Today In White Sox History - June 24th

 

June 24, 1977 - An embarrassing moment for White Sox outfielder Ralph Garr and, as it turned out, a costly one for the team. In the 3rd inning of a game in Minnesota, Garr hit what appeared to be a three run home run... however as he was running the bases he passed catcher Jim Essian who waited at first base to make sure the ball was, in fact, a home run. Garr was called out for passing the runner and awarded a two run single. The White Sox ended up losing the game 7-6.

    On June 25 in Baseball History...


    1898 - 'Jumbo' Davis makes five errors in a 10-3 loss. The Kansas City Cowboys (AA) third baseman will commit 100 errors in 628 chances this season.

    1903 - Boston Beaneater Wiley Piatt becomes the only 20th-century pitcher to lose two complete games in one day, falling to Pittsburgh 1-0 and 5-3.

    1924 - Pirates left-hander Emil Yde's double ties the score in the ninth inning. Five innings later, the Pittsburgh reliever's triple in the 14th beats the Cubs at Forbes Field, 8-7.

    1934 - In an 11-2 victory over White Sox, Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig hits for the cycle. Although pitcher John Broaca ties a major league record by striking out five consecutive times he gets the victory.


    1937 - Augie Galan becomes the first National Leaguer to hit a homer from each side of the plate. The switch-hitter's pair of round-trippers helps the Cubs beat the Dodgers, 11-2.

    1937 - Right fielder Ben Chapman makes a third of the putouts in the Red Sox 4-2 victory over the Browns. Seven of his nine catches in the Fenway outfield are made consecutively.

    1950 - Hank Sauer strokes two home runs and two doubles. The outfielder's 12 total bases help the Cubs defeat Philadelphia, 11-8.

    1961 - The Orioles and the Angels set a major league record by using 16 pitchers, eight by each side. Ron Hansen's 14th-inning homer gives Baltimore the 9-8 victory at L.A.'s Wrigley Field.

    1968 - San Francisco rookie Bobby Bonds becomes the second player to debut with a grand slam as teammate Ray Sadecki blanks the Dodgers 9-0. Bonds does it on his third at-bat. The only other player to hit a grand slam in his first major-league game was William Duggelby of the Philadelphia Nationals in 1898.

    1971 - Willie Stargell hits the longest home run in the history of Veterans Stadium in the second inning off starter Jim Bunning during a 14-4 Pirates rout of Philadelphia. The spot in Section 601 where the ball landed will be eventually commemorated with a black "S" inscribed within a yellow star inside a white circle, later to be painted black when the Hall of Famer dies in 2001.

    1972 - After a legal battle, Beatrice Gera finally becomes the first woman professional umpire when she works a minor game in Geneva, New York. Reportedly, Auburn manager Nolan Campbell argues a close call which brings the new arbitrator to tears causing her to resign after the game.

    1976 - Ranger Toby Harrah becomes the first shortstop in major-league history to go through an entire doubleheader without a fielding chance. At the plate, Harrah makes up for the inactivity, collecting six hits, including a grand slam in the opener and another round-tripper in the nightcap. The Rangers beat the White Sox in the first game 8-4, but lose the nightcap 14-9.

    1984 - Dodger infielder Bill Russell plays his 1,953rd game to become the team's leader in games played.

    1985 - Due to bat boy Butch Wynegar being hit by a line drive foul ball, Yankees officials enact a new rule mandating the team's bat boys wear protective helmets during all games.

    1986 - The Phillies give 41-year-old Steve Carlton his unconditional release and call up Bruce Ruffin to take his place in the starting rotation.

    1988 - Cal Ripken, Jr. plays in his 1,000th consecutive game, a 10-3 loss to Boston. Ripken's streak is the sixth-longest in major-league history.

    1989 - The Mets' defense does not record a single assist in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia, tying the major-league record set by the Indians in 1945. New York pitchers retire the Phillies on 13 strikeouts, 12 fly outs, and two ground balls to first base.

    1991 - Defeating the Phillies, 5-1, the Mets play a nine inning game without recording an assist joining the 1945 Indians as the only teams to ever accomplish the feat.

    1995 - Rockies first baseman Andres Galarraga becomes the fourth player to homer in three consecutive innings in an 11-3 win over the Padres. Galarraga, who had seven RBI in the game, went deep in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings and was on deck when the Rockies were retired in the ninth.

    1995 - The Astros rout the Cubs, 19-6, to set a club record for runs in one game. After scoring a lone tally in the fourth, Houston puts up crooked numbers for the rest of the game, including a nine-run eighth inning.

    1996 - In Oakland, A's first baseman Mark McGwire hits his 300th career home run off of Tiger hurler pitcher Omar Olivares.

    1997 - The Brewers scarcely even sniff a hit before Jose Valentin cues Mike Mussina's first offering of the eighth inning off the end of the bat into short right field for a single in Baltimore's 9-1 win. It marks the second time in less than a month that the Orioles ace righthander flirts with a no-hitter deep into a game. Mussina retired the first 25 Cleveland hitters at Camden Yards on May 30 before Sandy Alomar's one-out single in the ninth.

    1998 - Cub Sammy Sosa breaks the major league record for homers in a month, hitting his 19th dinger in June passing the mark set by Tiger Rudy York in August of 1937.

    1999 - Entering the game with an 6+ ERA, Jose Jimenez faces only 28 batters and no-hits the Diamondbacks,1-0. The Cardinal hurler is the first NL rookie to throw a no-hitter since 1972 and the first Cardinal since 1983 to accomplish the feat.

    1999 - Entering the game in the top of the eighth inning in an eventual 9-8 Oriole loss to New York at Camden Yards, Jesse Orosco sets the major league record for the most relief appearances. The Baltimore reliever surpasses the mark previously set by Kent Tekulve, who had been summoned out of the bullpen 1,050 times.

    2000 - After starting in the bottom of the first with a round-tripper, Darin Erstad ends the game in the bottom of the 11th inning with a walk-off home run, giving the Angels a 7-6 victory over Minnesota at Edison Field. The Anaheim lead-off DH joins Billy Hamilton (1892 Phillies) and Vic Power (1957 A's) as only the third major leaguer to have hit both a leadoff and walkoff home run in the same game.

    2001 - In the first professional baseball game in Brooklyn after a 44-year absence, the short season class A minor league Cyclones win their home opener at Keyspan Park defeating the Scrappers 3-2 in 10 innings.

    2002 - In game which is broadcast throughout Latin America, skippers Luis Pujols of the Tigers and Tony Pena of the Royals become the first major league managers born in the Dominican Republic to oppose each other in a game. The president of the Dominican Republic, Hipolito Mejia, is on hand to watch Raul Ibanez’s double, triple and home run and four RBIs lead the hometown Royals to an 8-6 comeback victory over Detroit.

    2003 - Todd McFarlane pays $450,000 plus fees for Barry Bonds' record-breaking 73rd home run baseball at the Lelands.com Auction. The Valley comic book icon and toymaker’s, who also owns Mark McGwire's No. 70 home run ball, bid was aired live on ESPN's SportsCenter.

    2006 - With his White Sox trailing 9-2, second baseman Tadahito Iguchi hits a three-run bomb in the eighth and then delivers a game-tying grand slam in the ninth during an eventual 13 inning loss to the Astros at U.S. Cellular Field. Teammates Scott Podsednik (6/23) and Joe Crede (6/24) had also hit home runs with the bases full in the two previous games of the series making it the first time in team history a grand slam was hit in three consecutive games.


    2007 - In his second Pacific Coast League start, Manny Parra of the Nashville Sounds throws the eighth perfect game in PCL history. The 24-year old Brewers’ farmhand mows down 27 consecutive Express (Astros) batters en route to a 3-0 victory at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock,Texas.

    2007 - A fan charged Bobby Howry during the Cubs' 10-9 win over Colorado, after the reliever helped blow an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning. Howry gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe and a three-run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. The fan then jumped onto the field from the roof of the Rockies' dugout and made it a few feet from the mound before security guards tackled him. Howry earned the victory when Alfonso Soriano hit a game-ending two-run single in the bottom of the inning.

    2011 - In front of a sold-out crowd of 42,130 fans at AT&T Park, the Giants beat the Indians, 1-0, with the game's lone run scoring on a base-loaded seventh-inning balk. In an inning that features a stand-up triple by Nate Schierholtz and two errors by Tribe second baseman Cord Phelps, Cleveland southpaw Tony Sipp allows the run to score when he flinches his throwing arm just prior to delivering a pitch to Emmanuel Burriss balking home Miguel Tejada.

    2013 - In a matchup of Japanese starters, Ranger All-Star Yu Darvish and Yankee right-hander Hiroki Kuroda both get a no-decision, with each hurler failing to make it into the seventh inning. New York wins the Bronx ballpark contest with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning when Japanese outfielder Ichiro Suzuki hits a walk-off home run.

    2013 - The Philadelphia Phillies signed Mike MacDougal as a free agent.

    2014 - The Giants' Tim Lincecum no-hits the Padres at AT&T Park. A one-out walk by Chase Headley in the top of the 2nd was the Padres only baserunner in the game. Lincecum strikes out 6 in the 4-0 Giants win.

    2014 - David Price, with his 11-strikeout performance in the Rays’ 5-1 victory over the Pirates, has whiffed at least 10 batters in five straight games, marking the 22nd time the feat has been accomplished in major league history. The 28-year-old southpaw joins an impressive group of hurlers that includes Pedro Martinez (6), Randy Johnson [8], and Nolan Ryan (3), Curt Schilling (1), J.R. Richard (1), Dwight Gooden (1), and Johan Santana, who, in 2004, was the last to accomplished the deed.

    2016 - The Blue Jays pitchers surrender seven dingers but they're all solo shots as Toronto beat the White Sox 10-8 at U.S. Cellular Field.

Today In White Sox History - June 25th






 

June 25, 1991 - White Sox pitcher “Black” Jack McDowell fires the first shutout for the home team in the new Comiskey Park when he blanks the Mariners 4 - 0 while scattering three hits. Jack was masterful on the day and carried a no hitter until former White Sox catcher Scott Bradley and future White Sox Omar Vizquel both singled with one out in the eighth inning.

       On June 26 in Baseball History...


    1906 - Herbert M. Whitney, a catcher for the Burlington Pathfinders, becomes the first professional baseball player to die as a result of being hit by a pitch. The beaning occurred two days ago in an Iowa State League contest against the Waterloo Microbes.

    1913 - After failing in Cincinnati and moving across the Ohio River to Covington, Kentucky, the Federal League team decides to relocate again. The franchise shift to Kansas City, which is American Association territory, will cause organized baseball to 'declare war' on the upstart league.

    1913 - In the nightcap against the A's at Washington's Griffith Stadium, Eddie Ainsmith steals three bases in one inning. After safely reaching base on a single in the bottom of the ninth frame, the 23-year old catcher's thievery of second, third and home proves to be of little consequence with Philadelphia routing the Nats, 10-3.

    1916 - Three fans at the Polo Grounds are arrested for petty larceny by the NYPD for keeping balls hit into the stands.

    1916 - The Indians became the first major league club to field a team with numbered uniforms when they take on Chicago at Cleveland's League Park. The use of large numerals on the players' left sleeve and corresponding scorecards lasts just a few weeks and, after a brief trial next season, the concept will be totally abandoned.


    1920 - Lou Gehrig gets his first national mention when, as a high school junior for New York City's School of Commerce, he hits a grand slam in a high school championship game against Lane Tech in Chicago. Scouts sit with open mouths as the ball sails out of the N.L. park (later known as Wrigley Field).

    1924 - In a matchup at the Polo Grounds, Giants' right-hander Virgil Barnes faces his older sibling, Jesse, marking the first time brothers have started against one another in major league history. Neither of Luther and Sade's sons will be credited with the victory, but Jesse will be tagged with the loss when New York beats his Braves, 11-7.

    1935 - Lloyd Waner sets a major-league record with 18 putouts in center field in a doubleheader as the Pirates take a pair from the Braves at Boston.

    1938 - Carl Hubbell notches his 200th victory as the Giants defeat the Cubs, 5-1.

    1939 - In Philadelphia, the Yankees play their first night game in franchise history losing to Connie Mack's A's, 3-2.

    1944 - At the Polo Grounds with over 50,000 fans looking on, the New York major league teams play against each other in a six inning three-team game (a team played consecutive innings against the other two teams then sat out an inning). The contest, which was played to raise money for war bonds, ends with the final score of Dodgers 5, Yankees 1, Giants 0.


    1946 - After batting only .048 (2-for-48), Mel Ott decides to stop playing and only manage the Giants.

    1948 - Lou Boudreau, the Tribe's player-manager who will finish the season with 199 hits, has a two-run single taken away when his pitcher Bob Mancrief misses third base in the Indians' 5-0 victory over Washington. The right-hander makes up for his base running gaffe by hurling a three-hit shutout in the Cleveland Stadium contest.

    1957 - Young center fielder Willie Mays collects four hits, scores three runs, and drives in four batters in the Giants' 17-7 victory over the Reds at Cincinnati's Crosley Field. The close game becomes a blowout when the Jints score seven runs in the sixth and and five more in the seventh.

    1960 - With help of Ron Santo‚ making his major league debut‚ the Cubs sweep a doubleheader from first-place Pittsburgh, 7-5 and 7-6. The rookie third baseman goes 3-for-7, driving in five runs during the twin bill at Forbes Field.

    1960 - Hoping to speed up the election process, the Hall of Fame changes its voting procedures. The new rules allow the Special Veterans Committee to vote annually, rather than every other year, and to induct up to two players a year. The BBWAA is authorized to hold a runoff election of the top 30 vote getters if no one is elected in the first ballot.

    1961 - The Yankees beat the Angels, 8-6, and Yogi Berra collects his 2000th career hit, all as a Bronx Bomber. To celebrate the achievement a huge cake is rolled out in Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.

    1962 - Earl Wilson, the Red Sox's first black hurler, no-hits the Angels at Fenway Park, 2-0. The 27-year old right-hander also drives in the first run of the game when he goes deep off loser Bo Belinsky‚ who also pitched a no-hitter last month.

    1963 - The Colt .45's snap their streak of 30 consecutive innings without scoring a run when Al Spangler goes deep in the sixth frame of a 7-2 victory over Milwaukee. The Houston outfielder's round-tripper is only the second run the team has scored in the last 70 innings.

    1963 - In a clear message of support for the German people, President John F. Kennedy delivers his iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech from the steps of Rathaus Schöneberg in front of an audience of estimated at 450,000. During his visit, large crowds greet JFK with banners, including one that reads, "Let's Go Mets".

    1964 - University of Wisconsin star Rick Reichardt receives the highest bonus to date ($200,000) as he signs with Angels.

    1966 - Ron Santo is struck in the face by a pitch thrown by Mets' starter Jack Fisher. The Cubs third baseman's fractured cheek, which will be operated on tomorrow, ends his record consecutive streak at the hot corner at 390 games, but his 27-game hitting streak, one shy of the franchise mark, stays intact with a first-inning single.

    1968 - The major league Executive Council decides that both the A.L. and N.L. will play 162-game schedules in 1969 and operate two six-team divisions.

    1968 - Cardinals right-hander Bob Gibson tosses his fifth consecutive shutout as he blanks the Pirates, 3-0, in the first game of a doubleheader played at Busch Stadium. The future Hall of Famer’s accomplishment is one shy of the major league mark, set earlier in the month by Don Drysdale of the Dodgers.

    1970 - Frank Robinson hits two grand slams in the same game helping Baltimore to beat the Senators, 12-2. The Oriole outfielder, who accomplishes the feat in consecutive at bats, is the seventh major leaguer to hit two bases-full homers in one game.

    1971 - Last year's A.L. batting king, Alex Johnson, is suspended by the Angels following a series of incidents (including five benchings and 29 fines) resulting from failure to hustle.

    1977 - Pete Vukovich pitches the first shutout in Blue Jay history blanking the Orioles, 2-0.

    1983 - Rusty Staub ties the single season record with his eighth consecutive pinch hit. 'Le Grand Orange' equals the 1958 mark established by Dave Philley of the Phillies when he singles in the ninth inning off reliever Ron Reed in an 8-4 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium.

    1985 - At Jack Russell Stadium, the organist is ejected by umpire Keith O'Connor from a Class A Florida League game for playing Three Blind Mice following a close call which goes against the Clearwater Phillies. The self-taught musician becomes famous, signing autographs, "Wilbur Snapp, Three Blind Mice organist'' as the incident is reported by NBC's Today show weatherman Willard Scott and is heard on Paul Harvey's syndicated radio program.


    1987 - Although the Red Sox have a 9-0 second inning lead over the Yankees, Roger Clemens is unable to hold the lead with the Yankees winning 12-11 in ten innings. Boston's third baseman Wade Boggs sees his 25-game hitting streak come to an end.

    1994 - Kirby Puckett becomes Minnesota's all-time hits leader by getting three safeties to pass Rod Carew with his 2,088 hit as a Twin.

    1995 - Prior to rejoining the Yankees to make a start in Chicago, Clipper starter Mariano Rivera pitches a five-inning no-hitter against the IL's Rochester Red Wings in Columbus. During his tenure in the minor leagues, Mo, the future major league leader in career saves, is used primarily a starter, starting 68 games, including seven complete contests, en route to compiling a 27-18 record along with a 2.35 ERA.

    1997 - Tony Gwynn of the Padres breaks a seventh-inning tie with an inside-the-park grand slam as San Diego beats Los Angeles, 9-7. The opposite-field hit not only puts Gwynn back over the .400 mark, but is also the first N.L. inside-the-park grand slam in six years.

    1999 - At Candlestick Park‚ Todd Hundley's second homer of the day‚ a ninth inning three-run shot to deep right field off Giants' closer Robb Nen, sparks the Dodgers' 7-6 comeback win. Ellis Burks had put San Francisco ahead in the bottom of the eighth, 6-4, with a three-run homer off Alan Mills.

    2001 - Not known for being a base thief during his playing days, Pittsburgh manager Lloyd McClendon steals first base when he is ejected in the seventh frame for arguing a close play in the team's eventual 7-6, 12 inning come-from-behind victory over Milwaukee at PNC Park. "I told him (first base ump Rick Reed) he wasn't using it, so I thought I'd take it," explains the Bucs' skipper after pulling the bag out of the ground and carrying it into the Pirates' dugout.


    2003 - Edgar Martinez, who already holds the Mariners all-time records for games played, at-bats, hits, doubles, total bases, extra-base hits, walks and runs scored, passes Ken Griffey Jr.'s mark for team career RBIs. His two-run homer in the Mariners' 10-6 victory over the Angels gives the All-Star designated hitter 1,153 RBIs -- one more than Junior.

    2010 - Needing 149 pitches to accomplish the feat, Edwin Jackson no-hits the Rays at Tropicana Field, 1-0. The Diamondbacks' right-hander walks eight batters and hits another en route to joining Randy Johnson as the second pitcher in franchise history to throw a no-hitter.

    2011 - Three days after Jim Riggleman's sudden resignation, the Nationals name senior advisor Davey Johnson as the team's manager for the remainder of the season. The 68-year-old former skipper compiled a 1148-888 (.564) record during his 14 years in the dugout with the Mets, Dodgers, Reds and Orioles, finishing lower than third place on only three occasions.

    2012 - The Chicago White Sox released Kosuke Fukudome.


    2012 - At Yankee Stadium, third-base umpire Mike DiMuro rules that New York outfielder Dewayne Wise had made a clean catch of Indians' Jack Hannahan's pop fly in the stands to end the seventh inning. Replays, however clearly shows the empty-handed left fielder never made the catch, and Vinnie Pellegrino, a fan from West Islip, NY has the ball.


    2015 - Prince Fielder hits his 300th career home run when he goes deep to right field off Mark Buehrle in the first inning of the Rangers' 12-2 loss to Toronto at the Rogers Centre. The Texas Ranger first baseman’s milestone round-tripper makes him and his dad, Cecil (319), only the second son-father combo to hit 300-plus homers, joining Barry and Bobby Bonds.

This Date In White Sox History - June 26th






June 26, 1983 - White Sox slugger Greg Luzinski belts the first of his three rooftop home runs at Comiskey Park becoming the first player to ever hit that many in a single season. Luzinski powers a pitch from the Twins Bryan Oelkers over the roof in left center field. The shot came in the 3rd inning of a game the Sox would win 9-7.

     On June 27 in Baseball History...


    1911 - The Red Sox lose their protest about A's Stuffy McInnis hitting a 'warm-up' pitch homer, but the event causes a rule change. Warm-up pitches no longer end when a player steps into the box.

    1930 - At Philadelphia's Shibe Park, Jack Quinn becomes the oldest player to hit a home run in major league history. The A's pitcher is nine days shy of his 47th birthday when he connects for the solo shot.

    1940 - To honor the lyricist of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Jack Norworth Day is celebrated at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Norworth or his partner Albert Von Tilzer, who wrote the music, had never seen a game when they created the song in 1908.

    1959 - With the players voting, Henry Aaron gets a unanimous vote for the All-Star Game, making him the first player so selected.

    1962 - Monroe High School standout Ed Kranepool signs a contract as an amateur free agent with the Mets that includes a $85,000 bonus. The 17-year old Bronx teenager will spend his entire 18-year career with the expansion team establishing franchise records for hits, plate appearances and games play.

    1964 - Indians' third baseman Max Alvis is stricken with spinal meningitis. A year later the Jasper, Texas native will make the All-Star team.

    1967 - Al Kaline breaks his hand as he slams his bat into the bat rack after being struck out by Sam McDowell. The future Hall of Famer (1980) will miss 28 games for the second place Tigers.

    1972 - Making his last career start, Wade Blasingame's American League debut for the Yankees is an inauspicious one, as the Tigers go deep three consecutive times in the first frame. The opening inning home runs by Aurelio Rodriguez, Al Kaline and Willie Horton power Detroit over New York, 5-2.

    1973 - David Clyde, 18 and fresh out of Houston's Westchester high school, makes his eagerly awaited debut with Texas before 35,698, the largest Rangers' crowd of the year. Clyde, the number one pick in the draft, walks the first two Twins he faces, then gets Bob Darwin, George Mitterwald, and Joe Lis on swinging third strikes. Clyde goes five innings and gives up only one hit — a two-run home run — walks seven and strikes out eight. He is the winner, 4-3.

    1973 - In the opener of a twin bill at Shea Stadium, Buzz Capra pitches four innings of no-hit relief against the Phillies to get the save for starter George Stone as the Mets beat the Phillies, 7-6. A few hours earlier the 25-year old right-handed reliever had attended his dad’s funeral in Illinois.

    1973 - In the Cardinals' 15-4 rout of Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium, Joe Torre hits for the cycle. The St. Louis first baseman accomplishes the feat with a first inning double, a home run in the third, a triple in the fourth, and a single with two outs in the ninth.

    1977 - Willie McCovey smashes two home runs in the sixth inning to pace a 14-9 Giants victory over the Reds. McCovey becomes the first player to twice hit two home runs in one inning, having also done it on April 12, 1973. He also becomes the all-time N.L. leader with 17 career grand slams.

    1980 - Jerry Reuss pitches an 8-0 no-hitter for the Dodgers against the Giants at Candlestick Park. Reuss, who strikes out only two but doesn't walk a batter, is deprived of a perfect game when shortstop Bill Russell throws wildly to first base on Jack Clark's easy grounder in the first inning.

    1982 - The Braves tie a major league mark with seven double plays as the team defeats the Reds, 2-0.

    1984 - Although he has stolen only one base all season, Dusty Baker is unstoppable on the base paths as he steals second, third and home in the Giants' 12-9 victory over the Reds at Candlestick Park.

    1986 - Give him an 'A' for effort. San Francisco second baseman Robby Thompson is caught stealing four times in the Giants' 7-6, 12-inning win over the Reds, establishing a new major league record. Thompson was thrown out by Bo Diaz in the fourth, sixth, ninth and 11th innings.

    1987 - A's rookie Mark McGwire hits three home runs and drives in five runs helping to defeat the Indians, 13-3.

    1993 - Anthony Young sets a major league record losing his 24th straight decision as the Cardinals beat the Mets, 5-3.

    1999 - In front of 56,530 fans, the 1,765th and last major league game is played at the Kingdome with the Mariners beating the Rangers, 5-2. The final contest at 'the Accident on the Occidental' features a round-tripper and a home run saving catch by Ken Griffey, Jr.


    2002 - As part of a six-player deal, the Indians trade their #1 starter, right hander Bartolo Colon, to the Expos for first baseman Lee Stevens, three minor league prospects and cash. In exchange, Cleveland gets top prospect Brandon Phillips as well as southpaw Cliff Lee and flycatcher Grady Sizemore.

    2003 - In the 50-minute bottom of the first inning at Fenway Park against the Marlins, the Red Sox establish a major league record by scoring 10 runs before making an out. Lead-off hitter Johnny Damon, with a single, double and triple, ties a major league mark with three hits in an inning as the home team equals an American League record for most runs scored in the first frame with 14.

    2008 - In a 15-6 Mets victory of the Yankees at the Stadium, Carlos Delgado, with a double, three-run homer and a grand slam, establishes a new team record with 9 RBIs in one game. The first baseman, who breaks Dave Kingman’s 1976 club mark, also surpasses Sky King on the all-time home run list with the first of his two homers, moving into 34th place with his 443rd career round-tripper.

    2010 - In a surprising swap between last-place teams, the Indians send Russell Branyan back to the Mariners in exchange for Class AAA outfielder Ezequiel Carrera and shortstop Juan Diaz. The trade allows the Tribe to put Matt LaPorta, a highly touted rookie acquired from Milwaukee in the trade for C.C. Sabathia two years ago, at first base, and for Seattle, the move is seen as a signal that GM Jack Zduriencik wants his players to know that winning is still a priority for the under-achieving M’s.

    2010 - Phillies southpaw Jamie Moyer surpasses Hall of Famer Robin Roberts for allowing the most home runs in a career. In his 11-2 victory over Toronto, 47-year old starter yields a two-run homer to Vernon Wells in the third inning for his record breaking 506th gopher ball.

    2010 - In the fifth inning of an eventual 2-1 Rays’ loss to Arizona, Evan Longoria confronts B.J. Upton in the dugout after the outfielder doesn’t appear to hustle after Rusty Ryal’s deep drive to left-center field allowing the hit to become a triple. The nose-to-nose exchange becomes heated and Upton, who takes exception to his third baseman’s criticism, needs to be restrained by teammates.

    2011 - Citing MLB refusal to sign off on a transaction that would provide the team with $385 million, the Dodgers file for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court. Although there will be no disruption to the day-to-day status of the franchise, the Chapter 11 financing permits the Dodgers to use $150 million for daily operations and gives owner Frank McCourt time to seek a media deal that will ensure the club's long-term financial stability.

    2016 - Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant becomes the third major leaguer ever to collect five extra-base hits in one game, and the first to do so with three home runs and two doubles. The 24 year-old Chicago infielder's Great American Ball Park offensive output joins the ranks of Ranger outfielder Josh Hamilton (Camden Yards, 2012) and Braves first baseman Joe Adcock (Ebbets Field, 1954), who both hit four homers and a double to accomplish the feat.

Today In White Sox History - June 27th


 

June 27, 1958 - On a Friday night at Comiskey Park, White Sox pitcher Billy Pierce came within an out of a perfect game.  With two outs in the ninth inning, the Washington Senators pinch-hitter Ed Fitz Gerald doubled down the first base line.  Pierce shook off the missed perfect game as he struck out the next hitter to end the game as the White Sox win 3- 0.

       On June 28 in Baseball History...


    1907 - Yankees' catcher Branch Rickey is behind the plate as the Senators steal 13 bases in one game. Although not a terrific player, 'the Mahatma' will become one of the premier baseball administrators in the history of the game.

    1910 - At Palace of the Fans, Joe Tinker steals home twice becoming the first major leaguer to accomplish the feat in the same game. The Cubs' shortstop thievery helps Chicago beat the Reds, 11-1.

    1911 - After playing home games at the Highlanders' Hilltop Park for the past six weeks, the Giants return to the Polo Grounds with a 3-0 victory over Boston. Their home, devastated by an April fire, re-opens with temporary wooden stands to be used for the remainder of the year until a renovated structure made of steel and concrete is completed for the 1912 season.

    1913 - Due to the relocation of the Covington, Kentucky (formerly Cincinnati) franchise to Kansas City, organized baseball declares war on the new independent Federal League. Kansas City is considered territory of the American Association.

    1919 - Red Sox right-hander Carl Mays hurls two complete games beating the Yandkees, 2-0, in the first game and losing the nightcap, 4-1. The submariner will be traded to the Yankees at the end of July.

    1939 - In a twin bill sweep at Shibe Park, the Yankees set the major league record for home runs in a game and in a doubleheader. The Bronx Bombers hit 8 homers in the opener and another 5 in the night cap on their way to routing the A's, 23-2 and 10-0.

    1949 - Joe DiMaggio returns to the line-up after missing the first 69 games of the season due to an ailing heel. The Yankee Clipper will hit four home runs in a three-game sweep against the Red Sox.

    1959 - In a 6-0 loss to the Giants, Wally Post becomes the first major leaguer to throw out two runners from the outfield in one inning. In the bottom of the first, the Phillies' outfielder nails Orlando Cepeda at second base and then starts a 9-6-3 double play on Daryl Spencer's fly ball to right field.

    1969 - After ending an 11-game losing streak in their previous contest, the expansion Padres are the victims of a 19-0 shutout for the second time this season when Dodgers right-hander Don Drysdale equals the National League-record for the largest margin of victory in a shutout. L.A. will score more than half of their runs when they tally ten times in the third inning.

    1970 - In the final games played at Forbes Field, the Pirates sweep a doubleheader from the Cubs, 3-2 and 4-1 in front of 40,198 fans, to gain a first place tie with the Mets. The old ballpark in Pittsburgh served as the Bucs' home since 1909.

    1976 - Mark 'the Bird' Fidrych amuses a “Monday Night Baseball” national television audience talking to the baseball as he one-hits the Yankees, 5-1 in under two hours. The unsung Tigers rookie, who made the team on the final cut of spring training, will finish the season with a 19-9 record.


    1979 - The Giants trade Bill Madlock, along with Lenny Randle and Dave Roberts to the Pirates for hurlers Ed Whitson, Fred Breining, and Al Holland. The ‘Mad Dog’ will play a pivotal role for Pittsburgh this season, batting .328 in 88 games for the World Champion Bucs,

    1984 - Dwight Evans completes a cycle with a walk-off home run becoming only the fourth major league player to accomplish the feat. The Red Sox outfielder's game-ending three-run blast in the 11th inning gives Boston a dramatic 9-6 victory over Seattle at Fenway Park.

    1986 - Phil Niekro of the Cleveland Indians and Don Sutton of the California Angels became the first 300-game winners to start against each other in this century. Neither Niekro nor Sutton got a decision as the Angels scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to win, 9-3.

    1987 - Mark McGwire homered twice to tie a major league record with five homers over two games, and Steve Ontiveros pitched a two-hitter as the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians, 10-0.

    1987 - In a seven-game day, American League batters combined to hit a record 28 home runs.

    1989 - In an area known as Camden Yards, the razing of structures on the 85-acre parcel of land begins to make room for a new ballpark for the Orioles in downtown Baltimore. The fan-friendly baseball-only facility, which will make debut in April of 1992, will set the standard for all new ballparks to be built in the future as teams try copy the "retro" look done so successfully by the HOK architectural firm.

    1991 - In the Reds' 8-5 victory over Houston at Riverfront Stadium‚ Barry Larkin hits three consecutive home runs to join Ernie Banks (1955 Cubs) and Fred Patek (1980 Angels) as the only shortstops to to go deep three times in a game. The trio of round-trippers also gives the future Hall of Famer a major league record-tying five homers over a two-game span.

    1994 - Matt Williams tied Willie Stargell's 1971 N.L. record for home runs before July with his 28th in San Francisco's 7-4 loss to Los Angeles.

    1996 - Darryl Strawberry's 300th career round-tripper is a dramatic ninth inning, two-run dinger which gives the Yankees a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Royals.

    2000 - Jeff Cirillo hits three homers, doubles, drives in six runs and scores five times as the Rockies beat San Francisco in a slugfest, 17-13.

    2000 - The Rockies draw their 20 millionth fan to one ballpark faster than any other team in major league history. Taking less than six years, Colorado eclipses the Dodgers' mark of taking nine years in two stadiums to reach the milestone.

    2001 - After 20 seasons in San Diego, Padre outfielder Tony Gwynn announces he'll retire at the end of the season. The future Hall of Famer has the highest lifetime batting average (.338) among all active players.

    2004 - The Tampa Bay Devil Rays sold Jose Bautista to the Kansas City Royals.

    2004 - In a 14-6 win over the Expos at Citizens Bank Park, David Bell becomes the seventh player in Phillies’ history to hit for the cycle. The Philadelphia third baseman joins his grandfather Gus Bell (1951) as the only grandson and grandfather combination to accomplish the feat.

    2006 - Losing to the White Sox, 4-3, the Pirates set a team record with their 13th consecutive defeat. The 1939 Bucs had held the dubious mark losing 12 in row during their 68-85 sixth place finish in the National League.


    2006 - With his worst outing in the two seasons with the Mets, Pedro Martinez is routed by his former teammates in his return to Fenway as the BoSox maul the Mets, 10-2. The crowd, who chanted "Pedro! Pedro!" before the game, showed their appreciation of the Dominican's history as a Red Sox player with a standing ovation during yesterday's video tribute which highlighted the right-hander's achievements with Boston.

    2007 - Frank Thomas hits a three-run homer off Twins hurler Carlos Silva in the first inning of the Blue Jays' 8-5 loss at the Metrodome to become the 21st major leaguer to hit 500 home runs. The 'Big Hurt', who has hit 50 homers (10%) against the Twins, also hit his first home run of his career in Minnesota in 1990 when he was a rookie with the White Sox.



    2007 - With the third of his five hits in the Astros' 8-5 victory over the Colorado at Minute Maid Park, Craig Biggio collects his 3000th hit to become the 27th major leaguer to reach the plateau, and the ninth player to do it with the same team. The milestone is reached in the seventh inning with a single off Aaron Cook, but the Houston second baseman is thrown out trying to stretch historic hit into a double.


    2008 - In Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers, without the benefit of a hit for the entire game, defeat the Angels, 1-0. The combined losing effort of Halos hurlers Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo isn’t considered officially as a no-hitter because the home team didn’t have to bat in the ninth.

    2009 - The Seattle Mariners traded Mike Morse to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Ryan Langerhans.

    2009 - Mariano Rivera joins Trevor Hoffman in becoming only the second pitcher to record 500 major league saves. The right-hander reliever, who also registered his first RBI of his 15-year career, reached the milestone by getting the last four outs in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Mets at Citi Field.

    2010 - In a scene reminiscent of Dave Dravecky breaking his arm in 1989 as a result of throwing a ball to a batter, Tiger reliever Joel Zumaya crumbles to his knees in extreme pain after releasing a pitch in a game against Minnesota at Target Field. The hard-throwing right-hander will miss the remainder of the season, but because there is no ligament damage to his elbow, the prognosis for next season is optimistic.

    2010 - The Cubs place Carlos Zambrano on the restricted list after the right-hander is suspended for three games for his recent dugout tirade when he had to be separated from teammate Derrek Lee in the visitors' dugout after surrendering four runs to the White Sox in the bottom of the first inning at U.S. Cellular Field. The excitable hurler is scheduled be evaluated by doctors mutually selected by Major League Baseball and the players' union.


    2010 - The Cubs honor Ron Santo for his 50 years in baseball. The former third baseman and current WGN radio analyst receives a white flag with "Santo 50" printed in the team’s colors that is autographed by the players, a photo of the Wrigley Field marquee with the message, "Thank you Ron for 50 great years", and the seventy-year old will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch as well as sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch.

    2011 - After playing 299 games without a grand slam, the Mets hit two bases full homers in the span of seven at-bats during their 14-3 rout of Detroit at Comerica Park. Jason Bay breaks the nearly two-year drought with a fourth inning round-tripper, and Carlos Beltran goes deep six batters later in the fifth frame.

    2011 - The Colorado Rockies released third baseman Josh Fields.

    2012 - During an on-field ceremony prior to the game against Arizona at Turner Field, the Braves honor Chipper Jones, who was officially inducted into the Braves' Hall of Fame earlier in the day. Joining team legends Hank Aaron (44), Warren Spahn (21), Eddie Mathews (44), Phil Niekro (35), Dale Murphy (3), Greg Maddux (31), Tom Glavine (47), John Smoltz (29), and Bobby Cox (6), the 40 year-old Atlanta third baseman, who will finish his 19-year career when the season ends, becomes the tenth person to have his number retired by the franchise when his jersey #10 is unveiled on the outfield wall.


    2013 - The Cincinnati Reds released Mark Prior.

    2015 - Steven Matz, who goes 3-for-3 at the plate, becomes the first pitcher to drive in four runs in his major league debut, delivering a two-run double in his first at-bat and then driving in another pair with a sixth-inning single. The Mets' 24 year-old rookie right-hander from Stony Brook, NY, gives up five hits and two runs in 7.2 innings en route to earning his first victory when the Mets beat Cincinnati at Citi Field, 7-2

This Date In White Sox History - June 28th



June 28, 1993 - In the first of what would become a series of major public relations disasters, the White Sox release Carlton Fisk on the road in Cleveland. Fisk accompanied the team to Ohio only to be told of his release before the game. No question, Fisk was finished as a player but the fans and media were outraged at the way the Sox handled the situation. In fact, the White Sox sent faxes to the media announcing the move, not even having the courtesy to hold a press conference. Fisk had to say his goodbyes to his former teammates from the stands at Municipal Stadium during that evening’s game before returning to Chicago.

Fisk and Donn Pall would than later be denied access to the Sox clubhouse to wish their former teammates well before the 1st game of the A.L.C.S. that October exacerbating the situation.

     On June 29 in Baseball History...


1897 - The Chicago Colts (Cubs) of the National League establish the record for most runs scored in a game by one team when they clobber the Louisville Colonels, 36-7. The Cardinals will beat the Phillies 28-6 at Philadelphia's Baker Bowl in 1929 to set the modern NL mark.

1905 - With the Giants leading the Superbas, 11-1, Archibald ‘Moonlight’ Graham makes his major league debut in the bottom of the eighth inning as a defensive replacement in right field at Brooklyn’s Washington Park. The career minor leaguer, who will not have a major league at-bat in his only appearance in the big leagues, will become immortalized by W.P. Kinsella’s book "Shoeless Joe" and the movie based on the author’s work, "Field of Dreams."

1909 - The Pirates play their last game at Exposition Park defeating the Cubs, 8-1, in front of 5,545 fans. Tomorrow the team will leave the small and cramped ballpark on the north side of the Allegheny River to play at Forbes Field, baseball's first stadium to be constructed with concrete and steel.

1912 - Rube Marquard's NL-record consecutive game winning streak (20th Century) goes to an amazing 18-0 as he tops Boston‚ 8-6‚ for New York's 12th straight win over the hapless Braves.

1913 - Only one baseball is used during the Reds' 9-6 win over the Cubs at Redland Field. There are no home runs or foul balls which land in the stands during the contest.

1915 - Led by Tris Speaker's 5-for-5‚ the Red Sox trip the Yankees‚ 4-3‚ in 10 innings. Babe Ruth gets the win‚ going all the way before Sheriff Gainer hits for him in the 10th.

1916 - The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds played a nine-inning game with just one baseball.

1923 - Brooklyn's Jack Fournier went 6-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and three singles. The Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 14-5.

1933 - n the second inning of St. Louis' 7-3 victory over New York, Ethan Allen races around the bases for an inside-the-park home run at the Polo Grounds, but is called out for batting out of turn costing Joe Medwick his turn at the plate. Then the Cardinal outfielder bats for himself in the correct order, but grounds out.

1935 - Cardinals' outfielder Joe Medwick hits for the cycle, but Cincinnati beats the 'Gas House Gang' and Daffy Dean, 8-6. 'Ducky' will be elected into the Hall of Fame in 1968.

1937 - In a 10-2 loss to Brooklyn, Chicago's first baseman Ripper Collins does not make a putout during the nine-inning game. Although this is just the third occurrence of the rare feat, it is the second time for the Cubs infielder, who also didn't make a putout playing first for the Cardinals in a game played against the Braves two seasons ago.

1941 - In a doubleheader with the Senators, Joe DiMaggio ties and then breaks the American League consecutive game hitting streak of 41 established by George Sisler. In the opener he knots the record with a double off Dutch Leonard, and in the nightcap 'the Yankee Clipper' tops the record with a seventh inning single against Walt Masterson.

1945 - After being traded by Brooklyn to the Phillies for Johnny Pea**** two weeks ago, Ben Chapman is named player-manager of his new team replacing Fred Fitzsimmons. During his tenure, the Tennessean tactician will compile a 196-276 record (.415) finishing in the second division each of the four seasons he manages.

1950 - At Philadelphia's Shibe Park, the Red Sox outslug the A's, 22-14. The two-hour and fifty minute contest establishes a new American League record with a combined total of 36 runs scored in one game.

1950 - In an effort to thwart the ML's signing of black players‚ Dr. J. B. Martin‚ the president of the Chicago Giants of the Negro American League‚ instructs manager‚ Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe to sign white players. Radcliffe inks three white players‚ teenagers Lou Chirban‚ Lou Clarizio and Al Dubetts. Later in the year he will sign at least two others (Stanley Miarka and Frank Dyall). However‚ their Negro League careers will be brief.

1955 - Willie Mays hits the first grand slam of his career‚ off Clem Labine‚ and accounts for all the RBI in a 6-1 Giant win over Brooklyn. Roy Campanella has a broken spur in his knee and will miss 2 weeks.

1960 - The Phillies strike out a dozen times in each end of a doubleheader when they are swept by the Dodgers at Connie Mack Stadium, 6-3 and 5-2. The 24 K's tie a major league record for strike outs in a twin bill.

1961 - With three home runs at Philadelphia, including a tenth-inning shot to win 8-7, Willie Mays becomes the fourth major-league player with three or more home runs twice in one season. Manager Gene Mauch's efforts to conceal his starting pitcher and force Alvin Dark's hand has a Phillies lineup including hurlers Don Ferrarese (batting leadoff, playing center field), Jim Owens (third, right field), Chris Short (seventh, catcher), and Ken Lehman (ninth, pitcher) against San Francisco. When Dark sends a lefty to the mound, Mauch replaces Ferrarese. Dark then replaces Billy O'Dell with Sam Jones. Mauch replaces Lehman with Dallas Green after two batters. All the maneuvering takes three hours and twenty (20) minutes.

1968 - Detroit's Jim Northrup hit his third grand slam in a week and the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2.

1969 - On Billy Williams Day in Chicago, the Cubs outfielder passes Stan Musial's National League record for consecutive games played (896). The Cubs sweep the Cardinals 3-1 and 12-1 before 41,060.

1972 - The A's send Denny McLain to the Braves for future Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda making it the first time teams have swapped former MVPs. Due to knee problems, Cepeda will come to bat only three times with Oakland, and McLain will post a 3-5 record with Atlanta.

1975 - During a twin bill with the Padres, the Reds establish a major league record by playing 14 consecutive games without an error, a streak which will be extended to 15. The previous mark of 12 straight games was established by the Tigers in 1963.

1977 - Willie Stargell hits his 400th career home run, this one coming off Eric Rasmussen of the Cardinals.

1984 - Pete Rose plays in his 3,309th major-league game, surpassing Carl Yastrzemski as the all-time leader. Rose goes 0-for-5, but Montreal beats Cincinnati 7-3.

1984 - Andre David hits his only big league home run in his first major league at-bat, a two-run home run off Jack Morris to propel Minnesota to a 5-3 victory over Detroit. The second-inning shot helps to put an end to Black Jack's 11-game win streak over the Twins.

1986 - The White Sox trade veteran right-hander Tom Seaver to the Red Sox for Steve Lyons. 'Tom Terrific' will finish his Hall of Fame career this season in Boston, but he will not pitch in the World Series against the Mets, his first major league team that still refers to him as the 'Franchise'.


1986 - Detroit beats Milwaukee 9-5 in the first game of a doubleheader split, making Tigers manager Sparky Anderson the first manager ever to win six-hundred games in each league.

1987 - In the first game of Philadelphia's doubleheader sweep of Pittsburgh, Steve Bedrosian records his twelfth consecutive save (in twelve appearances) to break the major-league record set by Sparky Lyle in 1975.

1989 - Boise Hawks' manager Mal Finchman is suspended for one game for returning to the field after being ejected in the sixth inning disguised as the team's mascot Humphrey the Hawk. The feathery impostor is able to give instructions to his team for the remainder the Northwest League contest against Salem.

1990 - Oakland's Dave Stewart and the Dodgers Fernando Valenzuela both throw no-hitters. Stewart blanks the Blue Jays 5-0, and a few hours later Valenzuela beats the Cardinals 6-0.

1992 - Oakland's Dennis Eckersley sets the new standard with his twenty-sixth straight save of the season.

1995 - The Dodgers' Hideo Nomo struck out thirteen Colorado Rockies in a 3-0 victory, giving him fifty (50) strikeouts in four (4) games. That broke the Los Angeles record of forty-nine (49) over four (4) games accomplished three (3) times by Sandy Koufax, the last thirty (30) years earlier.

2000 - On his much awaited return to Shea Stadium, John Rocker pitches a perfect eighth inning in front of 46,998 booing fans helping the Braves to stop the Mets' winning streak at seven, 6-4. Prior to the game the Atlanta reliever read a statement apologizing for his inappropriate comments about New Yorkers which appeared in the off season in Sports Illustrated.

2000 - After trying to get Juan Gonzalez and Sammy Sosa to bolster their failing offense, the Yankees acquire David Justice from the Indians for Ricky Ledee and two players to be named later.

2001 - The San Francisco Giants traded Alan Embree and cash to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Derek Hasselhoff.


2003 - Eric Byrnes hit for the cycle and matched a franchise record with five hits in Oakland's 5-2 win over San Francisco.

2004 - At Bank One Ballpark, Diamondbacks’ 40-year old fireballer Randy Johnson records his 4,000 career strikeout whiffing Padres' third baseman Jeff Cirillo, a fellow USC Trojan, to become the fourth player in major league baseball history to reach the plateau. The ‘Big Unit’ (3,237 1/3) needs less innings than Nolan Ryan (3,844 2/3), Roger Clemens (4,151), and Steve Carlton (4,991 1/3) to accomplish the feat.

2005 - Craig Biggio breaks Don Baylor’s record for being hit by a pitch as he is plunked for the 268th time in his career. At Coors Field, Rockies starter Byung-Hyun Kim hits the Astros' second baseman on the left elbow in the fourth inning to establish a new mark, both literally and figuratively.


2007 - With a triple in the second inning, a double in the fourth, a three-run home run in the next frame, and a bloop single in the seventh, Aubrey Huff becomes the third player to hit for the cycle since the franchise moved to Baltimore in 1954. The southpaw-swinging first baseman joins Cal Ripken (1984) and Brooks Robinson (1960) as the only other Orioles to accomplish the feat, and the first to do it in front of the home crowd.

2010 - Minutes before the game against the Mets in San Juan’s Hiram Bithorn Stadium, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria tells his players at an impromptu team meeting that the club has decided to retain interim manager Edwin Rodriguez to the end of the season. Rodriguez, the first Puerto Rican manager in the major leagues, ironically is told of the decision when Florida is playing a series in Puerto Rico, five minutes away from his home.

2010 - In the Twins' 11-4 victory over Detroit at Target Field, Denard Span ties a major league record when he hits three triples in one game. Although the mark is shared by many other major leaguers, Ken Landreaux is the only other Minnesota player to have accomplished the feat, hitting three three-baggers in a 1980 contest.

2010 - South Carolina wins the College World Series when Whit Merrifield's 11th-inning RBI single beats UCLA, 2-1, giving the school its first NCAA team national championship in any men's sport. The Gamec0cks set a CWS record with six consecutive wins after losing their first game, becoming only the third club ever to record that many victories in the collegiate tourney.


2012 - In the Diamondbacks' 9-3 victory over Milwaukee at Miller Park, Aaron Hill becomes the first modern-era player to hit for the cycle twice in one season since Babe Herman accomplished the feat with the Brooklyn Robins in 1931. Eleven days ago in Seattle, the Arizona second baseman also collected a single, double, triple and home run in the game.

2012 - The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Yasiel Puig as a non-drafted free agent.

2012 - The Chicago White Sox signed Shane Lindsay as a free agent.


2014 - In the longest game (by time) in Cubs’ history, John Baker becomes the first position player to earn a victory since Oriole first baseman Chris Davis accomplished the feat in 2012. In the six hour and 27 minute marathon played at Wrigley Field, the backup catcher tosses a scoreless 16th inning and then scores the winning run in the bottom of the frame, giving Chicago a 4-3 victory over Colorado.

2015 - Joc Pederson becomes the third rookie in major league history to hit 20 home runs before July when he goes deep off Allen Webster in the Dodgers’ 10-6 loss to Arizona at Chase Field. The 23 year-old center fielder joins Wally Berger (Braves, 1930) and Albert Pujols (Cardinals, 2001) in accomplishing the feat as a freshman.

2016 - The Texas Rangers claimed Eric Surkamp from the Oakland Athletics on waivers.

2016 - The Washington Nationals signed Mat Latos as a free agent.

2017 - The Chicago White Sox signed Rob Brantly as a free agent.

          On June 30 in Baseball History...


1894 - Fred Clarke makes his major league debut going 5-for-5 for the Louisville Colonels. The future Hall of Famer collects four singles and a triple.

1903 - At Chicago‚ the White Sox jump on Boston starter Nick Altrock for 8 runs in the 1st inning. Chicago has 7 hits and 3 walks. Altrock finishes the game‚ a 10-3 Chicago win‚ for his only complete game in a Boston uniform. Chicago must like what they see: they purchase Altrock on July 2nd.

1908 - Cy Young's third career no-hitter is an 8-0 Boston win over New York. At 41 years and three months, he is the oldest pitcher to turn the no-hit trick. Nolan Ryan will beat him in 1990 at the age of 43.

1909 - The Cubs spoil the Pirates' debut at Forbes Field, 3-2. The new state-of-the-art ballpark, named for General John Forbes who was an officer in the French and Indian War, is the first stadium to be made completely of steel and poured concrete.

1920 - The White Sox swamp the Tigers 14-0 on 18 hits. Detroit tosses in the towel after 4 innings and pitching coach Jack Coombs‚ who last toed a rubber two years ago‚ tosses the last five innings. He allows just 2 runs. Red Faber allows five hits in the shut out‚ while Eddie Collins has four hits‚ three runs‚ and two steals.

1922 - Brooklyn and Boston play 9 innings in one hour: 12 minutes‚ with Boston winning 3-2. Neither pitcher‚ Leon Cadore or Dana Fillingim‚ record a strikeout or walk a man‚ and neither catcher‚ DeBerry and Gowdy have a putout or assist‚ though each have passed balls.

1927 - Alphonse "Tommy" Thomas pitches a 5-1 win over the Browns‚ the 6th time this season that the White Sox pitcher has beaten St. Louis. He last beat them on June 22. Lefty Stewart‚ who gives up a homer to Earl Sheely in the 6th‚ takes the loss.

1934 - In a 4-3‚ 10-inning loss to the Browns‚ Tiger CF Gee Walker is picked off base twice on the same play‚ earning him a 10-day suspension for his ineptitude. After Hank Greenberg singles‚ Walker reaches base on a error‚ but then gets caught off base when C Rollie Hemsley fires to 1B. Greenberg attempts to draw a throw by running to 3B and is thrown out‚ with Walker taking 2B. Moments later‚ with Walker standing 6 feet off the bag "as brave as a boy on a burning deck" (writer Charles P. Ward's description)‚ pitcher Jack Knott's throw to SS Alan Strange nabs him. Cochrane is so furious he suspends Walker and fines him $20-the 6th time this season that has earned a $20 fine. Gee's next appearance won't come until July 16 when he pinch hits for Cochrane.

1938 - The Phillies lose the final game to be played at the Philadelphia’s Baker Bowl bowing to the Giants, 14-1. New York center fielder Hank Lieber hits the last homer in the history of the 51-year old ballpark.

1948 - In his first full season as a pitcher‚ Bob Lemon of the Cleveland Indians pitches a no-hitter‚ beating the Detroit Tigers 2-0 in front of 49‚628 at Briggs Stadium. Lemon has only two scares: Dale Mitchell makes a miraculous catch of a George Kell drive in the 4th and Ken Keltner makes a great stop behind 3B in the 5th. This is the first no-hitter pitched at night.

1949 - In Chicago‚ Ruth Ann Steinhagen is arraigned for shooting Eddie Waitkus. Waitkus‚ in a wheel chair‚ testifies at the hearing. A jury finds her criminally insane and by early afternoon she is on her way to Kankakee State mental hospital. She'll remain there till April 17‚ 1952.  The attack on Waitkus  was the real-life inspiration for Bernard Malamud's The Natural.

1950 - St. Louis Browns stalwart P Ned Garver loses the game because of his mental error against the White Sox. In what would have been the winning run in regulation‚ Garver is called out for his failure to touch 3B when rounding it. He loses 3-2 in 13 innings.

1959 - In Chicago, two balls are in play at the same time. On a wild pitch from pitcher Bob Anderson, Stan Musial draws a walk. As the pitch gets by catcher Sammy Taylor, Musial tries for second base. Umpire Vic Delmore puts another ball in play by mistake. Taylor promptly throws the ball into center field. Third baseman Al Dark, who chased down the original ball, throws to shortstop Ernie Banks, who tags out a confused Musial. After a 10-minute conference, the umpires agree that Musial is out. Delmore will be fired because of the boner.

1961 - Whitey Ford becomes the first pitcher in American League history to win eight games in one month. 'Slick's' complete-game 5-1 victory over the Senators is the Yankees' 22nd win in June.

1962 - Due to an unusually thick fog at Colt Stadium, the game against the Reds is called after seven innings giving the Colt .45’s a 7-3 victory over Cincinnati. The shortened contest allows Houston’s skipper Harry Craft to get to the hospital in time for the birth of his first daughter.

1962 - Sandy Koufax becomes the first Dodger southpaw to throw a no-hitter since Nap Rucker accomplished the feat in 1908 when he keeps the expansion Mets hitless in the team's 5-0 victory in Los Angeles. The 26 year-old left-hander, en route to fanning 13, strikes out the first three batters he faces - Richie Ashburn, Rod Kanehl, and Felix Mantilla- on nine pitches to start the game with an immaculate inning.


1967 - Cookie Rojas, who joined the Phillies in 1964, plays his ninth different position for the team when he takes the mound in a 12-3 loss to San Francisco. In his ninth inning appearance, the all-star infielder allows no runs and gives up just one hit, ending the frame by getting future Hall of Famer Willie Mays to to fly out to right field in the Connie Mack Stadium contest.

1970 - A sellout crowd of 51,050 is on hand for the dedication of Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, but Hank Aaron spoils the show as he hits the park's first home run. The Braves win 8-2.

1973 - With an 8-7 extra-inning loss to L.A. at Riverfront Stadium, the Reds finish the day 11 games behind the first-place Dodgers. Led by the eventual National League MVP Pete Rose, who will win the batting title with a .338 average, Cincinnati will go on a 60-26 tear to capture the Western Division by 3.5 games.

1977 - At Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, Cliff Johnson joins Joe DiMaggio and Joe Pepitone as the only players in Yankee history to hit two home runs in the same inning. The designated hitter goes deep twice in the eighth as the Bronx Bombers score eight runs in an 11-5 win over the Blue Jays.

1978 - Larry Doby becomes the second black major league manager, replacing Bob Lemon as skipper of the White Sox. Chicago has a 34-40 record at the time, and will go 37-50 the rest of the way.

1978 - On an 0-2 pitch from Atlanta Braves pitcher Jamie Easterly, Giant first baseman Willie McCovey launches his 500th career home run over the left field fence at Fulton County Stadium becoming the 12th player to accomplish the feat. The historic homer occurs in the second inning of the opener of a doubleheader which the Giants sweep, 10-9 and 10-5.

1985 - Dodgers' slugger Pedro Guerrero ties a major league record by hitting 15 home runs in the month of June.

1986 - Auburn outstanding football star Bo Jackson makes his pro baseball debut with the Memphis Chicks. The 1985 Heisman Trophy winner goes 1-for-4.

1988 - Alarmed by the White Sox' threatened move to St. Petersburg, Florida, lawmakers in Illinois grant state subsidies for a new stadium to replace venerable but decaying Comiskey Park.

1993 - No mas. 70-year-old Minnie Minoso‚ signed by Mike Veeck‚ appears as a DH for the St. Paul Saints in a game against Thunder Bay in the independent Northern League. Minoso grounds back to pitcher Yoshi Seo in his only at bat.

1994 - Giants center fielder Darren Lewis commits his first major league error to break his record of 392 flawless games in the outfield.

1995 - Eddie Murray collects his 3,000th career hit against Minnesota's Mike Trombley in a 4-1 Cleveland win at the Metrodome. The Indians slugger is the 20th player to reach the milestone and the third in franchise history to do it wearing a Cleveland uniform.

1997 - Rangers' hurler Bobby Witt becomes the first American League pitcher to hit a home run in a regular-season game in nearly 25 years. His round tripper off Ismael Valdes helps Texas to beat the Dodgers in interleague action, 3-2.

1998 - With an eighth-inning homer against the Diamondbacks, Cubs' slugger Sammy Sosa extends his major league record for home runs in a month, hitting his 20th round-tripper in June.

1999 - The Blue Jays defeat the Orioles‚ 10-9 in 10 innings‚ as Willie Greene ties an AL record by hitting a PH HR in 2 consecutive at bats. His previous pinch HR came against the Royals on June 20th. Greene's HR in the bottom of the 9th ties the score at 7-7. The Orioles score 2 in the top half of the 10th‚ but the Blue Jays come back with 3 runs in their half of the inning to win.

2000 - Trailing 8-2 with two outs in the eighth-inning, Mike Piazza's tie-breaking three-run homer completes a 10-run miracle comeback as the Mets stun the Braves, 11-8. Nine of the runs were driven in with two outs and the ten runs equal the most ever scored in an inning by the Mets.

2001 - In his hometown of Waterbury, Connecticut, Roger Connor is honored with a four-foot-high marble monument at St. Joseph's Cemetery. The gravestone, which also includes the names of his wife and grandson, notes that the one-time all-time home run leader is a member of baseball's Hall of Fame.


2002 - The Yankees become the first team in the American League since the 1956 White Sox to have four infielders and a catcher on the All-star roster. The fans vote for first baseman Jason Giambi, second baseman Alfonso Soriano and backstop Jorge Posada to be starters in the Midsummer Classic with shortstop Derek Jeter and third baseman Robin Ventura being selected by AL skipper Joe Torre.


2004 - For the third straight game, the Tigers win thanks to a walk-off home run. Following the lead of teammates Eric Munson and Carlos Pena in the two previous games, Dmitri Young hits a two-run dinger in the 11th inning to beat the Indians, 9-7.

2005 - The Rangers pound the Angels‚ 18-5‚ as Kevin Mench hits 3 HRs in 3 successive innings and drives home 5 runs. He's just the 8th major leaguer to hit three in three straight innings. The last was Shea Hillenbrand‚ in 2003.

2005 - After loading the bases in the top of the ninth, Chad Cordero gets Ryan Doumit to fly out to deep right field to record his 15th save of the month tying the Nationals closer with Lee Smith and John Wetteland for the most in a single month. Washington's 7-5 victory over Pittsburgh at RFK Stadium puts the first place team 4.5 games ahead of Atlanta.

2006 - Trailing by 3 runs, the Reds defeat the Indians, 9-8, on Adam Dunn’s walkoff grand slam with 2 outs in the 9th inning. Dunn’s ultimate slam, off Bob Wickman, is just the 15th in ML history.

2006 - In the fastest game ever played in the seven-year history of Seattle's Safeco Field, the hometown Mariners are defeated by Colorado, 2-0. Colorado starter Josh Fogg faces the minimum 27 batters tossing a two hitter in the one-hour, 52 minutes contest, also the quickest in Rockies' history.

2006 - In a 5-2 loss to the Marlins, which stops their winning streak at 11, the Red Sox play their 17th consecutive errorless game. The accomplishment establishes a new big league mark, surpassing the Cardinals, who played 16 straight error-free games in 1992.

2007 - Jacoby Ellsbury, making his debut starting in centerfield at Fenway Park, becomes the first person from the Navajo tribe to play in the major leagues. The 23-year old member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, who will play a significant role in the Red Sox World Championship batting .360 in 11 total postseason games, is put out by the catcher unassisted in his first big league at-bat.

2007 - In a pre-game ceremony on Disability Awareness Night, the Fenway faithful show their support for the cause when they assist a young man with autism. The enthusiastic Red Sox crowd of 38,000 fans continue singing the national anthem when the nervous singer has trouble getting through the songs.


2008 - A pair of demolition companies, which agree to work free of charge in exchange for the scrap-metal, begin knocking down Tiger Stadium, startng with bleachers in left-center field. The 96-year old ballpark has been vacant since the Tigers started playing in nearby Comerica Park nearly nine summers ago.


2012 - In the Padres' 8-4 victory over Colorado, Yasmani Grandal becomes the first player to homer from both sides of the plate for his first two major league hits. The San Diego catcher, who had one at-bat in his debut four weeks ago against Arizona, flew out in the second inning before connecting for his historic homers in the fourth and sixth frames of the Coors Field's contest.

2012 - The Philadelphia Phillies traded Jim Thome to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Gabriel Lino and Kyle Simon.

2012 - The Chicago Cubs signed Jorge Soler as a non-drafted free agent.

2013 - On the day of Seattle's 39th annual Pride Parade, the Mariners become the first major league team to fly a rainbow gay pride flag. The move comes a few days after the Supreme Court's landmark decision declaring the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.

2014 - Joining Alan Trammel, who is at ballpark as part of the team's celebration of 30th anniversary of its 1984 World Championship, Rajai Davis becomes just the second Tigers player since World War II to hit a game-ending grand slam with his team trailing by three runs in the bottom of the ninth. The 33 year-old outfielder goes deep off  Oakland's Sean Doolittle, who hangs a curve ball that gives Detroit the dramatic 5-4 victory in front a sold-out Comerica Park.

2015 - Chris Sale, making his 100th career start, becomes only the second major league pitcher to record 10-plus strikeouts in eight straight starts when he whiffs 12 batters in the White Sox’s 2-1 extra-inning victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The 26 year-old southpaw joins Pedro Martinez, who also accomplish the feat in 1999 with the Red Sox.


2016 - Coastal Carolina wins its first national championship in any sport with a 4-3 victory over Arizona in Game 3 of the College World Series finals. The Chanticleers become the first team in sixty years win the title in its first CWS appearance, a feat also accomplished by Minnesota in 1956.

Today In White Sox History - June 30th



June 30, 1988 - After years of saying that the original Comiskey Park was outdated, Sox owners Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn come very close to moving the team to the Tampa Bay / St. Petersburg, Florida area.   Legislators from the State of Illinois narrowly approved a proposal for a new state-financed stadium and a lease deal that would save the team $60 million and kept the White Sox from moving to St. Petersburg, Florida. St. Petersburg has begun construction on an $80 million domed stadium. The State Senate in Springfield passed the stadium bill by a 30-26 vote about 20 minutes before midnight, then sent it on to the General Assembly, where Gov. James Thompson was involved in political maneuvering on the last day the Legislature was in session.

The money for the ball park, would come from a 2 percent city hotel-motel tax, estimated to be worth at least $8 million a year. The city would add $5 million annually in revenue-sharing funds, and the state would contribute $5 million in hotel-motel tax revenues.

Meanwhile Florida baseball fans are stunned as they realize they have been used as a pawn to get a new facility by the power brokers and politicians of Chicago.

This Date In White Sox History - June 30th





June 30, 2008 - White Sox outfielder Nick Swisher becomes only the 2nd player in franchise history to homer from both sides of the plate twice in the same season when he hits two in a 9 – 7 win over Cleveland. Swisher did it the first time a few weeks earlier in a game against the Twins. Only Jose Valentin had ever done that before and he did it three times between 2000 and 2003.

On July 1 in Baseball History...


1859 - In the first college baseball game ever played, Amherst defeats their archrival, Williams College, 73-32 (66-32 by some reports). The game is played near the corner of North Street and Maplewood Avenue in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

1902 -  Playing his first game for Connie Mack's A's, Rube Waddell faces only 27 batters blanking the Orioles, 2–0. The 25-year old southpaw strikes out the side three times by whiffing Billy Gilbert, Harry Howell, and John Cronin in the 3rd (on just nine pitches) 6th, and 9th innings.

1903 - Cy Young drives in the contest's lone run when he blanks the Pale Hose at Chicago's South Side Park, 1-0. The shutout, his fourth consecutive complete game without allowing a run, is the Boston American right-hander's third 1-0 victory in a span of nine days.

1910 - White Sox Park opens with a 2-0 loss to the Browns. The stadium, which becomes known as Comiskey Park, cost $750,000 to build. The stadium will be the oldest in baseball when it is closed in 1990 and replaced by a new structure called Comiskey Park.


1914 - Harry Kingman, son of the New York Congregationalist missionary and chaplain at Pomona College, becomes the first person born in China to play in a major league game. The 22-year old Yankees first baseman from Tientsini, goes hitless in his only three big league at-bats, but reaches first on a base-on-balls.

1916 - At age 42 years and four months, Honus Wagner is the oldest player to hit an inside-the-park home run. He connects for the Pirates in the fourth inning at Cincinnati.

1920 - Walter Johnson pitches his first no-hitter. An error by Bucky Harris costs him a perfect game, but Harris' hit drives in Washington's only run against the Red Sox at Fenway. The next day Johnson comes up with the first sore arm of his life and is useless for the rest of the year, finishing 8-10.

1920 - Leaving Robison Field in mid-season, the Cardinals make their debut as the home team at Sportman's Park, also the home of the American League's St. Louis Browns, bowing to the Pirates, 6-2. After signing a ten-year lease for $20,000 annually with Browns' president Phil Ball, the team moves six blocks to be able to play its home games in a modern ballpark.

1923 - In the opener of a Western League doubleheader‚ the first 4 batters for Wichita all hit homers. The sluggers include Lyman Smith‚ Jocko Conlon‚ Wes Griffin‚ and Jim Blakesley off Wichita's Karl Black. Only Jocko will make it to the majors.

1927 - The Browns outslug the White Sox‚ 18 hits to 16‚ and win‚ 14-12. St. Louis is led by George Sisler and Ken Williams‚ each with 4 hits‚ while Chicago gets 2 doubles and a homer from Bibb Falk. Bert Cole‚ battered for 6 hits in the Browns' 6-run 6th‚ takes the loss. Brownie starter Ernie Nevers last just 3 innings‚ but is awarded the win.


1931 - At Philadelphia‚ Chuck Klein knocks in 5 runs as he hits for the cycle to lead the Phils to a 11-6 win over the Cubs. The Phils pull off a triple play‚ the first time that's happened in a game in which a player cycles.

1934 - At Crosley Field‚ the Cardinals outlast the Reds 8-6 in an 18-inning first game of a double bill in Cincinnati. Dizzy Dean and Tony Frietas duel for 17 innings. Joe Medwick homers in the 17th‚ the first scoring since the 9th‚ but the Reds tie it up in the bottom of the inning. The Cards plate 2 runs in the 18th off Paul Derringer to win‚ though it takes a running catch by Medwick with the bases full to finish the game.

1934 - Bill Terry leads all vote-getters in All-Star balloting with Babe Ruth of the Yankees getting the most votes in the American League. Giants' first baseman will also be the skipper of National League team.

1941 - Despite the 95 degree weather‚ 52‚832 are on hand at Yankee Stadium to watch Joe DiMaggio lead a sweep of the Red Sox‚ 7-2 and 9-2. The 2nd game is called after 5 innings. DiMaggio has 2 hits in the first game‚ off Mike Ryba‚ and one in the 2nd‚ off Jack Wilson‚ to tie Willie Keeler's ML batting streak of 44 games. The Yankees have 25 hits in the 2 games but fail to add a HR among their 15 hits in the first game. This ends their AL streak of 25 consecutive games with at least one HR. The previous record‚ set by the Tigers in 1940‚ was 17 games and the Tigers will take back the record in 1994. During the streak the Bombers have connected for 40 homers‚ 9 by DiMaggio.

1942 - The 1st 7 batters in the first inning score for Cleveland and the Tribe wins 7-2 over the host White Sox. Five hits‚ a walk and an error send Orval Grove to a quick shower. His replacement Jake Wade gives up an RBI single but only allows 2 hits the rest of the way. Al Smith is the winner. Smith will win 10 games this year‚ as will Al Hollingsworth‚ the top number of victories for a lefty in 1942.


1943 - The Sporting News begins using a tabloid format as a means of saving newsprint. "The Bible of Baseball", which was established in 1886, became the dominant voice and major source of information for serious fans of the national pastime.

1943 - Although the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League's will not have an official All-Star Game until 1946, two teams, one composed of South Bend Blue Sox and Rockford Peaches players and the other made up of players from the Kenosha Comets and Racine Belles, put on an exhibition game under the lights at Wrigley Field. The AAGPBL contest is the first night game ever played in the historic Chicago ballpark.

1945 - The first of the superstars returns from the war. Hank Greenberg, gone for four years, homers in his first game following his release from the Army. Charlie Gassaway of the Athletics gives up the blow before 47,700 in a 9-5 win at Briggs Stadium.

1948 - Brooklyn's Roy Campanella makes his debut, catching Ralph Branca. Campy doubles in his first at-bat and adds two singles, but the Giants win 6-4.

1950 - 'Eddye' Ford's Yankee debut is less than impressive as he gives up five runs on seven hits and walks six in 4 2/3 innings of relief against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The lefty will go on to become the winningest pitcher in franchise history and will be better known as Whitey.

1951 - Bob Feller pitches the third no-hitter of his career, tying the record of Cy Young and Larry Corcoran, as he beats Detroit's Bob Cain 2-1.

1953 - Mel Parnell win his 100 career game as Boston blanks the Bronx Bombers at Yankee Stadium, 4-0. Joining Cy Young, Joe Wood, Lefty Grove and Joe Dobson, the southpaw from New Orleans becomes the fifth Red Sox hurler in franchise history to reach the milestone.

1954 -  Joe Cunningham of the Cards hits two home runs in a game against Milwaukee, giving him a record three roundtrippers in his first two days in the major leagues. In his first seven at-bats, he has nine RBI

1956 - Before a PCL game at Lane Field in San Diego‚ Rocky Colavito takes aim at Don Grate's throwing record of 443+ feet. Rocky tops out on a throw over the CF fence at 435 feet‚ 10 inches. Grate will improve his mark to 445 feet 1 inch on Fan Appreciation Night in Minneapolis. He'll take 6 steps before each throw. (as noted by historian Bill O'Neal)

1957 - Orioles' pitcher George Zuverink and catcher Frank Zupo form the first 'Z' battery in major league history as the Yankees beat the Birds, 3-2.

1958 - The Cubs Tony Taylor hits a ball inside the 3B line that falls into the rain gutter in fair territory at Wrigley Field. San Francisco rookie OF Leon Wagner chases the ball‚ but is fooled by Cubs relief pitchers staring intently under the bench. Wagner neglects to look for the ball in the gutter 40 to 50 feet further down. Taylor reaches home with the inside-the-park drive to help the Cubs win 9-5.

1960 - H. Gabriel Murphy's option of first-refusal to buy the Senators from current owner Calvin Griffith expires. The chief minority stockholder, in an effort to stop the club from moving to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to become the Twins, will lose two court decisions preventing him from keeping the team in Washington, D.C.

1961 - The Senators stake rookie Carl Mathias to a 3-0 lead over New York‚ but a Mickey Mantle solo shot‚ a few feet left of the 456-foot sign in left at Yankee Stadium‚ puts New York on the board. The Nats up the score to 5-1‚ but Mantle then bangs a 3-run homer to make it 5-4 and knock out Mathias [who in his 11 ML games will give up 3 homers to Mantle]. In the 9th‚ Roger Maris poles a 2-run homer‚ his 28th‚ to give New York a 7-6 victory.

1964 - Five thousand cabbies and their families are on hand at Yankee Stadium to celebrate 'Taxi Day' at the Bronx ballpark. Billy Bryan's 11th inning solo home run is the decisive blow in Kansas City's 5-4 Wednesday afternoon victory.

1967 - Baltimore's Jim Palmer gives up a grand slam-but it's in the minors. Sent to Rochester (International League) to rehabilitate from back problems‚ Rochester manager Earl Weaver starts the 21-year-old against Buffalo‚ in a game moved to Niagara Falls because of racial disturbances on Buffalo's east side. Palmer is given a 7-0 lead‚ but the Bisons score 5 runs in the 3rd‚ four coming home on a grand slam by Johnny Bench. Rochester hangs on to win‚ 10-8.

1968 - A first-inning wild pitch allows a run to break Bob Gibson's streak of 47 2/3 innings of scoreless pitching, but the Cards beat the Dodgers 8-1. Gibson will pitch 23 innings before giving up another run.

1973 - Luis Aparicio of the Red Sox steals the 500th base of his career in a 9-5 loss to Milwaukee. It is the highest total in the AL since Eddie Collins retired in 1930.

1973 - At California‚ the Twins' Jim Kaat fires a one-hitter to beat the Angels‚ 2-1. Frank Robinson's HR in the 2nd is the only hit. This is the 2nd time in his career that Robby hits a HR to break up a no hitter: he did it July 30‚ 1971 against KC's Dick Drago.

1976 - The Indians paste the Toledo Mud Hens 13-1 in an exhibition game in Toledo. Manager Frank Robinson‚ hitting as the DH‚ flies out to CF and‚ while returning to the dugout‚ exchanges angry words with Hens P Bob Reynolds. Suddenly‚ Robby flattens Reynolds with a right-left combination and is quickly ejected from the game.

1982 - Considered a questionable decision at the time because of his height, Cal Ripken is moved from third base to shortstop by Oriole manager Earl Weaver. The 6'4" future Hall of Famer takes over the job from veteran infielder Mark Belanger, an eight-time Gold Glover at the position.

1982 - At Pawtucket’s McCoy Stadium, Mark Fidrych, mounting one more attempt to return to the majors, and Dave Righetti, the AL Rookie of the Year who was sent down by the Yankees to Triple-A Columbus to get straightened out after a slow start in his sophomore season, match up in one of the most memorable games ever played in the minor leagues. The chanting and cheering overflow crowd of 9,389, packed into the ballpark designed to accommodate 5,800 fans, vocally displays their support for the ‘Bird’ throughout the game, and becomes delirious when he strikes out Butch Hobson for the final out in his improbable complete-game 7-5 victory.


1983 - Arbitrator Raymond Goetz rules that the 43 players who were on the Disabled List during the 1981 players' strike are not entitled to their salaries for that period. The decision saves the club owners about $2.5 million.

1984 - Royals pitcher Paul Splittorff, whose 166 victories in 13 seasons are the most in club history, retires.

1991 - During a 14-7 Orioles rout of the Angels, the teams tie a major league record slugging 11 home runs during the Camden Yards contest. O's starter Mike Mussina gives up all of the Halos round-trippers to tie Jim Palmer's club record of giving 5 in a game.

1994 - The Orioles and Angels combine to hit a major league record-tying 11 HRs in a contest won by Baltimore‚ 14-7. The Orioles smash 6 of the round-trippers and the Angels hit 5. It is the 8th 11-HR game in history. Surprisingly‚ none of the homers go as far as 400 feet.

1997 - After hitting a bouncer down the Astrodome's first base line, Tim Bogar comes all the way around to score when Manny Ramirez doesn't play the ball after it comes to a stop under the bullpen bench. The Indians outfielder, unaware of the park's ground rules, begins signaling to the umpire that the ball is out of play as the Astros infielder circles the bases for an easy inside-the-park home run.

1997 - Collecting his 26th save in 27 chances this season, Randy Myers records the 300th save of his career when he strikes out the side in the Orioles' 4-1 victory over Philadelphia at Camden Yards. The 34 year-old closer, who will finish with 347 saves during his 19 years in the major league leagues with six different teams, is the ninth reliever and second southpaw in the history of the game to reach the milestone.

1998 - During Houston's 10-4 win over the White Sox‚ a wild pitch bounces into the pocket of home plate umpire Gerry Davis‚ allowing Chicago's Ray Durham to score while Astros catcher Brad Ausmus scurries around the plate trying to find the ball. Says Ausmus: ``I asked (Davis) if I was supposed to pick him up and throw him in front of the runner."(San Angelo Standard). Shaun Berry is 4-for-4 including a homer‚ while teammate Jeff Bagwell has a HR and scores 3 times.


1999 - The Brewers defeat the Cubs‚ 19-12‚ as SS Jose Valentin hits 2-run HRs from each side of the plate. 2B Ron Belliard and C Dave Nilsson each get 4 hits for Milwaukee‚ while Belliard drives home 5 runs. The Brewer light up Steve Trachsel for 10 runs in 3.2 innings pitched‚ hanging his NL high 11th loss on him. The Brew Crew collects 21 hits for the 2nd times in 3 nights. There are 8 homers in the game‚ including a pair by Cubs Mickey Morandini. Not homering after 4 straight games in which he went deep is Sammy Sosa‚ who singles twice.

2000 - On the country's 133rd birthday, a Canada Day pitching match up features a pair of Canadian starters in Montreal as Marlin Ryan Dempster, a native of British Columbia defeats Mike Johnson of Edmonton and the Expos, 6-5.

2000 - Whitey Herzog, the winningest manager in franchise's history, and Willie Wilson, an speedy outfielder who was an offensive spark plug, become members of the Kansas City Royals' Hall of Fame.

2000 - BARK, Baseball Aquatic Retrieval Korps debut at Pac Bell. Six Portuguese water dogs will be used to retrieve Splashdown home runs hit by the Giants and their opponents which land in McCovey's Cove.

2003 - The Marlins set a franchise mark for runs scored and tie a team record with 25 hits, with Miguel Cabrera, Ivan Rodriguez and Luis Castillo collecting four each. The celebration of the 20-1 victory over the Braves is tempered when a photographer is injured and is airlifted to a hospital as a result of being hit by Darren Bragg's bat which slips from the outfielder's hand and flies into the stands.

2003 - After spending a disappointing season and a half in New York, Roberto Alomar is traded by the Mets with cash to the White Sox for prospect Andrew Salvo, right-hander Edwin Almonte and southpaw Royce Ring. The 12-time Gold Glove second baseman's funk continues in the American League when the former All-Star infielder hits just .253 with Chicago.

2003 - Just a few hours after obtaining Roberto Alomar from the Mets, the White Sox acquire outfielder Carl Everett (.274, 18, 51) from the Rangers. Texas will pick two or three players from a Chicago minor league pool, and the team will also give money to help pay part of the former outfielder's $9.15 million deal.

2005 - After walking 2,100 miles from Camp Verde, Arizona to reach Wrigley Field, Bill Holden throws the ceremonial first pitch and leads the crowd singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the seventh- inning stretch at the Nationals-Cubs game. Inspired by the DVD, This Old Cub, a documentary about former Chicago All-Star third baseman Ron Santo, who lost both his legs to diabetes, the 56-year old school teacher, with two bad knees, pounded the pavement for 172 days and raised $250,000 with his ‘Walk the Walk’ campaign for juvenile diabetes research.

2006 - The Orioles down the Braves, 7-4. Baltimore’s Miguel Tejada plays in his 1,000th consecutive game, the longest active streak in the ML.

2006 - The Red Sox hook the Marlins, 11–5, as David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez each hit two homers and drive in nine of the 11 runs. Mike Lowell has three doubles. The Sox make two errors, however, ending their ML record streak of 17 straight games without an error. They will have 108 games without errors for the season, a ML mark, and field .9891, also a record.

2008 - In the shortest nine-inning game in the history of Coors Field, Aaron Cook throws only 79 pitches in the one hour, 58 minute contest. The right-hander’s five-hitter snaps the Rockies eight- game losing streak with the 4-0 victory over the visiting Padres.

2009 - In the Red Sox 6-5 victory at Camden Yards, Jonathan Papelbon retires the Baltimore batters in order in the 11th inning to become the franchise's all-time leader in in saves. The 28-year-old closer, who surpasses Bob Stanley for the club record, has compiled 133 saves during his four years with the club.

2011 - In the seventh inning of a 5-0 inter-league victory of the Angels in Anaheim, Dee Gordon steals second and third base and then completes the stolen base cycle by swiping home. The Dodger shortstop becomes the 40th major leaguer to accomplish the trifecta in the same frame.

2013 - Prior to the game at Citi Field, the Mets and Diamondbacks honor the 19 firefighters killed while battling a wildfire in Yarnell, Arizona with a moment of silence. Additionally, each team hangs a jersey with the word Yarnell stitched on the back above the number 19 in their respective dugouts.

2014 - Rick Porcello becomes the fourth pitcher in Tiger history, and the first since Dizzy Trout in 1944, to throw a shutout without issuing a walk or recording a strikeout when he blanks Oakland, 3-0. The Detroit right-hander, who records 17 groundball outs and 10 in the air in his 95-pitch outing, is the first major league hurler to accomplish the rare feat since Jeff Ballard's performance for Baltimore on August 21, 1989. 

2014 - The Chicago White Sox released Maikel Cleto.

2014 - The Chicago White Sox released Mitchell Boggs.


2015 - The Miami Marlins released Jon Link.

2016 - The Indians win their 14th consecutive game, establishing the team's longest winning streak in franchise history when they beat the Blue Jays, 2-1, in a 19-inning marathon played at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Next season, the Tribe will not only shattered their club mark but will set an American League record with 22 consecutive victories.

2016 - The first co-ed pro team in nearly 20 years takes the field when 17-year-old outfielder Kelsie Whitmore and 25-year-old pitcher Stacy Piagno play for the Sonoma Stompers against the San Rafael Pacifics in front of enthusiastic and supportive sell-out crowd at Arnold Field. The two former members of the USA women's baseball squad are first females to play in a professional game since Ila Borders pitched for the St. Paul Saints in the independent Northern League in 1997.

Today In White Sox History - July 1st




July 1, 1910 - The new White Sox Park opens‚ decorated with thousands of yards of bunting. Five bands are on hand and the mayor presents a banner to Charles Comiskey. The stadium‚ later called Comiskey Park‚ is baseball's biggest and costs $750‚000 to build. 24‚900 attend the game‚ 1‚100 less than capacity‚ and see Sox ace Ed Walsh lose 2-0 to the Browns.

This Date In White Sox History - July 1st





July 1, 1962 - In the second game of a doubleheader sweep of the Indians at Comiskey Park, the White Sox (Juan Pizarro, Nellie Fox and Al Smith) become the first team in major league history to record three run-scoring sacrifice flies in one inning. Three fly balls to Gene Green, two which are dropped by the Cleveland right fielder, sets up the unprecedented occurrence.

July 1, 1990 -  Yankees Andy Hawkins throws the season's 6th no-hitter‚ but still loses 4-0 to the White Sox. With 2 out in the bottom of the 8th‚ New York's Mike Blowers misplays Sammy Sosa's routine grounder for an error‚ and Hawkins walks 2 to load the bases. Outfielders Jim Leyritz and Jesse Barfield drop back-to-back fly balls to allow all 4 runs to score. Barfield loses Ivan Calderon's fly ball in the sun and the ball bounces off his mitt. The right-hander is not credited with an official no-hitter because a pitcher must pitch at least nine innings to be credited with a no-no. Ken Johnson in 1964 was the last pitcher to lose a no-hitter.

           On July 2 in Baseball History...

1903 - Pitcher Jack Doscher, making his debut with the Chicago Cubs, is the first son of a former major-league player to also play in the major leagues. His father, Herm, was a third base with Troy, Chicago, and Cleveland before the turn of the century.

1903 - Ed Delahanty, who once hit four homers in one game, goes over a Niagara Falls' railroad bridge and drowns. The circumstances concerning the Senators' outfielder death are never discovered.

1909 - The White Sox stole 12 bases, including home plate three times, in a 15-3 rout of the St, Louis Browns.

1930 - Carl Reynolds becomes the only second player in big league history to homer in three consecutive innings when he goes deep in first three frames of the 15-4 White Sox victory over the hometown Yankees. The Chicago outfielder's power surge includes two inside-the-park round trippers.


1933 - The Giants sweep a doubleheader from the Cardinals with identical 1-0 scores. In the 18-inning opener, Carl Hubbell throws a six-hitter with Roy Parmelee out pitching Dizzy Dean in the night cap.

1934 - At Wrigley Field, veteran ump Bill Klem's delayed call of the infield fly rule leads the Cardinals to protest their game with the Cubs. The game is suspended with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning with the Cubs ahead 5-1, and will be completed on the last day of the month with St. Louis losing with the final score of 7-4.

1941 - On a sweltering day in front of 52,832 fans at Yankee Stadium, Joe DiMaggio hits a three-run homer off Red Sox hurler Dick Newsome to extend his consecutive game hitting streak to 45 games. The 'Yankee Clipper' surpasses Wee Willie Keeler's 1897 major league mark of 44 straight games with a hit accomplished when the diminutive outfielder played with the Orioles.

1950 - Bob Feller, wins his 200th major-league game, a 5-3 Cleveland win over Detroit in the second game of a doubleheader split.

1951 - Bill Veeck gets the necessary 75 percent of outstanding stock on the last day of his option to buy the St. Louis Browns from Bill and Charlie DeWitt.

1962 - Dodger pitcher Johnny Podres ties a National League record with eight consecutive strikeouts in a 5-1 victory over the Phillies.

1963 - At 12:31 A.M. in San Francisco, Willie Mays homers off Warren Spahn in the bottom of the 16th inning to give Juan Marichal a 1-0 victory in the National League's longest game ended by a home run.

1967 - After Chicago's 4-1 victory over Cincinnati at Wrigley Field, many of the 40,464 patrons stay in the ballpark awaiting the outcome of the Cards/Mets game. When the results are posted with a New York win, which puts the Cubs in first place by half of a game, the enthusiastic fans refuse to leave the 'Friendly Confines' until the flags above the scoreboard are changed, a task usually done the next day, to reflect the home team's position at the top of the standings.

1969 - Reds' pitcher Jerry Arrigo ties a major league mark when he hits his third Brave batter in the second inning of a 9-4 victory. The Braves also tie the major league mark by hitting five batters in one game.

1970 - Detroit's Joe Niekro no-hits the Yankees until Horace Clarke singles in the ninth inning as the Tigers win 5-0. This is the third time in the month that Clarke has broken up a no-hitter, having spoiled bids by Kansas City's Jim Rooker (June 4) and Boston's Sonny Siebert (June 19).

1976 - The Astros tie a franchise record banging out 25 hits in a 10-8 victory over Cincinnati at Riverfront Stadium. Two months earlier, Houston established the mark in a 16-5 rout of Atlanta.

1978 - With a 3-2 Yankee victory over the Tigers at the stadium, southpaw Ron Guidry improves his record to 13-0. It is the best start in franchise history.

1979 - Don Kessinger (46–60) is fired mid-season as the player-manager of the White Sox, and will be replaced by rookie skipper Tony La Russa, who had been managing the club's Triple-A Iowa Oaks in the American Association. During his eight-year tenure with Chicago, La Russa will compile a 522-510 record with his team winning the AL West title in 1983.

1985 - Astros' hurler Joe Niekro notches his 200th career victory. The Niekro brothers (Joe & Phil) will join the Perrys (Jim & Gaylord) as the only brothers to win at least 200 games per pitcher.

1986 - After 14 wins, Roger Clemens suffer his first loss as Toronto scores three times in the eighth inning to down Boston 4-2. Clemens was one game short of the American League record for consecutive wins at the start of a season.

1987 - Jim Eisenreich, making a comeback after being forced out of the major leagues by a nervous disorder in 1984, hits his first Major League home run since 1982 to lead the Royals to a 10-3 win over his former club, the Twins.

1993 - At Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, the latest game in major league history ends at 4:40 am as relief pitcher Mitch Williams, in his first at-bat of the season, singles home the winning run in the tenth inning giving the Phillies a 6-5 victory over the Padres. The game, which started at 1:26 am due to the three rain delays in Game 1 of the twin bill, eclipses the 3:35 mark established in Atlanta on July 4, 1985 in game which ended with fireworks after the Mets beat the Braves in 19 innings, 16-13.


1993 - In a pre-game ceremony at the ballpark, Royals Stadium is officially renamed to honor of Ewing M. Kauffman, the team's owner since the club's inception in 1968. The 77-year old philanthropist, who humbly discouraged the name change, will die within a month.

1995 - Dodger right hander Hideo Nomo, who is leading the National League in strikeouts, becomes the first player from Japan to be selected for the major league All-Star game.

1995 - On the day the Yankees celebrate Babe Ruth's hundredth birthday, a frail Mickey Mantle's bids the fans a farewell in recorded message on the Bronx ballpark's Jumbotron. The diminished former superstar, who will succumb to liver cancer in 22 days, tells the crowd, "I feel like Phil Rizzuto in Babe Ruth's uniform".

1999 - National League President Len Coleman suspends Tom Hallion for three games without pay for bumping Colorado catcher Jeff Reed and pitching coach Milt May during an argument. It the first time an umpire is suspended for an on-field dispute.

2000 - After hitting two home runs in a 2-1 victory over the Expos, Marlins' outfielder Mark Smith becomes a hero for the second time this day when he pulls a man from a smoke-filled car minutes before the car explodes.

2000 - At Shea Stadium, Mets' fan Gregory Sweeney is arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after he throws a ball back onto the field which Braves reliever John Rocker had tossed into the stands. In a few day later, the 26-year old Brooklyn man will be exonerated as Queens District Attorney Richard Brown concludes Mr. Sweeney had no criminal intent and was doing nothing more than following a baseball tradition of returning an unsolicited and unwanted souvenir.

2002 - Fifty-three major league players hit a record 62 home runs breaking the mark of 57 established on April 7, 2000. The barrage includes a record-tying dozen hit at Chicago's Comiskey Park by the White Sox and the Tigers, the same two teams which set the major league record for homers in a game with 12 at Tiger Stadium in 1995.


2002 - At Coors Field every Giants starter gets at least one hit with the #8 hitter Tsuyoshi Shinjo going 5-for-6 with a pair of home runs including a first inning grand slam. The former Japanese big leaguer will finish the season hitting just two more homers and driving in nine more runs.

2004 - Suffering through their worst season since their inception in 1998, the Diamondbacks replace manager Bob Brenly with third-base coach Al Pedrique. The former skipper of the Arizona's Triple-A Tucson Sidewinders, becomes the second Venezuelan to manage in the big leagues.

2005 - In one of the most severe penalties ever imposed by the commissioner’s office for on-field behavior, Kenny Rogers is suspended for 20 games and fined $50,000 for actions which sends a cameraman to the hospital and launches a police investigation.

2007 - With skipper Joe Torre watching from the Yankee dugout, Roger Clemens, throwing eight innings of two-hit ball of a 5-1 win over the Twins, becomes the eighth pitcher to record 350 career victories. The New York manager was the catcher for Warren Spahn's 350th win making him a participant of the only two occasions that a pitcher has reached the milestone since 1928.

2013 - The Chicago Cubs traded Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger to the Baltimore Orioles inexchange for Jake Arrieta, Pedro Strop and cash.

2013 - The Chicago Cubs traded Carlos Marmol and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Matt Guerrier.

Last September, the 27 year-old Cincinnati right-hander, the youngest pitcher to have pitched two no-hitters in his career, hurled the first no-hitter in PNC Park history, a dramatic 1-0 victory over the hometown Pirates.


2017 - The Toronto Blue Jays traded Jason Grilli and cash to Texas Rangers in exchange for Eduard Pinto.
