral', who hit 455 home runs during his 26-year Mexican Baseball League tenure, had hoped to continue playing so that he could hold the career Triple Crown by also reaching the career hit record.

2004 - Houston fires Jimy Williams and names Phil Garner, a former Astro, as the interim manager through the rest of the season. The 60-year old former skipper, who had a .515 (215-197) winning percentage in his two years at the helm, including this season's 44-44 record, was roundly booed by hometown Minute Maid Park fans at yesterday's All-star game.

2005 - Defeating their historical arch rivals, the Giants become the first team to win 10,000 games as a franchise by edging the Dodgers in LA, 4-3. The Giants, who started as the New York Gothams in 1899, have posted a 10,000-8,511 record during the club’s 123 seasons in the National League.

2005 - The first-known baseball card, which is part of a children's educational game, illustrates several boys playing together in a field as one pitches a ball to another holding a bat, makes its public debut at the Smithsonian Institution. The discovery of the historic card, discovered in an Maine attic, dates back to the early 19th century, predating other known cards by several decades.

2008 - Josh Hamilton, who at one point goes deep 13 consecutive times, hits a record-setting 28 home runs in the first round of the Home Run Derby, but falls short in finals losing to Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, 5-3. With 71-year-old former coach Clay Counsil pitching, the Rangers outfielder breaks Bobby Abreu's mark of 24 set in 2005.


2009 - The American League extends its unbeaten streak to 13 games (12-0-1) with a 4-3 victory over the NL at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Rays' outfielder Carl Crawford, who robs Brad Hawpe of a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, is named the MVP of the midsummer Classic.

2009 - Clad in his White Sox jacket, Barrack Obama becomes the first Commander-in-Chief to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in an All-Star game since Gerald Ford tossed the ball at the beginning of the 1976 All-Star Game. After warming up in the White House Rose Garden prior to arriving at Busch Stadium, the 44th president's pitch barely reaches the plate, but doesn't bounce thanks to the efforts of Cardinals' hometown hero Albert Pujols, who moves up from home and reaches out to scoop the low throw.


2010 - The Blue Jays trade starting shortstop Alex Gonzalez along with minor leaguers Tim Collins and Tyler Pastornicky to the Braves in exchange for infielder Yunel Escobar and southpaw Jo-Jo Reyes. The Braves' new infielder is probably best known for his role in Florida's improbable World Series victory over New York, that includes a walk-off home run in the 12th inning of Game Four giving the Marlins a 4-3 victory and a 2-2 tie in the Fall Classic.

2011 - Reggie Walton, the presiding judge in the Roger Clemens' perjury case, declares a mistrial due to evidence revealed to the jury he believed would be prejudicial against the former major league right-hander. During the brief two days of the proceedings, the U.S. District Judge had scolded prosecutors twice during the trial for violating his orders not to reveal certain evidence to the jury, saying their non-compliance could put the whole case in jeopardy.

2011 - Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the Yankees' 16-7 loss to Toronto at the Rogers Centre, appear in their 1,660th regular-season game as teammates, the most two players have been together in franchise history. Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri had set the previous team mark in 1937.

2013 - Chris Davis ties Reggie Jackson's 1969 American League record for home runs before the All-Star break when he hits his 37th round-tripper, the best in the majors, in the Orioles' 7-4 victory against Toronto at Camden Yards. The Baltimore first baseman ends the first half with home runs in his last four games, the same way he started the season.

2014 - The San Francisco Giants signed Mitchell Boggs as a free agent.

2014 - The New York Yankees released Alfonso Soriano.

2015 - Before its 86th All-Star Game, MLB announces the selection of Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Sandy Koufax, and Willie Mays as the sport’s greatest living players. MLB also reveals the fan's choices of the "Franchise Four” for each organization, unveiling the four most impactful players who best represented the history of each franchise that included honoring the hometown Reds with Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Barry Larkin and Joe Morgan along with Pete Rose, who received a loud ovation from the Cincinnati fans, being introduced before the start of the Great American Ball Park contest.

July 14, 1915 - White Sox pitcher Red Faber steals 3 bases in the 4th inning against the Philadelphia A's. With the White Sox leading 4-2 in the 4th and rain threatening‚ the A's try to delay the game. Joe Bush purposely hits Faber with a pitch‚ and Faber‚ trying to speed up the game‚ tries to get thrown out by stealing. Little effort is made to retire him‚ and he scores Chicago's 5th run. His "steal" of home turns out to be the winning run‚ as rain never materializes‚ and Chicago wins 6-4.

July 14, 1979 - It’s hard to believe given his reputation for sleepwalking and indifference, but White Sox outfielder Claudell Washington actually had a good game for the club. Washington hit three home runs against the Tigers in the Sox 12 - 4 win at Comiskey Park. He went 3 for 5 with five RBI.

July 14, 2000 - Frank Thomas breaks Luke Appling’s team record for most RBI when he drives in his 1,117th. It came at home in a 9 - 4 loss to the Cardinals. This was also the same game where Cal Eldred left in the 5th inning with soreness in his forearm / elbow which would require surgery. In the midst of a tremendous first half of the season with seemingly all the pieces in place for a run to a championship, Eldred’s injury, coupled with the loss for a long period of time, of starter James Baldwin, forced the Sox remaining pitchers into a heavier work load which caused a rash of bad arms. Two pitchers, Mike Sirotka and Jim Parque basically saw their careers ended by arm injuries suffered later in 2000.

On July 15 in Baseball History...


1901 - Christy Mathewson becomes the first rookie to throw a no-hitter in baseball history in the modern era. The 20-year old right-hander holds the Cardinals hitless in the Giants' 5-0 victory at Robison Field in St. Louis.

1939 - National League president Ford Frick orders two-foot screens affixed inside all foul poles after Billy Jurges of the Giants and umpire George Magerkurth spit at each other after a foul ball call down the left field line is disputed at the Polo Grounds. The American League will soon follow the Senior Circuit lead and will also install foul ball screens.

1950 - Citing the competition of television and radio, the Colonial League ceases its operation. The four-year old circuit of Class B clubs was established in 1947 and featured teams from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

1952 - Trailing in their final turn at bat by six runs, Eddie Joost's walk-off grand slam off of Satchel Paige gives the A's a dramatic 7-6 victory over the Browns at Shibe Park. 'Old Satch', who yielded a game-ending bases full round-tripper to Sammy White two weeks ago at Fenway Park, becomes the first hurler in major league history to give up two walk-off grand slams in the same season.

1960 - Home plate umpire Frank Dascoli stops play for 24 minutes when Willie McCovey hits a pitch into shallow left field that no one can see because of the dense fog. The Giants first baseman's second inning 'invisible triple' doesn't deter the Dodgers when they go on to win the Candlestick Park contest, 5-3.

1960 - Brooks Robinson becomes the first Oriole to hit for the cycle when he strokes a two-run triple to center field off Turk Lown in the ninth inning. The third baseman's 5-for-5 performance contributes to Baltimore's 5-2 victory over Chicago at Comiskey Park.

1962 - In the seventh inning of the nightcap of a twin bill split with the Pirates at Forbes Field, Cardinal left fielder Stan Musial establishes a new National League record with his 10,428th time at bat. 'Stan the Man' who will finish his 22-year career with 10,972 plate appearances, surpasses Honus Wagner's mark set in 1917. (Two more at-bats will be credited to the The Flying Dutchman upon further research)

1967 - Cardinals' pitcher Bob Gibson's right fibula is fractured by a Roberto Clemente line drive during a 6-3 loss to the Pirates. The injury will sideline the Redbird right-hander until Labor Day, but he will recover well enough to allow only three earned runs in three complete World Series game victories over the Red Sox.

1969 - Cincinnati's Lee May hit four home runs in a doubleheader split with the Atlanta Braves. May had two home runs and drove in five runs in both games as the Reds lost the opener 9-8 but came back to win the second game, 10-4.

1969 - Richard Nixon becomes the first president to witness a triple play. In a 7-3 Senator victory at RFK Stadium, the Tigers pull off the around-the-horn triple killing on an Ed Brinkman grounder in the bottom of the fifth inning.

1969 - In the Braves' first game after the All-Star break, Hank Aaron goes deep off Clay Carroll in the fifth inning of the team's 9-8 comeback victory over Cincinnati at Crosley Field. The round-tripper, the 534th home run of his career, moves the 'Hammer' into fourth place on the all-time list, ahead of Jimmie Foxx and only two behind Mickey Mantle.

1973 - Nolan Ryan of the California Angels struck out seventeen batters and threw his second no-hitter of the year, beating Detroit 6-0.

1980 - Johnny Bench broke Yogi Berra's record for home runs by a catcher as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Montreal Expos 12-7. Bench hit his 314th homer as a catcher off David Palmer. Bench had thirty-three home runs while playing other positions.

1985 - During the first day of the All-Star break before the Midsummer Classic to be played in Minneapolis, the Players’ Association sets an August 6 strike date. The union will keep their word, but the season will resume two days later.

1985 - At the Metrodome in Minnesota, a new tradition is started the day before the All-Star game as an official format is used for its Home Run Derby. Although these types of hitting exhibitions have occurred in the past, it is the first time the contest is acknowledged by Major League Baseball.

1986 - The 1986 All-Star Game, a 3-2 American League victory played in the Astrodome, is the last contest Dick Howser will manage in the major leagues. The Royals skipper, who has some some obvious mental lapses during the game, admits he felt ill and later will be diagnosed with a brain tumor.

1988 - For the second time this season, Red Sox fireballer Roger Clemens strikes out sixteen Royals. The doubleheader sweep over Kansas City marks Joe Morgan's Boston managerial debut.

1990 - Chicago's Bobby Thigpen became quickest to reach thirty saves in a season as the White Sox beat New York 8-5.

1993 - Cal Ripken, Jr. hits his 278th homer as a shortstop breaking Ernie Banks record for the most ever hit by a major leaguer playing that position. Both Hall of Famers will play different infield positions during their careers with 'Mr. Cub' going deep a total of 512 times for Chicago and the 'Iron Man' clearing the fences on 431 occasions for the Orioles.

1994 - After being confiscated in the first inning of the Indians-White Sox contest at Comiskey Park, Albert Belle's bat, suspected of being corked, is placed in umpire Dave Phillips' locker for further examination. The attempt to take and replace the suspected bat by a bungling burglar, who gains access to the umpire's room by squirming through the stadium's overhead crawl space, a thievery Jason Grimsley will confess to five-years later, is immediately uncovered with the discovery of pieces of broken ceiling tile on the floor, and a new name on the 'clean' bat which now reads, Paul Sorrento.


1996 - After making 2,216consecutive starts at shortstop, Oriole Cal Ripken returns to third base for the first time since June 30, 1982. The 2,216 straight starts is a major league record at any position.

1997 - The San Francisco Giants scored thirteen runs to set a modern National League record for runs in a seventh inning en route to a 16-2 rout of the San Diego Padres. The Giants set the National League record for the most runs in a seventh inning since 1900.

1999 - After 22 1/2 years in the dreary Kingdome, Seattle finally played a home game outdoors, moving into a $517.6 million ballpark with a retractable roof. Jose Mesa wasted a ninth-inning lead by walking four batters and the Mariners lost 3-2 to the San Diego Padres in Safeco Field's opener.

1999 - The Brewers postpone their game against Kansas City as a gesture of respect for the three workers who died when a huge crane collapsed lifting a portion of the roof for the team's new stadium, Miller Park. The crane broke in half as it lifted the 400-ton load damaging the partially completed stadium.

1999 - At the Oakland Coliseum in the fifth inning of an 11-9 win over San Francisco, A's hurler Brad Rigby puts Barry Bonds on first base with a free pass giving the Giants left fielder the major league record for intentional walks with 294. The previous mark was set by Hank Aaron.

2000 - The American Tobacco Company's near-mint condition 1909 Honus Wagner card goes for $1.1 million in an eBay online auction. The high bidder will pay $1.265 million including a 15 percent buyer's premium for the 91-year old card of the Hall of Fame Pirate shortstop.

2003 - At the All-Star game played in Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field, Angels outfielder Garret Anderson goes 3-for-4 including a two-run homer and a double helping the American League to beat the NL, 7-6. Pinch-hitting in the eighth inning, Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock hits a go-ahead two-run homer off the usually untouchable reliever of the Dodgers, Eric Gagne.


2004 - Eric Gagne surpasses Jeff Shaw for the most career saves in franchise history collecting his 130th save in a Dodger uniform. The 28-year old right-handed closer pitches a perfect ninth, striking out the side, in the team’s 5–2 victory over Arizona at Bank One Ballpark.

2005 - With an RBI double off Joel Pineiro at Safeco Field, Rafael Palmeiro becomes the 26th player to collect 3000 hits. The Orioles first baseman joins Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Eddie Murray as one of only four major leaguers to record 3,000 hits and 500 home runs during his career.

2005 - The Royals establish the longest losing streak by any big league franchise to play in Kansas City. Their 16th consecutive loss, a 11-3 decision to the Mariners, is one more than the 1884 Unions, the first team play professionally in the City of Fountains.

2005 - At Miller Park, Mike Stanton's first appearance in a Washington Nationals' uniform is a memorable one as the southpaw balks home the winning run. Chris Magruder scores from third base in the bottom of the tenth giving the Brewers a 4-3 victory thanks to the call made by Paul Schrieber, the first base umpire.

2006 - Vladimir Guerrero knocks in his 1000th career RBI plating Orlando Cabrera with a two-out single in the first inning as Los Angeles beats the Devil Rays at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, 9-2. The 30-year old Dominican outfielder becomes the seventh-fastest player ever to reach the milestone.

2007 - In front of a sellout crowd of 44,872 at Citizens Bank Park, the 125-year old Phillies become the first team to lose 10,000 games as they are defeated by the Cardinals, 10-2. During the ninth inning, the hometown fans cheer as the much heralded milestone becomes a reality.

2007 - Chone Figgins steals his 187th base in an Angel uniform to break the franchise record. The previous mark was set in 1987 by Gary Pettis, who is in the ballpark as a coach for the visiting Rangers.

2008 - In the longest amount in time needed to complete an All-Star game, Rangers shortstop Michael Young's sac fly plates Justin Morneau of the Twins to end the 4 hour and 50 minute marathon. The record tying 15-inning contest gives the American League its 11th consecutive victory as the Junior Circuit beats the National League, 4-3.

2008 - Dan Uggla becomes the first player in the history of the All-Star game to make three errors. The Marlins second baseman, who has two miscues in the 10th and one in the 13th in the American League 4-3, 15-inning victory at Yankee Stadium, doesn’t fare much better at the plate going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and grounding into a double play with runners on first and third in the 10th inning.

2008 - Lou Gehrig‘s wool warm-up jacket, given to Marion and Ray Parker in 1941, friends of the Yankee first baseman and his wife Eleanor, is won with a $325,000 bid at the Hunt Auctions site at the All-Star Fan Fest at the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The heavy team jacket, most likely, is the one he wore to bring out the Yankee lineup card at Detroit's Briggs Stadium in 1939, on the day his streak of 2,130 consecutive games ended.

2009 - The Phillies and Pedro Martinez finalize a one-year deal, reportedly worth $1 million. The three-time Cy Young winner, who was immediately placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a shoulder strain, has compiled a 214-99 record during his 17 seasons in the big leagues.

2011 - Atlanta earned the 10,000th win in franchise history with a 11-1 rout of Washington.  Tim Hudson gave up one run and seven hits in seven innings and had two hits for the Braves, who played in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

2013 - NL manager Bruce Bochy names Matt Harvey as the National League's starter. The 24 year-old rookie right-hander, who becomes the first Mets pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Dwight Gooden got the nod in 1988, will be the sixth hurler to start the Mid-Summer Classic in his home ballpark when he faces the American League lineup tomorrow at Citi Field.

2014 - A baseball glove (c. 1935) worn and autographed by Lou Gehrig goes for a bid of $287,500 at an auction held in conjunction with the MLB All-Star FanFest in Minneapolis. Other items sold by Hunt Auctions at the event include Roy Campanella's Hall of Fame induction ring ($86,250), a Jackie Robinson bat ($80,500), and Harmon Killebrew’s 1958 Senators home jersey ($40,250)

This Date In White Sox History - July 15th


 


July 15, 1994 – “Batgate” comes to Comiskey Park. In the first inning of the game between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago White Sox, White Sox manager Gene Lamont was tipped off that Indians batter Albert Belle was using a corked baseball bat. Under the rules of Major League Baseball, a manager may challenge one opponent's baseball bat per game. Lamont challenged Belle's bat with umpire Dave Phillips, who confiscated the bat and locked it in the umpires' dressing room.  Belle was allowed to continue on playing in the game using another bat where he went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts in the Indians 3 -2 win.  The Indians knew that Belle's bat was corked. So in order to try to keep Belle from being suspended, teammate Jason Grimsley crawled through the air ducts and dropped into the umpire’s room where the bat was being held for examination. Grimsley replaced Belle’s bat with a Paul Sorrento model which tipped off everyone to the switch. Belle wound up getting suspended for ten games.

1902 - At Cincinnati’s Palace of the Fans, John McGraw begins his 30-year tenure as manager of the New York Giants. ‘Little Napoleon’, the team’s third skipper of the season, loses his debut to the Reds, 7-2.

1909 - Ed Summers of the Detroit Tigers pitched all eighteen innings of a 0-0 tie with the Washington Senators, the longest scoreless game in American League history.

1913 - In a game against the Cubs, Superbas' second baseman George Cutshaw handles 14 chances without an error. The infielder's defensive prowess helps Brooklyn beat Chicago at Ebbets Field, 4-2.

Eddie Sawyer‚ with no ML experience as player or manager‚ will get the job after Cooke goes 8-6. But the big news is from New York. The Giants remove Mel Ott and replace him with Leo Durocher‚ who obtains his release from Brooklyn. The Dodgers bring back mild-mannered Burt Shotton who replaced Durocher once before. In a newspaper poll over the winter‚ an overwhelming majority voted for the gentlemanly Shotton to replace The Lip. The changes today portend those at the end of the season: Bucky Harris of the Yankees‚ Ted Lyons of the White Sox‚ and Steve O'Neill of the Tigers will be released.

Minor league baseball towns are being wrecked, he claims. "We have got to be able to handle this problem or within 10 years there will be no television problem because there will be no baseball." When asked about the possibility of the Washington franchise shifting cities, Frick replies, "Removal of the club from Washington would be catastrophic. Baseball cannot afford not to be in Washington."

1966 - Horace Clarke hits his second career home run, a tenth inning grand slam, giving the Yankees an eventual 9-5 win over the A's at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. The New York shortstop's first-ever round-tripper was also hit with the bases full last season.

2005 - In an effort to bolster their injured pitching rotation, the Yankees acquired recently released Al Leiter from the Marlins. The 39-year old $8-million southpaw, who posted a disappointing 3-7 record and a 6.64 ERA with the Fish, will quickly pay dividends limiting the Red Sox to one run and three hits in his first start back as a Bronx Bomber.

George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television": "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits".
