July 16, 1920 - In the first of two games at Griffith Stadium in D.C.‚ Red Faber and the White Sox top Washington‚ 4-1‚ handing Walter Johnson his 10th loss of the season . The Washington ace‚ suffering from a sore arm‚ will not pitch any more this season‚ and will appear only as a pinch hitter in a few September games. Faber allows five hits and stops Sam Rice's hitting streak at 28 games. Eddie Cicotte picks up a save in the 2nd game  with a 4-pitch 9th inning after Joe Jackson hits a grand slam in the top of the 9th to give the White Sox a 8- 5 lead.

This Date In White Sox History - July 16th





July 16, 1990 - One of the funniest moments in White Sox history, as White Sox utility player Steve “Psycho” Lyons makes a mistake that winds up on every highlight show in the nation. In the 5th inning at Detroit, Lyons bunts his way on, sliding head first the final few feet to beat the throw. He then calls time and completely blanks out as he starts to drop his pants to get the dirt out of them. Fortunately he was wearing sliding shorts. When he realized what he was doing he quickly yanked his pants back up while turning beet red in the process. After he was forced at second and ran back to the dugout, female fans in the first few rows behind the White Sox bench began waving dollar bills at him.

1890 -For the first time in baseball history, two 300-game winners are opponents as Tim Keefe of the Giants faces Pittsburgh's Jim 'Pud' Galvin in a Players League match-up. New York beats the Burghers, 8-2, in the first of four historic confrontations between the two future member of the Hall of Fame.

1903 - Rube Waddell is arrested for assaulting a fan who had criticized his pitching. Connie Mack bails him out of jail. The A's win today‚ 4-1‚ over the visiting Browns.

1908- It is Honus Wagner Day in Pittsburgh‚ as players from both teams line up to pay homage. Wagner's tribute was originally scheduled for the 16th‚ but Honus asked that it be moved a day so it would not conflict with the annual benefit picnic for orphans. Wagner is presented with a $700 gold watch. Pittsburgh beats Boston‚ 4-0 to cut the Giants lead to a half game over the Bucs.

1912 - At the Ostermalm Athletics Grounds, Sweden's Vesteras Baseball Club plays an exhibition game at the Summer Olympics against an American team. The squad from the United States, who unsurprisingly wins the contest 13-3, consists of athletes who are in Stockholm competing for gold medals in other sports.

1914 - At Forbes Field, Rube Marquard and Babe Adams each go a marathon 21 innings before Larry Doyle’s 2-run HR gives the Giants a 3–1 win over the Pirates. Adams yields no walks and 12 hits, the longest non-walk game in ML history. Marquard walks 2 (one intentional) and yields 15 hits. In the 6th, Honus Wagner goes from first to 3B on a hit by Jim Viox. When New York CF Bob Bescher throws to 3B Milt Stock, the ball bounces out of his hands and disappears. Wagner scores before it's discovered that the ball bounced up under his arm and stayed there as he ran home. Wagner is called out for interference, and the Bucs protest. Manager Fred Clarke is then ejected by umpire Bill "Lord" Byron. Legend provides a fitting ending to this unusual game as Giants OF Red Murray is knocked unconscious by a bolt of lightning after catching a fly ball for the final out. Murray is uninjured. This is an expanded tale based on Murray’s catch in an August 1909 game. Marquard's win is his last in 1914. He will lose 10 straight on his way to a 12–22 record.

1957 -  In front of a House Judiciary subcommittee, team owner Arnold Johnson, contrary to the truth, denies he has favored the Yankees when trading players from the A's to the Bronx. The Congress is skeptical due to a number of recent suspicious deals between New York and Kansas City clubs.

1993 - In a Northwest League contest, Jason Thompson's error with two outs in the ninth inning spoils Glenn Dishman's bid for a perfect game against the Yakima Bears. On a routine ground ball, the Spokane first baseman, anxious to begin the celebration of his teammate's accomplishment, pulls his foot off the bag before the final out is recorded.

1993 - Southpaw Frank Tanana becomes the second of only two pitchers, along with Rick Reuschel, to give up a home run to both Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds when the Giants' left fielder takes him deep for the lone run he gives up in the Mets' 3-1 victory at Candlestick Park.

2008 - The Phillies trade minor league prospects Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman and Matthew Spencer to Oakland for right-hander Joe Blanton. The A's Opening Day starter, who is currently 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA, is expected to deepen Philadelphia’s rotation.

This Date In White Sox History - July 17th







July 17, 1951 - The White Sox beat the Yankees, 4-3, to move a half game behind the league-leading Red Sox. But they discover that starting catcher Gus Niarhos has an arm fracture, sustained in yesterday’s marathon game. The Sox call up former Negro Leaguer Sam Hairston as a catching replacement. Hairston is credited as the first African-American signed by the Chicago White Sox. While Sam will go on to play in only 4 games as a major leaguer, his career as a player, scout and coach spanned 53 years, 47 of them with the White Sox. Hairston's two sons, John and Jerry, will go on to play in the Majors and two of his grandsons, Scott and Jerry Hairston, Jr., will play in the Majors too.  They are one of only 3 three-generation families that have played in the majors and the five Hairstons that have played in the majors set a record for most family members to play in the Majors.

On July 18 in Baseball History...


1882 - Ambidextrous pitcher Tony Mullane of Louisville pitched with both hands in a Major League game at Baltimore. Normally a right-hander, Mullane switched to the left hand in the fourth inning. He eventually lost 9-8.

1912 - The Chicago Cubs had twenty-one hits in eleven innings but still lost to the Philadelphia Phillies when Gavvy Cravath stole home.

1921 - At Navin Field in Detroit, Babe Ruth becomes the all-time home run leader when he hits his 139th carrer blast as a major leaguer. The Yankees’ slugger’s 36th homer of the season, a mammoth shot that travels over 500 feet, puts him ahead of Roger Connor, who connected for 138 round-trippers during his 18 years in the National League.

1927 - Ty Cobb becomes the first major leaguer to collect 4,000 career hits. The 40-year old A's outfielder reaches the milestone with a double in Philadelphia's 5-3 loss to the Tigers at Shibe Park.

1939 - The Dodgers acquire infielder Pee Wee Reese from the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later (Red Evans), three minor leaguers and $35000. The 21-year old farmhand, a future Hall of Famer, will become a crowd favorite helping Brooklyn to win seven pennants during his 16 seasons with the team.

1947 - At Briggs Stadium, Fred Hutchinson blanks the Yankees, 8-0. Detroit's victory stops New York's American League record-tying winning streak at 19 games.

1948 - Pat Seerey of the Chicago White Sox hit four home runs in a 12-11, eleven-inning victory over the Philadelphia A's in the opener of a doubleheader.


1948 - After the first two Cubs get on base in the bottom of the ninth inning at Wrigley Field, Phillies rookie right-hander Robin Roberts appears to pitch out of trouble by getting the next two batters out. The 21-year old hurler and future Hall of Famer, however, proceeds to hit the next two consecutive batters with a pitch, Phil Cavarretta and Andy Pafko, giving Chicago a 3-2 walk-off victory.

1952 - Trailing 11-0 after three innings against Sal Maglie at the Polo Grounds, the Cardinals pull off a major comeback defeating the Giants, 14-12. The rally equals the largest come-from-behind win in National League history.

1954 - In the fifth inning at Sportsman's Park, Babe Pinelli forfeits the second game of the twin bill to the visiting Phillies. The umpire makes the rare call when the Cardinals, trailing 8-1 in the not-yet -official game and darkness approaching, delay the game by bringing in three new pitchers during the inning.

1961 - At Busch Stadium, Bill White ties Ty Cobb's 49-year old record by collecting 14 hits in consecutive doubleheaders as the Cardinal first baseman goes three for four in both games of a doubleheader sweep over the Cubs. The future NL president started the streak on the day Cobb died when he went 8-for-10 in yesterday's twin bill, also played against Chicago, but at Wrigley Field.

1962 - For the first time in major league history, teammates hit grand slams in the same inning when Bob Allison and Harmon Killebrew both go deep with the bases full in the first frame at Metropolitan Stadium. The remarkable round-trippers contribute to the 11-run inning, a team record, in the 14-3 rout of the Indians.

1970 - In his 2,639th major league game, Giants outfielder Willie Mays singles off of Expos right-hander Mike Wegener for his 3000th hit. The 'Say Hey Kid' reaches the milestone in the second inning of San Francisco's 10-1 rout of Montreal at Candlestick Park.

1972 - Denny Doyle's RBI single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning spoils San Diego starter Steve Arlin's bid for a no-hitter. The Philadelphia second baseman advances to second on a balk by the right-hander scoring on Tim Hutton's single, but the 26-year old gets Greg Luzinski to fly out to center, preserving the Padres' 5-1 victory at Jack Murphy Stadium.

1980 - The Mets play their 3,000th game in franchise history dropping an 8-3 decision in the night cap of a twin bill sweep by Cincinnati at Riverfront Stadium. The Amazins have compiled a 1300 -1694 (.434) along with six ties since playing their first game in 1962.

1983 - The first-place Phillies, with an unimpressive 43-42 record, fire manager Pat Corrales and replaced him with the team's general manager, Paul Owens. The 'Pope' will lead the 'Wheeze Kids' to the National League pennant.

1986 - The Royals announce manager Dick Howser, who led the team to the World Championship last season, will miss the rest of the campaign to undergo treatment for a brain tumor. The Kansas City skipper, who will attempt a comeback during spring training, will lose his courageous battle against cancer in June.

1987 - With a home run in his eighth consecutive game, Don Mattingly ties Dale Long’s 1956 major-league record. Ken Griffey Jr. will equal the mark in 1993 with the Mariners.

1988 - In 2 1/3 innings, Mariners hurler Gene Walter balks four times in a 12-3 loss to Detroit. The southpaw becomes the third American League pitcher to tie the major league record this season.

1990 - The Red Sox and Twins establish an American League record when the teams turn ten double plays at Fenway Park. Minnesota, after completing two triple plays in yesterday's contest, completes six of the double killings in their 5-4 loss to Boston.

1994 - Trailing 11-0 after the first three innings, the Astros pull off a major comeback to defeat the Cardinals. Houston's 11-run frame in the sixth inning puts the team ahead for good in the 15-12 victory at the Astrodome.

1994 - After four ceiling tiles drop nearly 180 feet into the stands behind home plate, officials close the Kingdome in Seattle. Due to the mishap, the Mariners embark on a 22-day road trip which will be cut short by the players’ strike.

1995 - Lee Smith becomes third hurler in major league history to give up two game-ending grand slams in the same season when Albert Belle goes yard giving the Indians a dramatic 7-5 victory over the Angels at Jacobs Field. At the end of last month, the 37-year old closer yielded a walk-off four-run round-tripper to A's slugger Mark McGwire.

1998 - With two outs, the Red Sox hit four homers in the fourth inning to become the first American League team to accomplish this feat with two down. Donnie Sadler, Darren Lewis, Nomar Garciaparra and Mo Vaughn all go deep for Boston in the 9-4 victory over the Tigers.

1998 - The late Ted Kluszewski, a four-time All-Star and a member of the Reds Hall of Fame since 1962, has his #18 retired by the club. The left-handed slugger's nine-foot replica jersey, unlike the other others on the Cinergy Field wall, is depicted sleeveless because the first baseman would need to cut off the sleeves to make his massive upper arms fit into tight flannel shirts the team wore.

1999 - On Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium, David Cone becomes the 16th pitcher in major league history and the third Yankee to toss a perfect game when he beats the Expos, 6-0. In pre-game ceremonies Don Larsen threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Yogi commemorating his 1956 World Series perfect game.


2000 - Hitting four doubles in a game, which has only occurred 37 times in the last century, is accomplished twice today. In a 12-4 drubbing of the Cubs, Royals lead-off hitter Johnny Damon accomplishes the rare feat as does Shannon Stewart of the Blue Jays in an 11-7 loss to the Mets at the Skydome.

2000 - Johnny Damon collects a career-high five hits in Kansas City's 12-4 rout of the Cubs. The Royals outfielder's Kauffman Stadium performance includes four doubles, tying a major league mark.

2001 - The game between the Diamondbacks and Padres is halted at the end of the second inning after a Qualcomm Stadium transformer catches fire causing a whole section of spotlights above centerfield to explode. The game is suspended until the next day.

2001 - In response to the grievance filed by the umpires earlier in the week, the commissioner's office announces pitch counts will not be used as an evaluation technique.

2001 - Detroit’s Roger Cedeno collects four extra base hits including a double, triple, and two home runs. The outfielder's offensive output enables the Tigers to defeat the Yankees, 12-4, in Game 2 of a day-night doubleheader at Comerica Park.

2004 - The Montreal Expos traded Carl Everett to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Gary Majewski and Jon Rauch.


2006 - Calling a 1-0 pitching gem thrown by rookie southpaw Jon Lester, Jason Varitek establishes a new team record catching his 991st game with the Red Sox. The Boston captain surpasses the record previously held by Hall of Fame backstop Carlton Fisk (1969-80).

2006 - With a 14-5 victory over the Cardinals, the Braves become the first team since the 1930 Yankees to score ten or more runs in five consecutive games. During the streak, that includes two 15-run victories, Atlanta has tallied 65 runs.


2006 - After signing a one-day contract with the Kansas City T-Bones, 94-year old Buck O'Neil walks twice in the minor league's all-star game to become the oldest man ever to appear in a professional baseball game. The former Negro League star surpasses 83-year-old Jim Eriotes, who struck out playing for the Sioux Falls Canaries earlier in the month.

On July 19 in Baseball History..
.

1902 - In his New York Giants' debut as manager, John McGraw loses to the Phillies, 5-3. The fiery skipper's team will finish in last place with a record of 48-88 and 53.5 games behind the pennant winning Pirates.

1909 - During the top of the second inning inning of a 6-1 win over the Red Sox at Cleveland’s League Park, Neal Ball executes the first unassisted triple play in the post-1900 era of baseball. The Naps (Indians) shortstop catches an Ambrose McConnell line drive, steps on second to force out Heinie Wagner and then tags Jake Stahl for the third out as he comes from first base.

1909 - In the same game he pulls off the first unassisted triple killing in major league history, Neal Ball records nine putouts at shortstop, another big league first, in the Naps (Indians) 6-1 win over Boston at Cleveland’s League Park. The diminutive infielder's glove from that game will be enshrined at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

1910 - In an 11-inning contest played at American League Park, Cy Young beats the Senators 5-4 to earn his 500th career victory. The 43-year old Naps (Indians) right-hander will finish his 22-year tenure in the major leagues with 511 wins, first on the all-time list, well ahead of Walter Johnson's second place total of 417.

1911 - Former circus acrobat Walter Carlisle completes an unassisted triple-play for Vernon (LA) of the Pacific Coast League when he catches a ball in shallow center field flips and touches second base and beats the runner back to first base.

1915 - The Washington Senators steal eight bases in one inning off of Indians' catcher Steve O'Neil. The first inning thievery establishes a major league record for stolen bases in one frame.

1920 - With the first of his two homers in the nightcap of a twin bill against the White Sox at the Polo Grounds, Babe Ruth becomes the first player to hit 30 home runs in a season. The historic home run breaks his own season mark of 29 and the ‘Rajah of Rap’ will finish the season with a resounding 54 round-trippers.


1924 - Cardinals hurler Hi Bell goes the distance in both games of a Sportsman's Park doubleheader beating the Braves, 6-1 and 2-1. The 27-year old right-hander from Kentucky will be the last National League pitcher to win two complete game victories in one day.

1927 - Ty Cobb of the Philadelphia Athletics doubled for his 4,000th hit.

1933 - Rick Ferrell of the Boston Red Sox hit a home run off brother Wes, pitching for the Cleveland Indians. Wes also homered in that game, marking the only time the two connected in the same contest.

1936 - Seventeen year-old Iowa farm boy, Bob Feller, makes his major league debut pitching one inning of relief against the Senators in Washington, D.C. The hard throwing 'kid' allows no hits and no runs, striking out none and walks two batters. (Feller claims the box score is wrong - he claims to have struck out Buddy Lewis in his autobiography)

1946 - During a contest between Chicago and the Red Sox, Red Jones ejects 14 members of the White Sox for their bench jockeying initiated when the ump warns Chisox hurler Joe Haynes after Ted Williams is knock down with a pitch. It was reported for years the home plate arbitrator ire may have been raised by a ventriloquist sitting behind the visitors' dugout, but during recent interviews with the participants of game played sixty years ago, it is revealed many of them believe the incident was precipitated by third-base coach Mule Hass, who wasn't thrown out of the game but was known to be more than capable of making rude sounds and infuriating remarks.

1956 - With the Reds' 4-3 loss to the Pirates at Crosley Field, Brooks Lawrence's 13-game winning streak comes to an end. Roberto Clemente’s three-run homer in the ninth inning proves to be the decisive hit.

1960 - In his major league debut, Giants' rookie righty Juan Marichal one-hits the Phillies at Candlestick Park, 2-0. Philadelphia's lone hit is a two out eighth-inning single by pinch hitter Clay Dalrymple.

1960 - Pedro Ramos one-hits Detroit in the Senators' 5-0 victory at Briggs Stadium. The Washington right-hander's bid for a no-hitter is spoiled by Rocky Colavito's lead-off single to centerfield in the eighth inning.

1964 - In first major league debut, 23-year old Indian rookie Luis Tiant throws a complete-game, a four-hit shutout, to beat Whitey Ford and the Yankees in New York, 3-0. The popular Cuban right-hander will compile a 229-172 record (.571) pitching for six teams during his 19 years in the big leagues.

1966 - In the first major league game to be played totally on artificial turf, Houston beats Philadelphia at the Astrodome, 8-2. Prior to this contest, the outfield consisted of painted dirt with only the infield covered with the new material created by Monsanto Company dubbed Astroturf.

1966 - In his final at-bat in the major leagues, Cardinals starter Tracy Stallard grounds out to short in the Redbirds' 10-9 victory over Atlanta. During his seven-year tenure, the right-hander, best known for giving up Roger Maris's 61st home run, sets a major league record by failing to get a base-on-balls in his 247 appearances at the plate.

1969 - Washington starter Joe Coleman throws his third consecutive shutout when he blanks the Bronx Bombers, 4-0. The 22-year old right-hander, the Senators' first round pick (third overall) of the amateur draft in 1965, faces only 29 batters in his two-hit masterpiece in New York.

1972 - At Three Rivers Stadium, Luke Walker singles off Cecil Upshaw to break an 0-for-39 drought at the plate. The Pirates' southpaw pitches three innings of one-hit shutout baseball to pick up a save in the 8-3 victory over the Braves.

1974 - Dick Bosman no-hits the A’s at Cleveland Stadium. The 30-year old right-hander misses a perfect game because of his own fourth inning throwing error, which gives Oakland their lone baserunner in the Indians' 4-0 victory.

1975 - At Candlestick Park, Doug Rader, batting eighth, plays the entire game without getting an official at bat. The Cardinals walk the Giants catcher four times, three intentionally, to get to John Montefusco, the Giants starter who goes 0-for-4 at the plate, but tosses a complete game to get the win in San Francisco's 5-2 victory.

1976 - After winning the American League pennant last season, Darrell Johnson is fired by the Red Sox and is replaced by third base coach Don Zimmer. The move is made after the fifth-place club gets off to a slow start compiling a 41-45 record, 13 games behind division leading Yankees.

1977 - With a four-run first inning, the National League coasts to a 7-5 win over the AL at the newly renovated Yankee Stadium. It's the Senior Circuit's sixth straight victory, and their 14th in the last 15 games.

1982 - Tony Gwynn doubles of Phillies' southpaw Sid Monge for his first major league hit. The future Hall of Famer will enjoy a 2-for-4 day with a sacrifice fly.

1982 - In the first Old-timer's All-Star Classic, played at Washington's RFK Stadium before 29,000 fans, the American League won 7-2. Luke Appling, 75, led off for the American League and hit a home run over the shortened left-field fence off Warren Spahn.

1989 - Joe Carter blasts three homers in the Indians' 10-1 rout of Minnesota. It's the second time this season and the fourth three-home run game of the Cleveland outfielder's career, tying Lou Gehrig for the American League record.

1993 - The game against the Cardinals is delayed for an hour after a fire breaks out in the skybox/press box area of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Recently acquired Fred McGriff pinch-hits a homer enabling the Braves to rally from a 5-0 deficit to win 7-5 and appears to ignite the beginning of the team's historic comeback from a 9 1/2 games deficit to win the National League West Division

1994 - The Kingdome, home of the Seattle Mariners, was closed after four ceiling tiles fell nearly 180 feet into the stands behind home plate. The Mariners were forced into a 22-day road trip before the season was cut short by the players' strike.

1995 - The Devil Rays name Chuck LaMar as the franchise's first general manager. Under leadership of the former Braves assistant GM, the expansion team will compile 518–777 (.400) record during the first eight years of its existence.

1998 - Carlos Delgado becomes the first player to reach the SkyDome's fifth deck with his Ruthian home run to right field. The massive blast snaps the Blue Jays first baseman's 0-for-29 slump.

1999 - In a 7-6 inter-league victory over Cincinnati, Jeff Weaver becomes the first Tigers pitcher to hit a double in 27 years. The last Detroit hurler to accomplish the feat was Chuck Seelbach. who banged a two-bagger off Lloyd Allen of the Angels on August 20, 1972.

2001 - Fanning 16 batters, Randy Johnson sets a major league record for strikeouts by a reliever. The 'Big Unit' completes a suspended game with San Diego which the Diamondbacks win, 3-0.

2004 - In Pacific Coast League action at Portland's PGE Park, minor leaguer Tagg Bozied hits a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Tacoma Rainiers, 8-5. Upon his arrival at home plate, the Beavers' first baseman, jumping for joy, ruptures the patella tendon to his left knee and needs taken to Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital by ambulance.

2005 - Winning its second consecutive 1-0 contest, the Red Sox limits the Kansas City offense to four hits. The last time two straight 1-0 games occurred Fenway Park was in 1916.

2006 - The Los Angeles Dodgers traded Justin Ruggiano to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays completing trade in which  the Tampa Bay Devil Rays traded Toby Hall, Mark Hendrickson and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Dioner Navarro, Jae Weong Seo and a player to be named later (June 27, 2006).

2006 - The New York Mets traded Jeff Keppinger to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Ruben
Gotay.

2009 - Ian Kinsler becomes the fifth major leaguer in baseball history to hit both a leadoff and walkoff home run for his team in the same game. The Rangers' second baseman led off the bottom of the first inning with a round-tripper off Francisco Liriano, and then ended the contest in the bottom of the 12th with a game-ending two-run blast off R.A. Dickey to give Texas a 6-4 victory over Minnesota.


2011 - The Houston Astros traded Jeff Keppinger to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Henry Sosa and Jason Stoffel.

2013 - The Boston Red Sox signed Jose Contreras as a free agent.

2013 - A surprise sixth contender participates in the Presidents Race when Sharknado, a character from the SyFy original movie about sharks being brought on land by a waterspout, ambushes George, Tom, Teddy, and Bill in the Nationals Park dash.

2013 - Houston’s Brandon Barnes, who goes 5-for-5, scores three times,and drives in two runs in the Astros’ 10-7 loss to Seattle at Minute Maid Park collects the eighth cycle in franchise history.

This Date In White Sox History - July 19th





July 19, 1970 - Luis Aparicio Day is staged at Comiskey Park. The future Hall Of Famer is praised for his many years of service in a pre game ceremony. With the Sox in the middle of the worst season in franchise history, only 18,587 show up on a rainy day for the double header with Baltimore. Looie would go 4 for 9 on the day as the Sox split the twin bill.

On July 20 in Baseball History...


1906 - At St. Louis, Brooklyn hurler Mal Eason no-hits against the Cardinals, 2-0. The 'Kid' was the losing pitcher when Johnny Lush pitched a no-hitter against the Superbas (Dodgers) in May.

1925 - Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance struck out seventeen as the Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in 10 innings.

1926 - A's outfielder Al Simmons establishes an American League record by playing in 394 consecutive games to start a career. Hideki Matsui, who will start in 518 consecutive games after signing as a Japanese free agent with the Yankees, will surpass the Hall of Famer's mark in 2005.

1933 - Babe Herman hit three home runs, including a grand slam, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 10-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field.

1944 - Browns' hurler Nels Potter is banned for ten days becoming the first pitcher ever to be suspended for throwing a spitball.

1949 - Larry Doby is thrown out trying to steal home with no outs with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning in a 7-3 loss to the Yankees at Cleveland Stadium. Tribe manager Lou Boudreau will fine his center fielder for the failed attempt to steal home and for taking several other unnecessary chances recently.

1951 - In a game against the Reds with all-star hurler Ewell Blackwell on the mound, the Giants, for the first time, employ their infamous scheme for stealing catcher's signs using a telescope positioned in the centerfield clubhouse. The 'Jints' beat Cincinnati, 11-6, and New York will win 22 of the remaining 27 games at the Polo Grounds overtaking the Dodgers to win National League pennant. .

1958 - During the first game of a doubleheader, Tiger right-hander Jim Bunning no-hits the Red Sox, 3-0. The future Hall of Famer and U.S. Senator will become the first modern pitcher to toss a hitless game in both leagues when he throws a perfect against the Mets in 1964.

1965 - Yankees' pitcher Mel Stottlemyre hits an inside the park grand slam against the Red Sox en route to a 6-3 victory.

1969 - At Connie Mack Stadium during the top of the third inning of the nightcap against the Cubs, play is halted with the two teams moving silently to their respective baselines to look skyward as the Phillies' crowd is informed word has been sent from Neil Armstrong to mission control in Houston that the Eagle had landed on the moon. The game will resume after a recording of Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America" is played and a prayer is said for the astronauts over the loudspeaker.

1970 - Twenty-six year old right-hander Bill Singer pitches the first Dodger no-hitter since Sandy Koufax's departure when he keeps the Philadelphia batters hitless in a 5-0 victory at Chavez Ravine.

1973 - White Sox pitcher Wilbur Wood loses both ends of a doubleheader to the Yankees.


1974 - Trailing the A's, 9-8, in the bottom of the ninth, the Indians get runners to second and third with nobody out.

1976 - Hank Aaron hit his last big league homer off Angels' hurler Dick Drago en route to a 6-2 Brewers' win. The round tripper is 'Hammerin' Hank's' 755th and establishes the all-time major league record for career home runs.

1976 - In his 13th start of the season, Tiger rookie Mark Fidrych throws his 12th complete game, a streak that includes three 11-inning contests. The 21-year old right-hander gives up 10 hits defeating Minnesota at Metropolitan Stadium, 8-3.

1984 - Toronto establishes a team record for runs scored in an inning when eleven players cross the plate at the Kingdome in the ninth inning. The Blue Jays' barrage in the final frame leads to an eventual 12-7 victory over Seattle.


1987 - Yankees' first baseman Don Mattingly ties a major league mark as he is credited with 22 putouts in one game matching Hal Chase's feat of 1906.

2004 - At Wrigley Field, Albert Pujols goes 5-for-5, including three home runs and five RBIs, as the Cardinals beat Central Division rivals Cubs, 11-8. The Redbird first baseman's first three-homer career game helps St. Louis to erase a six run deficit.

2006 - In a 26 inning New York-Penn League game which takes 6 hours, 40 minutes to complete at KeySpan Park in Coney Island, the Oneonta Tigers outlast the hometown Brooklyn Cyclones, 6-1. Mark Wright a reserve flychaser is the losing pitcher in the third longest game by innings in professional baseball history.

2006 - Trying keep their 14 straight post-season appearances streak intact, the Braves trade Class A catcher Max Ramirez to the Indians for Bob Wickman. Atlanta, winning 12 of 16 to get back into the wild-card race, is hoping the veteran 37-year old closer can help solve the team's late inning woes which includes the bullpen blowing half of this season's 40 save opportunities.

2006 - The Chicago White Sox released Cliff Politte.


2008 - With a five-run ninth inning rally at Chase Field, the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5, and move into a flat-footed tie (48-50) with Arizona for first place in National League West. Andre Ethier has the key hit in the comeback victory, a go-ahead triple off the center-field wall, as D-Back closer Brandon Lyon, pitching in his third consecutive game, couldn’t hold three-run lead.

2008 - Surpassing John Smoltz’s effort for the 2003 Braves by ten games, Francisco Rodriguez becomes the quickest reliever ever to reach 40 saves.

2008 - The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Pablo Ozuna as a free agent.

2009 - With an 8-5 victory over Milwaukee at PNC Park, the Pirates snap their 17-game losing streak against the Brewers, the longest skid against a single opponent in 39 years. During the 1969-70 seasons, the Royals dropped 23 decisions to the Orioles to establish the major league mark.

2009 - After trailing 12-2, Oakland comes back to beat the Twins, 14-13, making it the first time the A's have come back from a ten-run deficit since being down by twelve runs in 1925 when the team, then known as Philadelphia Athletics, beat the Indians, 17-15. The 3 hours, 32 minutes slugfest ends with Michael Cuddyer being called out at home plate on a very controversial call after trying to score on a wild pitch.

2011 - Leading off the sixth inning in Oakland's 7-5 victory in Detroit, Hideki Matsui hits his 500th career home run. The Japanese native went yard 332 times for the Yomiuri Giants before collecting another 168 round-trippers since 2003 playing with the Yankees, Angels and A's.

2011 - The Kansas City Royals traded Wilson Betemit to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Antonio Cruz and Julio Rodriguez.

2011 - The Philadelphia Phillies released Jason Grilli.

2012 - The Arizona Diamondbacks released Geoff Blum.

2012 - The Atlanta Braves released Adam Russell.

2012 - After trailing the Nationals by nine runs after five innings of play, the Braves take the lead, 10-9, when the team plates two runs in the top of ninth. Washington will knot the score in the bottom the frame on Danny Espinosa’s home run, but Atlanta will complete its amazing comeback with an unanswered run in the eleventh inning.

2013 - At Miller Park in a game against Miami, the Brewers wear throwback jerseys to honor the Milwaukee Bears, a Negro League team that played in Brew Town during the 1923 season. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke has a wardrobe malfunction when the letter u on his uniform is misplaced, spelling out Milwakuee.

2015 - Baltimore signs Xu Guiyan, who becomes the first player who is Chinese by birth and ancestry to ink a contract to play in the United States. ‘Itchy’, a nickname that was given to the 19 year-old outfielder/first baseman at the MLB China Development Center in Wuxi, Jiangsu, will be evaluated by the Orioles scouts in the spring, before being assigned to a minor league affiliate.

2016 - The Chicago White Sox sold Scott Carroll to the Texas Rangers.

On July 21 in Baseball History...


1892 - In a match up of 300 game winners at Philadelphia Baseball Grounds, Phillies’ submariner Tim Keefe sinks Jim "Pud" Galvin and the Browns, 2-0. The next time two National League pitchers with 300 or more victories will face each other will occur in 2005 when Greg Maddux of the Cubs beats Astros ace Roger Clemens at Minute Maid Park, 3-2.

1921 - The Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees combined for an American League record sixteen doubles as the Indians won 17-8. Cleveland had nine doubles and New York seven.

1930 - George Puccinelli and Jim Bottomley of the Cardinals and Dodgers Hal Lee and Harvey Henrick all homer appearing as pinch-hitters in one game.

1945 - At Philadelphia's Shibe Park, the A’s and Tigers play the second longest game in major league history. After 4 hours and 48 minutes, the 24 inning contest ends in a 1-1 tie with Les Mueller pitching 19 2/3 innings for Detroit.

1946 - Lew Flick sets a professional baseball record when he collects nine consecutive hits in a single game, before grounding out in his final at-bat in the 19-inning opener against Memphis. The Little Rock Travelers outfielder will get three more hits off the Chicks' pitching staff in the nightcap, finishing the day 12-for-13 in the Southern Association (AA) doubleheader.

1947 - Frankie Frisch (.316) becomes the first switch-hitter inducted into the Hall of Fame. The 'Fordham Flash' is joined by Carl Hubbell, Mickey Cochrane, and Lefty Grove as the newest members to be enshrined at Cooperstown.

1956 - In a 13-6 defeat to the Cubs, Dodgers' shortstop Pee Wee Reese becomes one of five active players to collect 2000 hits and teammate Junior Gilliam sets a major league record by handling 12 assists at second base.

1956 - Brooks Lawrence of the Cincinnati Reds had his 13-game winning streak broken as Roberto Clemente's three-run homer led the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-3 victory.

1959 - Under intense public pressure and the Massachusetts Committee Against Discrimination investigation, the Red Sox become the last club to integrate. Fourteen years after Boston passes on Jackie Robinson despite a successful tryout in 1945, Elijah 'Pumpsie' Green pinch runs and plays shortstop to become the first black to play for the team.

1961 - With back-to-back homers in the top of the first at Fenway Park, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris continue their assault on Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record. The game’s decisive hit, however, is a pinch-hit grand slam by Johnny Blanchard with two-out in the ninth-inning which propels the Bronx Bombers past the Red Sox‚ 11-8.

1962 - Craig Anderson throws a seven-hit, complete-game against Cincinnati, but New York cannot overcome Marv Throneberry's error which would have ended the fifth inning, giving Vada Pinson the opportunity to hit a two-out, two run homer. The eventual 5-3 defeat at Crosley Field makes the right-hander the third consecutive Mets' starter, following losing efforts by Jay Hook and Roger Craig, to pitch a complete game and not get a victory.

1963 - The usually mild-mannered Dodger manager Walter Alston is thrown out of both games of a doubleheader when the Braves sweep a twin bill from Los Angeles for the first and only time in Milwaukee, 7-2 and 13-7. To make matters worse, the manager has beer thrown in his face by a hometown fan as he leaves the second game. 

1963 - Pirates outfielder Jerry Lynch pinch-hits a three-run home run off Chicago's Lindy McDaniel in the ninth- inning to tie the Forbes Field contest at five, a game the Bucs will evenually win in 14 innings, 6-5. The heroic homer is the left-handed hitter's 14th career round-tripper off the bench, tying a major league mark established by former Cincinnati teammate, George Crowe.

1964 - Despite the four errors made by the Phillies, Rick Wise wins the first of his 188 major league victories when Philadelphia beats the Mets at Shea Stadium in the nightcap of a twin bill, 8-2. The 18-year old rookie right-hander's accomplishment will be overlooked when his effort follows Jim Bunning's perfect game in the opener.

1970 - San Diego's Clay Kirby held the New York Mets hitless for eight innings but was lifted for a pinch hitter by manager Preston Gomez. With the Padres trailing 1-0 with two out in the eighth, Gomez elected to go for the win instead of letting Kirby finish the game. The Padres lost the no-hitter and the game, 3-0.

1973 - Hank Aaron of Atlanta hit his 700th home run in the third inning of an 8-4 Braves loss to Philadelphia. Aaron connected on a 1-1 fastball off Phillies pitcher Ken Brett.

1975 - Mets' infielder Joe Torre becomes the first player in National League history to hit into four straight double plays in one game. Felix Millan singles in four consecutive at bats against the Astros making the dubious mark possible.

1982 - The Reds, 24 games below .500, fire manager John McNamara and replace him with third base coach, Russ Nixon. Cincinnati will only win 27 games of the 70 they play for their new manager, who will replace at the end of next season after another last place finish.

1988 - The Red Sox suspend Jim Rice for three days for shoving manager Joe Morgan. The Boston outfielder became upset when the skipper pinch hit for him using the light-hitting shortstop Spike Owen.

1988 - The Yankees trade Jay Buhner, minor league prospect Rich Balabon, and a player to be named later (Troy Evers) to the Mariners in exchange for 33 year-old Ken Phelps. The one-sided deal will be immortalized on Seinfield by Frank Costanza, George 's dad, when he laments the Bronx Bombers' poor judgment, "How could you have traded Buhner for Ken Phelps?".

1993 - Jose Uribe walks on a 3-2 count thanks to home umpire Harry Wendelstedt losing track of the pitches. The fifth-inning base-on-ball leads to a run when the Astros shortstop scores on Steve Finley's double in Houston's 5-3 victory over the Bucs at Three Rivers Stadium.

2000 - Thanks to Harold Baines' four hits, the Orioles halt its 20-game Canadian losing streak defeating the Blue Jays, 9-5. It is Baltimore's first victory north of the border since June 13, 1998.

2003 - At Dodger Stadium, Vladimir Guerrero hit his 226th career home run breaking Andre Dawson's club record. The Expos' right fielder hits his milestone round-tripper off Odalis Perez, a 454-foot blast over left field wall.

2004 -  Mark Buehrle faces the minimum 27 batters as the White Sox rout the Indians, 14-0. Throwing just ninety piches, the 25-year old southpaw allows only two hits with both runners being erased as result of a double play.

2004 - A third piece of concrete, which apparently fell from the park's upper deck, is discovered at Wrigley Field by a club employee. Two other chunks have also fallen recently in different sections in the 90-year-old stadium prompting Mayor Richard Daley to say he would not hesitate to close sections -- or all -- of the facility to protect fans from potential harm.

2004 - Thanks to an unusual play in the outfield, David Newhan hits a rare inside-the-park homer at Fenway. Inexplicably, Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez, from left field, cuts off the relay throw from center fielder Johnny Damon allowing two Orioles to score in Baltimore's 10-5 victory.


2005 - Hideki Matsui plays in his 395th consecutive game to start his career breaking Al Simmons's 1926 American League record. The Japanese outfielder will also surpass Ernie Banks' NL mark of 424 en route to establishing the new major league record of 518 consecutive contests.

2006 - Going deep in the third inning, 30-year old Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez collects his 2,000th career hit and at the same time becomes the youngest player to reach the 450 home run plateau. Later in the day, Padres catcher Mike Piazza also becomes a member of the 2000 hit club with a second inning double to left at San Francisco's AT&T Park.

2006 - In the opening game of a week-end series against Chicago, George Washington wins the first Presidents Race ever held at Nationals Park. Mascots Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln will also chalk up wins in the next two days, but Teddy Roosevelt's will not, thus beginning his infamous streak over more than 500 attempts before finally crossing the finish line first on the final day of the 2012 season.

2008 - Jose Reyes' fourth-inning three-bagger in the Mets' 7-5 victory over the Reds at Great American Ball Park makes him the franchise leader in triples. The speedy shortstop's 11th three-base hit this season, his sixty-third of his career, all as a Met, puts the 25-year old infielder one ahead Mookie Wilson.

2008 - Coming out of the bullpen in the eighth, Jimmy Gobble allows ten runs in two-thirds of an inning setting a franchise record for the most runs allowed by a Royals reliever in a game. The 26-year old southpaw, who will be placed on the 15-day disabled list the next day with a stiff lower back, gives up seven hits and walks four batters facing 13 Tigers.

2008 - Diamondback left-hander Randy Johnson becomes the first major leaguer to collect 2,000 strikeouts for two different teams. The Arizona southpaw, who fanned 2,162 batters pitching for the Mariners from 1989-98, whiffs Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez to earn the distinction.

2012 - At Cooperstown's Doubleday Field, Fox analyst Tim McCarver and Toronto Sun's Bob Elliott are honored by the Hall of Fame for their longtime contributions in covering baseball. The pair, respectively, receive the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting and the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for sports writing.

2012 - The Houston Astros traded Brett Myers and cash to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Blair Walters, Matthew Heidenreich and a player to be named later; Houston Astros received Chris Devenski (August 3, 2012).


2013 - In an on-field ceremony, former first baseman Carlos Delgado becomes the 10th member inducted on the Level of Excellence, an award bestowed by the Blue Jays in recognition of individual player's accomplishments for the team. Previous recipients of the prestigious award include Dave Stieb, George Bell, Joe Carter, Cito Gaston, Tony Fernandez, Pat Gillick, Tom Cheek, Roberto Alomar, and Paul Beeston.

On July 22 in Baseball History...


1905 - Weldon Henley of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched a no-hitter, defeating the St. Louis Browns 6-0 in the first game of a doubleheader. It was the highlight of Henley's 4-11 season.

1906 - Bob Ewing pitched the Cincinnati Reds to a 10-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies without a single assist registered by his teammates.

1909 - Ty Cobb steals three bases in one inning when the first-place Tigers beat the Red Sox, 6-0. The thievery takes place at Boston's Huntington Avenue Grounds.

1913 - In a game against the Superbas (Dodgers), Slim Sallee becomes the only pitcher in Cardinal history to steal home. In the third inning, the Redbird southpaw scores the first run in St Louis's 3-1 victory over Brooklyn at Ebbets Field.

1923 - At League Park, the Indians complete a 31-game home stand in which every American League team pays a visit. After a slow start, the Tribe finishes with a 16-15 record during their month at home.

1923 - Senators legend Walter Johnson fans Stan Coveleski to become the first pitcher in major league history to strike out 3,000 batters. The milestone will not be reached again until Bob Gibson accomplishes the feat in 1974.

1926 - Cincinnati had four triples in an 11-run second inning as the Reds beat the Boston Braves, 13-1. Curt Walker hit two in the inning to tie an National League record.

1935 - The Red Sox end a game for the second consecutive day with Wes Ferrell hitting a walk-off home run. As a pinch-hitter yesterday his round-tripper beat the Tigers, 7-6, and as today's starter his game-ending homer earns him a 2-1 victory against the Browns.

1941 - Dick Wakefield becomes baseball's first 'bonus baby' when he signs with the Tigers for $52,000 and a new car. The University of Michigan standout will get one hit in seven at-bats (.143) this season.

1954 - In an attempt to put more pop in the lineup, Yankee skipper Casey Stengel shifts Mickey Mantle to shortstop from center field in the top of the ninth inning. The move works when the 'Commerce Comet' hits a walk-off homer in the bottom of the tenth giving the Yankees a 4-3 victory over Chicago

1962 - During a twin bill with the Reds at Crosley Field, the Mets manage to have four runners thrown out trying to score at home plate. The new National League expansion team from New York loses both games, 11-4 and 4-3, en route to a record-setting 120 defeats this season.

1966 - Clay Dalrymple breaks up Giants hurler Gaylord Perry's no-hitter with an eighth inning single. It’s the second time the Phillies’ catcher has spoiled a no-hit bid in the eighth inning at Candlestick Park as he collected the only hit in Juan Marichal’s debut in 1960.

1967 - The Atlanta Braves used a Major League record five pitchers in the ninth inning of a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The pitchers were Ken Johnson, Ramon Hernandez, Claude Raymond, Dick Kelley and Cecil Upshaw.

1969 - For the first time since its inception in 1939, the All-star game is not played as scheduled. A torrential rain storm in the nation's capital causes a postponement of the 40th Midsummer Classic until the following day at RFK Stadium .

1973 - The Reds' shortstop Dave Concepcion will miss the rest of the season due to a broken ankle. The All-Star infielder hits .287 in the 89 games he plays for the eventual National League Western Division winners.

1983 - Angels' outfielder Brian Downing's American League record consecutive errorless streak ends at 244 games when he misplays Chet Lemon's line drive in a 13-11 loss to the Tigers.

1986 - Due to a series of maneuvers by Mets' manager Davey Johnson and the late-game ejections of Darryl Strawberry, Ray Knight, and Kevin Mitchell (the latter two as a result of a bench-clearing brawl precipitated by Knight when he decks pinch-runner Eric Davis at third base), the teams runs out of position players. The shortage of regulars leads to some interesting juggling by the New York skipper when catcher Gary Carter plays third base and a pair of relievers shift between the mound and a corner outfield position, with righty Roger McDowell playing left field when Jesse Orosco pitches to lefties and the southpaw hurler moving to right field when McDowell comes in from the outfield to face right-handed batters, with Mookie Wilson moving from corner to corner as needed.


1993 - Giving up four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning at Three Rivers Stadium, the Braves lose to the Pirates, 8-7, to fall ten games behind the division-leading Giants. In a remarkable turn-around, after the All-Star break Atlanta will post a 54-19 record finishing with 104 victories, and will win the National League West historic race on the last day of the season by a single game.

2000 - Seattle's 13-5 win over Texas was interrupted for fifty-four minutes when a rainstorm drenched fans at Safeco Field and the $518 million stadium's roof wouldn't close because of a computer problem. The roof finally began closing about twenty minutes later.

2002 - Although the Los Angeles Times has reported MLB players had tentatively set a strike date of September 16, union leader Donald Fehr, through a memo sent to players, indicates no such decision has been made. It would be baseball's ninth work stoppage since 1972.

2002 - Over 20,000 Red Sox fans gather at Fenway for a tribute entitled, "Ted Williams: A Celebration of an American Hero," The two hour salute of the man many consider to be the greatest hitter in baseball history, a vet of World War II and the Korean War and a generous supporter of the Jimmy Fund, in addition to moving music and video, includes comments from present and former Red Sox players and broadcasters, historian Ken Burns, and former U.S. Senator John Glenn, who was Ted's wing man during the Korean War.


2005 - Washington Nationals outfielder Jose Guillen, armed with a measuring tape and the help of a few teammates, checks the distance from home plate to the fences at Washington’s RFK Stadium and finds inaccuracies. The club had brought in a surveyor earlier in the day and as a result of the findings moved the green pads with the ``380'' markings closer to the respective foul lines to be more accurate.

2005 - Yhency Brazoban records his 18th save as he works a perfect ninth inning as the Dodgers beat the Mets, 6-5. The Los Angeles freshman, who is filling in for injured closer Eric Gagne, breaks Steve Howe’s club rookie record for saves established in 1980.

2007 - Tulsa Drillers’ first base coach Mike Coolbaugh is killed instantly when struck in the head by a line drive in the top of the ninth inning at Dickey-Stephens Field in North Little Rock, home of the minor league Arkansas Travelers. The 35-year old dad, who leaves behind a pregnant wife and two small sons, becomes the second on-the-field fatality in professional baseball history.

2007 - Devil Rays’ right-hander Shawn Camp yields nine hits in his in 1.1 innings of relief during the 21-4 rout by the Yankees. The 34 year-old Tampa Bay reliever allowed three home runs to the 13 batters he faces at the Bronx ballpark.

2010 - The Philadelphia Phillies signed Timo Perez as a free agent.

2012 - Barry Larkin, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Reds, is inducted into the Hall of Fame. The former 12-time All-Star shortstop, a lifetime a .295 hitter, won the Gold Glove Award three times and is a nine time Silver Slugger Award winner.


2012 - After hitting a first-inning triple in the Angels' 7-4 victory over Texas, Mike Trout comes home on a Albert Pujols' ground-rule double, setting a team and an American League rookie record by scoring a run in his 14th consecutive game. The 20-year-old left fielder surpasses the freshman mark shared by Jake Powell (1935, Senators) and Don Lenhardt (1950, Browns) and also eclipses the franchise record established by Jim Edmonds in 1995.

2012 - The A's, after tying the game with a run in the bottom of the ninth, complete their sweep of New York with a 5-4 walk-off victory in the 12th inning at The Coliseum. It marks the first time in Yankees history that the Bronx Bombers been swept in a four-game series while losing all four by one run.

2012 - Ron Santo, who died at the end of 2010 disappointed about not being selected for Cooperstown, is inducted posthumously into the Hall of Fame. In tribute of the team's former third baseman and beloved broadcaster, the Cubs click their heels as they jumped over the third-base line to begin the bottom of the first inning during their game in St. Louis, invoking the memory of the Chicago infielder's signature move after a victory.

2013 - The Rangers trade three prospects, third baseman Mike Olt, pitchers C.J. Edwards and Justin Grimm, to the Cubs for Matt Garza, a player the team has attempted to land for the past two seasons. The deal also includes the Cubs receiving a player to be named later, most likely Neil Ramirez if his shoulder is sound, or two others minor-leaguers if the right-hander is still injured.

2014 - Chase Headley, obtained by the Yankees less than 12 hours ago, hits a single in the 14th inning, giving the Bombers a 2-1 walk-off victory over Texas in the Bronx. New York acquired their new third baseman earlier in the day when they traded minor league pitching prospect Rafael De Paula and infielder Yangervis Solarte to the Padres, with the team also receiving $1 million from San Diego to pay part
