On May 28 in Baseball History...
1918 - Bullet Joe Bush hurls a one-hitter against the White Sox and also drives in the game's lone run in the Red Sox's victory at Fenway Park. The only Chicago hit off the Boston right-hander is the result of Happy Felsch throwing his bat at the ball on a hit-and-run play.
1939 - Over two successive games, George Selkirk hits four homers in four at-bats against the same pitcher. The Yankee outfielder victimized A's starter Robert Joyce with two homers yesterday and continued the assault against him today with two more round-trippers when the right-hander comes into the game in relief.
1941 - Prior to the first major league game played at night in Washington, D.C., Senator legend Walter Johnson throws a strike through a beam of light triggering a switch that illuminates Griffith Stadium. On the field, things are not as bright for the home team when it suffers its tenth consecutive setback, a 6-5 loss to the Yankees.
1946 - General Electric president Charles E. Wilson throws out the ceremonial first pitch in the first night game played at Yankee Stadium. In front of 49,917 fans, Washington beats the Bronx Bombers, 2-1, when Dutch Leonard goes the distance throwing a six-hitter to improve his spotless record to 5-0.
1951 - After going 0-for-12, Willie Mays connects for his first major-league hit, a home run off Braves pitcher Warren Spahn. Ironically it is the first of 18 home runs the 'Say Hey Kid' will hit off the Hall of Fame hurler, the most he will hit off any one pitcher. The Giants lose the game 4-1.
1952 - The Giants Willie Mays enters the army. Although Mays is hitting just .236, the Giants are two and a half games up, in first place. They will lose eight of their next ten games.
1956 - Pirates first baseman Dale Long hits his eighth home run in eight games. This major league record will be later tied by Yankee first baseman Don Mattingly (1987) and Mariner outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr (1993).
1957 - With a unanimous vote, National League owners grant permission to allow both the Dodgers and Giants to move their clubs to the West Coast if the clubs so desire. There will not be a National League team in New York next season.
1961 - After losing the first game 14-9 at home to Chicago, the Yankees take the nightcap 5-3 with the help of a Roger Maris home run. Maris's ninth home run of the season is one of 27 hit in today's seven A.L. games — a record. Twelve more homers in four N.L. games make a total of 39, a one-day major-league record for 11 games in both leagues.
1968 - The A.L. owners agree to the following divisional alignment for 1969: Eastern: Boston, New York, Cleveland, Baltimore, Washington, Detroit. Western: Chicago, Kansas City, Minnesota, Seattle, Oakland, California.
1971 - Clete Boyer, involved in a dispute with Braves owner Paul Richards and manager Lum Harris over alleged silly rules and mismanagement, gets his release and retires. Boyer had hit safely in the last nine games of his career, including five home runs and 14 RBI.
1976 - Ron LeFlore's 31-game hitting streak comes to when Ed Figueroa and Tippy Martinez hold the him hitless in four at-bats in Detroit's 9-5 loss to the Yankees. The Tiger outfielder's span of consecutive games with at least one hit, the longest American League hitting streak in 27 years, began on the final day of last season.
1979 - George Brett hits for the cycle in the Royals' 5-4 victory over Baltimore. The third baseman's second home run of the game gives Kansas City a 5-4 walk-off victory in the bottom of the 16th inning.
1982 - During an argument with the umpires, Durham Bulls skipper Bobby Dews throws second base into the stands and then takes off his jersey and powders under his arms with the rosin bag before kicking it into the air..
1986 - In his second start for the White Sox since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, Joe Cowley sets a major-league record by striking out the first seven Rangers he faces, but still surrenders six runs in 4 1/3 innings and loses 6-3. Cowley's record will be broken by Jim Deshaies before season's end.
1987 - Mike Young becomes only the fifth major leaguer to hit two extra-inning home runs in same game when the he goes deep in the 10th and 12th frames. The Orioles DH's second overtime round-tripper gives the Birds an 8-7 walk-off victory over the Halos at Memorial Stadium.
1994 - Minnesota's Dave Winfield passes former Twin Rod Carew to move into 15th place on the all-time list with career hit 3,054.
1995 - The White Sox and Tigers combine for a major-league record 12 home runs at Tiger Stadium. The Tigers hit seven home runs, but still lose the 14-12 slugfest.
1996 - In the Orioles' 12-8 win over Seattle at the Kingdome, Cal Ripken blasts three home runs. The Baltimore shortstop's grand slam and two two-run homers adds up to a career-high eight RBIs.
1998 - In the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and his team leading the Giants 8-6, Diamondbacks' manager Buck Showalter orders that Barry Bonds be intentionally walked with the bases loaded by reliever Gregg Olson. The free pass works when the next batter, Brett Mayne, lines outs to deep center field giving Arizona an 8-7 victory at Candlestick Park.
2000 - The Diamondbacks team-record 11-game home winning streak is halted by the Brewers. Marquis Grissom's RBI single in the 11th inning is the difference in the 4-3 loss to Milwaukee.
2000 - The Astros set a team record by homering in their 15th straight game. Ken Caminiti and Lance Berkman each go deep in the team's 4-3 victory over Atlanta at Enron Field.
2000 - The Angels, for the first time in franchise history, hit four homers in one inning. In the fifth frame of the Halos, 11-4 victory, Darin Erstad, Mo Vaughn, Tim Salmon and Garret Anderson all go yard.
2001 - In an 11-inning slugfest with Colorado, LA catcher Paul Lo Duca goes 6-for-6 in the team's 11-10 victory at Dodger Stadium. The backstop's five singles and a three-run homer tie a National League record for hits in an extra-inning game.
2001 - Marlin skipper John Boles (22-26, 8.5 GB) is fired a day after reliever Dan Miceli blasts the skipper and his coaching staff for their lack of major league playing experience. Tony Perez, a Hall of Famer, is named to take over the team an interim basis.
2003 - When Rafael Furcal, Mark DeRosa and Gary Sheffield all go deep off Reds' Jeff Austin in the bottom of the first inning, the Braves become only the second team in big league history to begin a game with three consecutive home runs. In San Diego's home opener in 1987, the Padres wasted no time making up a two-run first inning deficit as each of the first three batters, Marvell Wynn, Tony Gwynn, and John Kruk, all went yard in the bottom of the first inning off Giant starter Roger Mason.
2004 - Saving the Yankees’ 7-5 win over the Devil Rays in Tampa Bay, Mariano Rivera notches his 300th career save. The Panama City native becomes the first Yankee and 17th reliever in major league history to reach the milestone.
2004 - Matt Clement becomes the twenty-first big league pitcher, and the first Cubs' hurler in over a century, to hit three batters in one inning. The right-hander ties a major league record when he plunks Bobby Hill, Jason Kendall and Craig Wilson in the fifth inning of a 5-4 loss in the first game of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh at PNC Park.
2005 - In the eighth inning of the Red Sox's 17-1 rout over the Yankees in New York, the largest margin of victory the team has ever enjoyed against their rivals, the stadium scoreboard goes blank for a few moments when the operator cannot keep up with the Boston barrage. The BoSox’s 27 hits, one shy of a Bronx Bomber record for hits allowed, are the most collected by the club since tying the team record of 28 in June of 2003, ironically in a game also started by Carl Pavano as the opposing pitcher, but in a Marlin uniform.
2005 - At Great American Ball Park, the number 10 joins 5 (Bench), 8 (Morgan), 24 (Perez), 20 (F. Robinson), 1 (Hutchinson), and 18 (Kluszewski) on the facade of the press box, when the Reds retire Sparky Anderson’s uniform number. As the skipper of the ‘Big Red Machine’, George Lee Anderson became the franchise’s winningest manager (863-586) and captured four NL pennants (1970, 1972, 1975-76 ) and two World Championships (1975-76).
2005 - With three remaining games left in May, the Padres surpass the previous club record for the most wins for any one month. The 5-3 win over the Giants marked the team’s 19th victory since May 1.
2006 - In an 11-inning slugfest at Wrigley Field, the Braves establish a new club record by hitting eight homers in a 13-12 win over the Cubs. Marcus Giles, Andruw Jones, Ryan Langerhans, Adam LaRoche (2), Brayan Pena, and Edgar Renteria (2) all go deep for Atlanta.
2006 - At AT&T Park, Barry Bonds passes Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list taking sole possession of second place when he hits the 715th homer of his 21-year big league career. The historic homer, which comes off a 90-mph fastball thrown by Byung-Hyum Kim of the Rockies, makes the Giants outfielder the most prolific left-handed slugger in baseball history.
2007 - Adrian Beltre strokes four extra-base hits to tie a franchise record in the Mariners' 12-5 rout of Anaheim. The Seattle third baseman collects 12 total bases with a pair of doubles and two home runs.
2010 - The Chicago White Sox released Alan Embree.
2010 - Matt Cain throws his second career one-hitter giving up only a two-out double to Mark Reynolds in second inning of the Giants' 5-0 victory over Arizona. In a 2006 contest, the 25-year old right-hander also limited Oakland to one hit, a seventh-inning two-bagger to Jay Payton.
2011 - The game between Los Angeles and Florida continues as fans in a section of the upper deck seats at Dodger Stadium are evacuated due to a small fire in a nearby storage area. With plumes of smoke visible coming from the top level of the ball park on the first base side, the crowd is informed by the public address announcer that it will not be necessary to evacuate the entire stadium.
2014 - The Cincinnati Reds signed Carlos Marmol as a free agent.

May 28, 1973 - A night Wilbur Wood will never forget. Two days earlier the game between Cleveland and the White Sox was suspended by curfew tied at two after 16 innings. Rain washed out action on the 27th so when the suspended game was resumed on the 28th, it was Wood’s turn to pitch. He went out and threw five innings before the White Sox would win it 6 - 3 in 21 innings on a Dick Allen three-run walk off home run off of Indians' reliever Ed Farmer. Game one was also the MLB debut for White Sox outfielder Bill Sharp. Thirty minutes later Wood went out and started the regularly scheduled game. He would toss a complete game, four hit shut out, winning 4 - 0. Two wins in one evening! His line for the night, 14 innings pitched, one run, six hits, nine strikeouts, two wins.

On May 29 in Baseball History...
1905 - Dodger hurler Elmer Stricklett introduces the spitball helping Brooklyn to beat the Giants, 4-3.
1922 - The Supreme Court rules that organized baseball is a sport and not a business which exempts major league clubs from antitrust laws and interstate commerce rules.
1928 - At Ebbets Field, Bill Terry hits for the cycle to pace the Giants to a 12-5 victory over the Robins (Dodgers). The New York first baseman is the first player in major league history to include a grand slam as part of the cycle.
1946 - In a reverse integration role, Edward Klep becomes the first white to play in the Negro leagues. In a game played in Grand Rapids, the Erie, Pennsylvania native tosses seven innings for the Cleveland Buckeyes against the American Giants in his debut with the Negro American League team.
1951 - Baseball pitcher Billy Joe Davidson signs a record bonus that is reported to be $120,000 with the Cleveland Indians. The Marion, North Carolina native will never play a game in the majors.
1956 - In a 10-1 loss to the Dodgers at Forbes Field, Dale Long is held hitless by Don Newcombe ending his consecutive-game home run streak. The Pirates' first baseman had established a new major league mark by homering in the last eight Pittsburgh contests.
1959 - Gus Bell goes 5-for-5, including three consecutive home runs, helping the Reds beat the Cubs, 10-4.
1962 - Buck (John) O'Neil, previously a scout with the Cubs, becomes the first black coach in major-league baseball after accepting a job with the organization.
1965 - Richie Allen's 529-foot blast clears the left-center field roof, over the Coke Sign, at Connie Mack Stadium. The Phillies' third baseman's two-run prodigious poke off Chicago’s right-hander Larry Jackson proves to be the difference in Philadelphia's 4-2 victory.
1976 - The only home run of Joe Niekro's 22-year career comes at the expense of brother Phil as the Astros tie the Braves in the seventh, then win 4-3.
1978 - In a 14-inning one-run loss to Pittsburgh, Phillies' outfielder Garry Maddox ties a franchise record when he swipes four bases. The Philadelphia fleet flychaser equals the mark set in 1906 by Sherry Magee, who accomplished the feat twice that season.
1979 - At Dodger Stadium, Dusty Baker, Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Garvey, Gary Thomasson, Derrel Thomas, Joe Ferguson and Davey Lopes set a team record by hitting seven home runs as the Dodgers crush the Reds, 17-6.
1981 - The Mets trade relief pitcher Jeff Reardon and outfielder Dan Norman, who was obtained from the Reds in the 1977 Tom Seaver trade, to the Expos for Ellis Valentine.
1982 - LaMarr Hoyt's 14-game winning streak ends as the Indians beat the White Sox, 5-2.
1982 - Paul Splittorff pitches eight solid innings in the Royals' 14-1 rout of Texas at Arlington Stadium. The southpaw's victory makes him the all-time franchise leader with 145 wins, one more than Dennis Leonard.
1989 - Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt, 39, retires. He is seventh on the all-time home run list with 548, but was hitting just .203 this season before making his tearful farewell speech.
1990 - Rickey Henderson steals his 893rd career base in Oakland's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, surpassing Ty Cobb as the A.L.'s all-time leader. Lou Brock's mark of 938 is next.
1992 - Tim Raines of the White Sox swipes his 700th career base.
1993 - Jose Canseco, who three days earlier had a ball bounce off his head for a home run, pitches an inning in a blowout in Boston. The result? Besides the Rangers' 15-1 loss, Canseco winds up having to undergo season-ending elbow surgery from his ill-advised outing.
1996 - Orioles' Cal Ripken moves past Eddie Murray for first-place on the team's home run all-time list by hitting his 334th career home run in a 9-8 loss to the Mariners.
2000 - At Yankee Stadium, Randy Velarde completes the tenth unassisted triple play in major league history. With runners on first and second Shane Spencer hits a line drive to the A's second baseman who catches the ball, tags out Jorge Posada coming from first base and steps on second tripling up Tino Martinez who took off for third to complete the rare event.

2001 - The Diamondbacks beat the Giants at PacBell Park, 1-0. The 18-inning contest, which takes five hours and fifty-three minutes to play, establishes a franchise mark for Colorado in both innings played and time.
2002 - Yankee fireballer Roger Clemens becomes the third major leaguer to strike out 10 or more batters in at least 100 games. Nolan Ryan (215) and Randy Johnson (175) are the other two hurlers to have accomplished the feat.
2003 - The Red Sox trade All-Star third baseman Shea Hillenbrand (.303, 3, 38) to the Diamondbacks for 24-year old reliever turned starter Byung-Hyun Kim (1-5, 3.56).
2010 - The Giants call up Buster Posey to start at first base, and the 23-year old rookie responds going three-for-four with three RBIs in a 12-1 rout of the Diamondbacks at AT&T Park. The Leesburg, GA native, who will be selected as the National League's Rookie of the Year at the end of the season, will not become the team's starting catcher until Bengie Molina is traded to Texas at the end of June.
2010 - Kendry Morales breaks his left ankle jumping on home plate while celebrating his walk-off grand slam that just beat Seattle, 9-7. The freak injury will cause the 26-year old talented Angel first baseman to probably miss the rest of the season.
2010 - Roy Halladay throws the 20th perfect game in major league history, outdueling Josh Johnson in the Phillies' 1-0 victory over the Marlins at Miami’s Sun Life Stadium. The former American League Cy Young Award winner, obtained from Toronto in the off-season, joins Jim Bunning as the only other hurler in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
2014 - In the Blue Jays’ 8-6 loss to Kansas City at the Rogers Centre, Edwin Encarnacion hits a pair of two-run homers, both off Royals right-hander James Shields, to set a franchise record for home runs in a month with 16. The Toronto first baseman now also shares the American League mark for most home runs in the month of May with Yankees legend Mickey Mantle.
2016 - United States softball star Jennie Finch becomes the first woman to manage a pro baseball team when she leads the Bridgeport Bluefish to a 3-1 win over the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in an Atlantic League contest played at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard. The Olympic gold medal winning pitcher, an All-American at Arizona, is married to Casey Daigle, who pitched briefly for the Diamondbacks and Astros.

May 29, 1999 - The White Sox beat the Tigers 7 - 1 in a Saturday afternoon game at Tigers Stadium. In the 7th inning of the game, White Sox third baseman Greg Norton hits his eight home run of the season. It's also the third consecutive game that Norton has hit at least one home run. He had hit two HRs in each of the last two games. That's five home runs for Norton in three days. 1999 would turnout to be not only Norton's most productive season in a White Sox uniform but also his career season highs in ABs, runs scored, hits, doubles, walks and RBI. His 16 Hrs for 1999 would be his career high until the 2006 season when he hit 17 for Tampa Bay.
