This Date In White Sox History - July 2nd


 

July 2, 1980 - White Sox radio announcer Jimmy Piersall attacked Daily Herald sportswriter Rob Gallas after Gallas wrote a story speculating why Piersall was fired as a part time Sox coach. Spectators had to physically jump in and pull Piersall away. At the time Piersall was choking Gallas. Yes, this is the same Rob Gallas who later would become the White Sox Marketing Director, responsible for ‘Turn Back The Clock Day’, ‘Beatles Night’, ‘Elvis Night’ and ‘Dog Day Afternoon’. Later on that same day, the White Sox Ross Baumgarten would one hit the Angels, winning 1 - 0. Rod Carew got California’s only hit, on a single leading off the 7th inning.

This Date In MLB History - July 2nd











July 2, 1963 - In one of baseball's most memorable pitching duels, San Francisco Giants' Juan Marichal hurls 16 scoreless innings and his counterpart the Milwaukee Braves' Warren Spahn pitches 15 1/3 scoreless innings before Willie Mays ends the marathon with a walk-off homer off Spahnie in the bottom of the 16th giving San Francisco the win.

Marichal's manager, Alvin Dark, visited the mound in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 14th innings, and was talked out of removing Marichal each time. During the 14th-inning visit, Marichal told Dark, "Do you see that man pitching for the other side? Do you know that man is 42 years old? I'm only 25. If that man is on the mound, nobody is going to take me out of here." Marichal ended up throwing 227 pitches in the complete game 1-0 win, while Spahn threw 201 in the loss, allowing nine hits and one walk. Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell, who was in attendance that night, said of Spahn, "He ought to will his body to medical science."

       On July 3 in Baseball History...

1912 - The Giants' Rube Marquard nips Nap Rucker and the Dodgers 2-1 to capture his 19th straight game of the season. With two end-of-year wins in 1911, he has 21 in a row in regular season play. Both marks are records.

1918 - Babe Ruth announces that he has joined the Chester team of the Delaware River Shipbuilding League and will not play for Boston. The Red Sox players are unperturbed and the Red Sox management threatens an injunction. Heinie Wagner tracks down the Babe in Baltimore and convinces him to return to the Sox. Meanwhile‚ the Ruth-less Sox unravel‚ losing 6-0 to the A' Vean Gregg. Gregg allows just one hit in the first six innings‚ and four overall.

1921 - In the Browns 5-1 loss to the White Sox, Jim Riley makes his ML debut, replacing Jimmy Austin late in the game. The Canadian Riley will go hitless in four games with the Browns and a couple with the Senators, but will finish second next year in scoring in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. Riley will make his NHL debut with the Chicago Black Hawks on January 19, 1927; he is the only athlete to play in both the major leagues and the NHL (as noted by Jeff Obermeyer).

1925 - Dodgers' second baseman Milt Stock sets a National League mark by having his fourth consecutive four-hit game.

1932 - With a Boston law that prohibited games from being played within 1000 feet of a church on Sundays now rescinded, the first Sunday game is played at Fenway Park with the Red Sox dropping a 13-2 decision. The team played its Sunday games at Braves Field on Commonwealth Avenue until the law was changed, having played their first home contest on the Christian day of worship on April 28, 1929.


1939 - Cardinal first baseman Johnny Mize accumulates 13 total bases hitting two home runs, a triple and a double. The 'Big Cat's' offensive output contributes to the Redbirds' 5-3 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

1945 - At Braves Field in Boston‚ the Cubs tally the most runs in their post-1900 history when they blast the Braves, 24-2. Phil Cavarretta‚ Don Johnson‚ and Stan Hack each score five times tying a major league mark.

1947 - The Indians purchase Larry Doby from the Newark Eagles. Two days later, the twenty-two year old will become the first black to play in the American League.

1948 - Dick Lane hits five homers in a Fort Wayne Central League game. The Muskegon slugger will finish the season with 12 round-trippers, and will never ht a home run in major league game

1949 - En route to a 16-0 shut out of the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds, starting pitcher Monte Kennedy hits a grand slam. It will be 51 years before another Giants hurler (Shawn Estes - 2000 ) hits a bases full home run.

1950 - With rookie Joe Collins not hitting and Tommy Henrich injured, Casey Stengel asks Joe DiMaggio to play first base in an experiment. In the 7-2 loss he handles 13 chances cleanly.

1958 - In their 35th home date in L.A., the transplanted Dodgers reach the one million mark in attendance. Last season, the team drew only 1,028,258 fans playing in Brooklyn's Ebbets Field.

1965 - After pinch-hitting a home run in a 10-8 loss to Cincinnati, Frank Thomas is placed on waivers by the Phillies. Prior to the Connie Mack Stadium game, he and third baseman Dick Allen are involved in an infamous fistfight which the Philadelphia players are not permitted to provide details of the incident to the press without facing a stiff fine imposed by the club.

1966 - Pitcher Tony Cloninger hits two grand slams and drives in nine runs as the Braves rout the Giants at Candlestick Park 17-3. Cloninger is the first National League player to hit two grand slams in a game, and his nine RBI set a Major League record for pitchers.

1967 - Billy Williams‚ Ron Santo‚ and Randy Hundley all homer for the Cubs in the first‚ and Rico Carty and Felipe Alou also go deep for the Braves in the same inning in Chicago's 12-6 victory at Atlanta Stadium. The five round-trippers at the 'Launching Pad' tie a major league record for home runs hit by two teams in the same inning, but it's the first time the feat has been accomplished in the opening frame.

1968 - Luis Tiant registers nineteen strikeouts in ten innings as Cleveland beats Minnesota 1-0. Tiant sets two modern major-league records: most strikeouts in a ten-inning game and 32 strikeouts in consecutive games.

1977 - On his 24th birthday, Angel left-hander Frank Tanana tosses his 14th consecutive complete game with his 6-4 victory over Oakland at Anaheim Stadium. The win improves the southpaw's record to 12-5, but he will finish the season at only 15-9 due to a 'tired' arm.

1980 - The ML's largest crowd in 7 years (73‚096) watches Wayne Garland 2-hit the Yankees 7-0 at Cleveland Stadium.

1987 - Paul Splittorff, the team's all-time leader in victories, is inducted into the Royals' Hall of Fame, along with late manager Dick Howser and infielder Cookie Rojas. The slender southpaw was the first player selected by the franchise to appear on its major league roster.

1988 - Oakland's Gene Nelson steals a base while pinch-running for Don Baylor in a 9-8, 16-inning win over Toronto, becoming the first American League pitcher to steal a base since Blue Moon Odom in 1973.

1994 - In a ceremony considered by many to be long overdue, the Indians retire the uniform number 14 that was worn by Hall of Famer Larry Doby, the first black to play in the American League. On this date exactly 47 years ago, Cleveland owner Bill Veeck purchased the 23 year-old from the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League.


1995 - In a slugfest at Coors Field, Andres Galarraga enjoys a 6-for-6 performance at the plate when the Rockies bang out 21 hits. The first baseman’s offensive output, which includes two homers and five RBIs, contributes to Colorado’s 15-10 victory over Houston.

1996 - In a 10-6 Mets victory over Philadelphia, Alex Ochoa enjoys a 5-for-5 day at Veterans Stadium. With his eighth inning homer, the 24-year old right fielder becomes the sixth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.

2001 - The Padres tie a National League record hitting four sacrifice flies in one game. The last one, lifted by shortstop D'Angelo Jimenez in the sixth inning, gives the Friars a 6-5 victory over Colorado at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium.

2002 - In an 11-8 loss to the Yankees, Jim Thome homers in his seventh consecutive game. The solo shot, off southpaw David Wells, leaves the Indians' slugger one shy of the major league record shared by Dale Long (1956, Pirates), Don Mattingly (Yankees, 1987) and Ken Griffey, Jr. (1993, Mariners).


2005 - During the fireworks display at Pawtucket’s McCoy Stadium, two shells misfire landing in the stands. Four or five employees of the Telstar Display Fireworks suffer minor burns, and some fans are injured when they stumble trying to escape from the mishap.

2006 - Barry Bonds (41), Steve Finley (41), and birthday boy Moises Alou (40) become the first trio of 40-year-olds to start a game in the same outfield. The senior flycatchers combine to go 4-for-11 along with two stolen bases to help the Giants defeat Philadelphia, 5-3.

2009 - Albert Pujols' 8th inning home run with the bases loaded proves to be the difference in the Cardinals' 7-4 victory over the Reds. The grand slam, the tenth of his career, establishes a new franchise record moving 'El Hombre' past Redbird Hall of Famer Stan Musial.

2010 - With homers in his first two at-bats, Twins' DH Jim Thome passes franchise legend Harmon Killebrew with 574 round-trippers and moves into tenth place on the all-time home run list. The team plays a previously recorded message from the much beloved Hall of Famer in which he congratulates the designated hitter on the career accomplishment.

2012 - The Boston Red Sox released Bobby Jenks.

2012 - Chicago White Sox released Will Ohman.

2013 - In his final attempt to play major league baseball after being given a 100-game suspension in 2011 for taking performance-enhancing drugs, Manny Ramirez agrees to a minor league deal with the Rangers.

2013 - Yasiel Puig becomes the first player to be named Player of the Month for the first month he plays in the major leagues in the 55-year history of the award. The Dodger outfielder played in 26 games in June, compiling a .436 batting average, with his 44 base hits being the second-most ever by a first-month player, only behind Joe DiMaggio's total of 48 in 1936.

2013 - The Baltimore Orioles released Jon Rauch.

2014 - Andrew Rector files a $10 million defamation suit in the Bronx Supreme Court against the Yankees, MLB, ESPN, and the broadcast's play-by-play man Dan Shulman and commentator John Kruk. The 26 year-old used car salesman claims the commentary and photos of him at the April 13th nationally televised Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium showed him in a false light, damaged his reputation, and the fact that he was napping was not an issue of legitimate public concern.

2014 - The Chicago White Sox released Scott Downs.


2015 - The Pittsburgh Pirates sold Clayton Richard to the Chicago Cubs.

2016 - The New York Yankees released Nick Swisher.

2016 - The first regular-season MLB game is played in North Carolina when the Marlins beat the Braves 5-4 at Fort Bragg.

Keith Hernandez hits for the cycle in a game that ends at 3:55 a.m. on July 5, the latest finish in Major League history.

2006 - Yankee owner George Steinbrenner's 76th birthday is less than festive, as the Indians provide all of the fireworks in 19-1 Independence Day rout over the Bronx Bombers.

2006 - Nomar Garciaparra ties the major league record for being hit by the pitch in a game as he is plunked three times by three different Diamondback pitchers in a 10-4 Los Angeles victory.

2009 - In his 4,145th big league at-bat, Adam Dunn hits his 300th career home run in Washington's 5-3 win over Atlanta at Nationals Park.

2011 - Shaun Marcum becomes the first Brewer pitcher to hit a grand slam for the franchise since 1969 when Fred Talbot accomplished the feat in the inaugural season of the Seattle Pilots, a year before the team moved to Milwaukee.

Today In White Sox History - July 4th


 

July 4, 1928 - Ray Schalk resigns as White Sox manager effective after today's doubleheader. Schalk then inserts himself into the first game's lineup as catcher‚ his only appearance of the year. Starting for the Sox is 23-year-old Ed Walsh Jr.‚ making his major league debut. Walsh's father pitched for years with Schalk as his catcher‚ making Schalk the only backstop to catch a father and a son in the majors. Young Ed's debut is forgettable as he gives up 5 runs to the Browns in 4 innings. Schalk leaves the game with Walsh and St. Louis wins 11-8. Schalk's managerial replacement is Lena Blackburne who will last one year and in 1930 will start selling his Rubbing Mud from the Delaware River to the AL for use in taking the shine off of baseballs. The NL will adopt it in the 1950s.

This Date In White Sox History - July 4th




July 4, 1972 - White Sox catcher Ed Herrmann is involved in three double plays which ties the record for most involving a catcher in a single game.

The Sox turn five double plays against Baltimore but lose 2-1.

Today In White Sox History - July 4th & 5th



July 4 - 5, 1964 - During the 1960's the White Sox were synonymous with outstanding pitching...pitching that was the envy of most of major league baseball (excluding only perhaps, the Dodgers) The best example of this were these two days in Chicago over the 4th of July holiday in 1964. In a time span of roughly 28 hours, the White Sox threw three straight complete game shutouts against the Indians. On the 4th of July itself, Gary Peters blanked the Tribe on three hits, winning 4 - 0. In the Sunday doubleheader it was Juan Pizarro in game one, tossing a seven hitter, winning 2 - 0. Then in the nightcap it was Joel Horlen with a 5 - 0 blanking on four hits. In 27 innings, Cleveland managed no runs on 14 hits. Now that’s pitching!!!

    On July 5 in Baseball History...


    1898 - Lizzie (Stroud) Arlington becomes the first woman to play organized baseball when she pitches for Reading in the Eastern League. Some believe she also pitched in Atlantic League exhibition games after being hired by Ed Barrow, the league's president.

    1904 - The Giants' 18-game winning streak ends when the Phillies prevail 6-5 in ten innings. The Giants record is now 53-18, effectively ending the National League race. At season's end, the Giants will refuse to play the postseason World Series against American League champion Boston.

    1921 - The Red Sox establish an American League record losing four consecutive doubleheaders with no other contests between the eight defeats. The dubious streak started with four losses to the Yankees in New York and continues at Fenway Park with another four to the Senators.

    1929 - At the Polo Grounds, the New York Giants become the first team to use a public address system.

    1935 - Tony and Al Cuccinello each hit a home run making it the first time in major league history that brothers on opposing teams have hit round trippers in the same game. Tony's Dodgers beat Al's Giants, 14-4.

    1937 - Hal Trosky hits three home runs helping the Indians beat the Browns, 14-4. The first baseman from Norway, Iowa will finish the season with 32 round-trippers.

    1937 - In the first game of a doubleheader, Frank Demaree goes 6-for-7 (three doubles and three singles) helping the Cubs edge the Cardinals, 13-12, in 14 innings. The Californian adds two more singles in Chicago's 9-7 victory in the nightcap.

    1945 - At the Polo Grounds‚ Giants' 18-year old rookie Whitey Lockman homers in his first major league at bat. The lefty-swinging center fielder goes deep off George Dockins in the 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    1947 - Striking out as a pinch hitter against White Sox hurler Earl Harrist, 22-year old Larry Doby of the Indians becomes the first black to appear in the American League. The former Newark Eagle standout will play in the major leagues for 13 years amassing 1,515 hits, just three less than Jackie Robinson.


    1951 - After sweeping the Giants in a three-game series, Dodgers manager Chuck Dressen declares, 'We knocked 'em out. They won't bother us anymore.' The Dodgers now lead the Giants by 7 1/2 games, but the Giants will have the last laugh.

    1952 - In their final season in Boston, the Braves play in front of the largest home crowd of the season when 13,405 fans watch Brooklyn beat their team for the 12th consecutive time, a 5-3 complete-game victory by Carl Erskine. The most memorable moment of the contest occurs in the second inning when the game is delayed because a small dog has to be escorted off the field by Dodger outfielders Carl Furillo and Duke Snider.

    1953 - Blanking the Pirates at Forbes Field, 2-0, Robin Roberts hurls his 28th consecutive complete game. The Phillies right-hander has finished every game he started since beating the Cardinals on August 28, 1952.

    1961 - Bill White hit three home runs and a double to power the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

    1965 - Dave Boswell and Jim Perry are the winning pitchers as the Twins sweep a doubleheader from Boston to move into first place for good.

    1969 - The Orioles break a three game losing streak when Dave McNally (12-0) wins his 14th consecutive game defeating Detroit, 9-3. Tigers' outfielder Mickey Stanley plays his 220th consecutive errorless game.

    1985 - Garry Templeton is intentionally walked four times by the Pirates tying a major league record set in 1962 by Yankee outfielder Roger Maris. The fourth free pass, issued in the 12th inning, leads to the Padres shortstop scoring a run, but Pittsburgh comes back with three tallies in the bottom of the frame to win the Three Rivers Stadium contest, 5-4.

    1987 - Mark McGwire became the first rookie to hit 30 homers before the All-Star break and Jose Canseco homered twice, leading Oakland to a 6-3 victory over Boston.

    1989 - Barry Bonds homers in Pittsburgh's 6-4 loss to the Giants, giving Barry and father Bobby the major league father-and-son home run record with 408. The Bells (Gus and Buddy) and the Berras (Yogi and Dale) had shared the record of 407.

    1989 - At the Oakland Coliseum, Mark McGwire hits his 100th career home run off of Royals' hurler Charlie Liebrandt. Big Mac's third inning three-run home run ties the score at 5-5, but the A's fall short, losing to Kansas City in extra innings, 12-9.

    1991 - The Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins receive unanimous approval from owners to join the National League in 1993.

    1993 - At Cleveland, A's outfielder Rickey Henderson becomes the second player in major league history to open both games of a twin bill with a home run. In a 1913 doubleheader played in Washington, Red Sox outfielder and future Hall of Famer Harry Hooper was the first to accomplish the feat.

    1997 - Prior to their game with Atlanta at Olympic Stadium, the Expos retire Andre Dawson's uniform number 10. During his 11-year tenure with Montreal, the future Hall of Fame outfielder once set the single-season club records for home runs (32), RBIs (113), extra base hits (78), and sacrifice flies (18).

    1998 - Defeating the Orioles 1-0, the Yankees improve their record to 61-20 equaling the best 81-game start in major league history. The mark matches the record of the 1902 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 1907 Chicago Cubs.

    1998 - Yankee right-hander Roger Clemens strikes out Devil Rays' outfielder Randy Winn to record his 3000th career strikeout. The 'Rocket' is the 11th pitcher in major league history to reach the coveted milestone.

    1998 - Juan Gonzalez becomes the second player in major league history to go over the 100 RBI mark before the All-Star game. The Rangers designated hitter's major league-leading total of 101 RBIs is second only to Tiger slugger who had 103 in 1935 and finished the season with 170.

    2000 - In a 12-9 comeback victory over Houston, Luis Gonzalez becomes the first Diamondback to hit for the cycle. The Arizona outfielder doubled in the first inning, singled in the third, tripled in the eighth and homered in the ninth to accomplish the feat.

    2001 - Pirates' skipper Lloyd McClendon is fined $1,000 for walking off the field with first base in the June 26 Brewers game. It's the first time a manager has been fined for 'stealing' a base.

    2002 - Baseball legend Ted Williams, considered by many the greatest hitter in the history of the game, dies of cardiac arrest at the age of 83. The first-ballot Hall of Famer, who was a lifetime .344 hitter, won the MVP award and Triple Crown twice, led American League in batting for six seasons, and hit .406 in 1941 during his 19-year career with the Red Sox.

    2004 - As a gesture to honor local military personnel, the Twins give away a G.I. Joe action figure to the first 5,000 children attending the game against Kansas City. The team, in an effort to appease protesting peace groups, who see the promotion as glorifying war, asks Hasbro, the toy’s manufacturer, to remove the customary gun from G.I. Joe’s side, but the hand grenades remain visible.

    2004 - At Dodger Stadium, Diamondback third baseman Chad Tracy's ninth inning run-scoring single on an 0-2 changeup ends Eric Gagne's record streak of 84 consecutive saves. The new mark established by the Los Angeles closer is 30 more than the prior mark set by Tom Gordon for the Red Sox in 1999.

    2005 - Passing Eddie Murray, Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez hits his 20th career grand slam, now the second-most in major league history. The Dominican Republic native trails only Yankee legend Lou Gehrig, who holds the major league record with 23.

    2007 - At Dodger Stadium, Chipper Jones's two solo home runs are the difference in the Braves' 8-6 victory over Los Angeles. With his pair of round-trippers, the team's third baseman surpasses Dale Murphy for the Atlanta team record of 372 homers.

    2013 - Simon Castro and Josh Phegley make their MLB debuts for the White Sox.  Castro pitches three scoreless innings in relief and Phegley goes 1 for 3 with two RBI.  However, Tampa Bay beats the White Sox 8-3 at Tropicana Field as White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Axelrod gives up 9 hits (two HRs) and 5 runs in 1 2/3 innings.


    2014 - The Chicago Cubs traded Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Dan Straily, Addison Russell, Billy McKinney and cash.

    2014 - The Brooklyn Cyclones, attracting a sellout crowd of 8,241 fans at MCU Park in Coney Island, celebrate the 25th anniversary of the debut Seinfield, an iconic sitcom about nothing that originally ran for nine seasons on NBC, from 1989 to 1998. The tribute to the iconic television series includes players taking batting practice in puffy pirate shirts, a low-talker announcer, a 'Magic Loogie' bobblehead of Keith Hernandez giveaway, and renaming the foul poles the Festivus poles.

    2015 - The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed Travis Ishikawa from the San Francisco Giants on waivers.

      On July 6 in Baseball History...


    1919 - William Veeck, former sportswriter, replaces Fred Mitchell as Cubs president, but Mitchell remains manager for Chicago.

    1929 - The first two pitchers for Philadelphia never record an out, and before the home team comes to bat in the bottom of the first inning they are trailing the Redbirds, 10-0. The Cardinals, who tally ten runs in the first and fifth frames, will pound the Phillies at the Baker Bowl, 28-6, to set the modern National League record for the most runs scored in one game by one team.

    1930 - Bill Veeck Sr's very popular Ladies Day promotion at Wrigley Field reaches new heights when more than 30,000 female fans attend the Cubs' doubleheader against Cincinnati. An over-capacity crowd packs the small ballpark with thousands of others, including late-arriving regular paying patrons, unable to gain admission into the North Side ballpark.

    1932 - Cubs shortstop Billy Jurges is shot twice in his Chicago hotel room by a spurned girlfriend, Violet Popovich Valli. In a scuffle for the gun, Jurges is hit in the shoulder and hand. Jurges fails to prosecute, and Valli will be signed to a 22-week contract to sing in local nightclubs.

    1933 - The first major-league All-Star Game is played at Comiskey Park, and Babe Ruth is the star. His two-run home run is the margin of victory in the American League's 4-2 win. John McGraw comes out of retirement to manage the National League.


    1936 - After the first batter is thrown out trying to bunt, Bob Feller, a 17-year old farm boy from Van Meter, Iowa, strikes out 8 consecutive batters in three innings during an All-star break exhibition game against the Cardinals' Gas House Gang. It is the Indian rookie's first appearance in a major league uniform.

    1938 - At Crosley Field, Yankees' hurler Lefty Gomez is defeated for the first time in four All-Star starts as the NL wins the All-Star game 4-1. National League shortstop Leo Durocher becomes the first Dodger to start in an All-Star Game and gets a 'bunt' home run

    1941 - A center field monument dedicated to Lou Gehrig is unveiled by the Yankees. The memorial, similar to the honor bestowed on the team's late skipper Miller Huggins in 1932, is a tribute by his teammates to their beloved captain who died last month of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

    1942 - First-inning home runs by Lou Boudreau and Rudy York off Mort Cooper lead the A.L. to a 3-1 triumph over the N.L. in the All-Star Game at the Polo Grounds. Mickey Owen's pinch home-run is the N.L.'s only score. He does not hit a single home run during the regular schedule.

    1945 - Tommy Holmes hits safely in his 34th consecutive game surpassing Rogers Hornsby's modern National League record set in 1922. The Braves outfielder will extend the streak to 37 with the new mark lasting 33 years until broken by Pete Rose in 1978.

    1949 - At Crosley Field, Walker Cooper goes 6-for-7, including three home runs and three singles, five runs scored and ten RBIs, to power the Reds over the Cubs, 23-4.

    1953 - In his first major league start, Al Worthington blanks the Pirates, 6-0. The Giants' rookie will repeat the feat in his next start blanking the Dodgers to tie a major league mark.

    1956 - Jim Busby hits his second grand slam in consecutive days to beat the A's, 4-2. Yesterday, in a 13-7 loss to Detroit, the Indians' outfielder hit his bases-loaded home run off winner Frank Lary in the first inning.

    1956 - Ford Frick inaugurates the Cy Young Award, to honor one outstanding pitcher each year. The Baseball Writers Association will do the voting. Only one pitcher will be honored each year until 1967, when a pitcher in each league will be selected.

    1958 - A day after he walks outfielder Willie Kirkland with the bases loaded to give the Giants a 5-4 victory, Cardinal reliever Larry Jackson hits Jim Davenport with the bases full in the ninth inning to again force in the winning run.

    1966 - Tying an American League record, Boog Powell knocks in 11 runs in a doubleheader. In game one, the Baltimore first baseman hits two homers, including a grand slam, two doubles and a sacrifice fly to drive in seven runs in the Orioles' 11-0 victory over the Kansas City A's and adds four more RBIs in the nightcap.

    1970 - Felix Millan goes 6-for-6 and collects four RBIs in a 12-4 victory over the Giants. The infielder is the first Braves' player to collect six hits in one game.

    1970 - Ron Santo drives in ten runs helping the Cubs sweep a doubleheader against Montreal at Wrigley Field. The third baseman's two-run homer in the opener gives the team a 3-2 victory, and his eight RBIs, that includes another two round-trippers, contribute to the club's 14-2 rout in the nightcap.

    1980 - Steve Carlton (14-4) becomes the all-time lefthanded strikeout king, fanning seven Cardinals in an 8-3 Phillies win to bring his major-league career total to 2,836. Mickey Lolich had held the record with 2,832.

    1983 - In the 50th anniversary All-Star Game at Chicago's Comiskey Park, the A.L. routs the N.L. 13-3 for its first win since 1971. The A.L. breaks the game open with seven runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by Fred Lynn grand slam - the first ever in All-Star competition. It is Lynn's fourth All-Star homer, tying him with Ted Williams for the A.L. record.

    1986 - Bob Horner becomes the 11th player to hit four home runs in a game, but it isn't enough as the Braves fall to the Expos 11-8. Horner is the first to hit four home runs in a losing cause.


    1989 - Despite having retired May 29, Mike Schmidt is elected to start at third base for the N.L. in the All-Star Game. A's outfielder Jose Canseco, who has not played all season because of a wrist injury, is picked to start for the A.L.. Neither will play in the game.

    1991 - In a 9-7 loss to Oakland, Danny Tartabull hits three home runs, one off Gene Nelson and two off Bob Welch. The right-fielder becomes the first Kansas City player to accomplish the feat at Royals Stadium.

    1992 - Using his 'in the best interest of baseball' power, commissioner Fay Vincent mandates the National League be realigned next season, forcing teams to be more geographically correct in their respective divisions. The realignment, which was approved by the 12 of the 14 NL owners in March, but blocked by Tribune Co., owner of the Chicago franchise, will send the Cubs and the Cardinals to the West Division with the Braves and Reds moving to the East.

    2000 - Vin Scully, 72, is voted the No. 1 sportscaster of the 20th century by members of the American Sportscasters Association. The Dodger veteran broadcaster's 51-year career has included play-by-play of 25 Fall Classics and 12 All-Star games.

    2000 - Homering off Reds' hurler Osvaldo Fernandez, Cardinals' Keith McDonald becomes only the second player in history to hit a homer in his first two major league at-bats. Bob Nieman of the St. Louis Browns is the other player to accomplish the feat (9/14/51).

    2001 - Playing in the 101st different park since 1876, the Cubs beat the Tigers in Comerica Park, 15-8. The Cubs win for the first time in Detroit in 56 years dating back to Game 3 of the 1945 World Series when Claude Passeau threw a 3-0 shutout in Briggs Stadium.

    2002 - Daryle Ward becomes the first player in the brief history of Pittsburgh's PNC Park to hit the Allegheny River on the fly. His fifth inning towering grand slam, which is estimated to travel 479 feet, helps the Astros to rout the Pirates, 10-2.

    2002 - During Old Timers' Day ceremonies at Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Bombers dedicate a plaque in Monument Park honoring Reggie Jackson. During his tenuous five-year tenure with the team, the slugging outfielder helped the club reach the post-season four times, including winning two consecutive world championships in 1977 and 1978.

    2003 - Keeping his promise to dye his hair if his last-place Devil Rays won three in a row at any point this season, Devil Rays' skipper Lou Piniella becomes a blonde. Last night's 3-2 victory over the White Sox gave Tampa Bay their first three-game winning streak since last September.


    2004 - Recently acquired outfielder Richard Hidalgo establishes a club record homering in five straight games for the Mets. In 16 games with New York, the former Astro has eight home runs compared to hitting just four with Houston in 56 games.

    2005 - In a 12-inning contest, Marlins hurlers, starting in the third inning, retire 28 consecutive Brewers en route to a 5-4 victory over Milwaukee. The club sets a franchise mark with 22 strikeouts with A.J. Burnett contributing a career high of 14, also a team record, in six innings of work.

    2008 - In the ninth inning of a tied game at Yankee Stadium, Manny Ramirez, appearing as a pinch-hitter, upsets the citizens of Red Sox Nation when he strikes out on three consecutive fastballs thrown by Mariano Rivera, without swinging the bat. Citing knee pains, proven to be baseless by MRIs ordered by the team's management, Boston's disgruntled outfielder had asked to be left off the starting lineup for the critical series with New York.

    2009 - In the most lopsided loss in franchise history, the Reds are routed by the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, 22-1. The previous dubious mark was a 20-run differential which was established in 1892 when the Reds lost, 26-6, also to Philadelphia.


    2009 - A federal lawsuit brought by a fan kicked out of Yankee Stadium by a police officer allegedly for leaving his seat to use the men's room during the playing of 'God Bless America' is settled with the resident of Queens receiving $10,001 from New York City. The Yankees, who do not have to pay any money, claim patrons have always had freedom of movement, but ushers in previous years have blocked some exits with chains while the patriotic song was played due to complaints that spectators showed a lack of respect by not staying in their seats.

    2010 - Down six runs in the bottom of the ninth, the Rockies score nine runs in the final frame to beat the stunned Cardinals, 12-9. Seth Smith’s two-out, three-run homer off Ryan Franklin is the fatal blow in Colorado’s amazing come-from-behind walk-off victory at Coors Field.

    2013 - With a late surge of support from the Nationals fans, Bryce Harper is selected as an All-Star, making the 20 year-old outfielder the youngest National League starter in the history of the Mid-Summer Classic. Four days ago, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year trailed the Braves' left fielder Justin Upton by 15,000 votes for the final spot in the outfield.

    2014 - The Kansas City Royals signed Scott Downs as a free agent.

    2014 - The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Brandon McCarthy and cash to the New York Yankees in exchange for Vidal Nuno.

This Date In White Sox History - July 6th







July 6, 1933 - The first ever All Star Game is played in Comiskey Park. The White Sox won a coin flip with the Cubs for the right to host the game that was the idea of Chicago Tribune sports editor “Arch” Ward. The A.L. won the game 4-2 thanks to a home run by Babe Ruth. The White Sox representatives in that first game were third baseman Jimmie Dykes and outfielder Al Simmons.

        On July 7 in Baseball History...

1900 - By defeating the Cubs, 11-4, Beaneaters' hurler Kid Nichols takes only nine seasons to get his 300th victory. The 30-year old righty will amass 361 victories during his 15-year career and will remain the youngest player ever to accomplish the feat.

1909 - In a 15-3 blow-out of the Browns, the White Sox collect 12 stolen bases. The thievery at Chicago's South Side Park includes the theft of home plate three times
.

1914 - Suffering heavy losses from Federal League competition in Baltimore, Jack Dunn, owner of the International League Orioles, offers Babe Ruth (plus Ernie Shore and catcher Ben Egan) for $10,000 to old friend Connie Mack. Mack refuses, pleading poverty. Cincinnati, which has a working agreement giving them the choice of two players, takes outfielder George Twombly and shortstop Claud Derrick. Dunn finally peddles his threesome to new owner Joe Lannin of the Red Sox for a reported $25,000.

1920 - Benny Kauff, after appearing in 55 games this season, is traded by the Giants with cash to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League for Vern Spencer. In December, the New York outfielder had been implicated in a car theft ring, and although acquitted of the charges, he will still be banished from baseball for life by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

1922 - Pirates outfielder Max Carey is the busiest man on the field in a 9-8, 18-inning loss to the Giants. He gets six hits, draws three walks, has three stolen bases (including one of home), and catches seven flies.

1923 - Cleveland scores in every inning against the Red Sox, but playing at home, the team does not bat in the ninth of a doubleheader opener. They run up an A.L. record twenty-seven runs, including 13 in the sixth inning, for a 27-3 win. The Indians keep it up, scoring three in the first inning of the second game en route to an 8-5 win.


1923 - Lefty O'Doul, who will become an outstanding major league hitter later in his career, gives up 13 runs in the sixth inning as the Indians rout the Red Sox, 27-3. He will finish his 11-year stint in the majors with a lifetime batting average of .349.

1931 - The White Sox outlast and outslug the Browns beating St. Louis in 12 inning, 10-8. During the Sportman's Park contest not a single strikeout is recorded by the five pitchers who take the mound making it the longest game in major-league history without a strike three.


1936 - The N.L., having lost the first three All-Star Games, wins 4-3 at Fenway Park. After Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell each pitch scoreless three-inning stints, Curt Davis is hammered by the A.L., allowing Lou Gehrig's home run, but Lon Warneke shuts the door.

1937 - Lou Gehrig leads the A.L. All-Stars over the NL 8-3 with a home run, double, and four RBI. President Franklin D. Roosevelt attends the game in Washington. Dizzy Dean's toe is fractured by a drive off the bat of Earl Averill. After the injury Dean is unable to pitch with the same delivery. He uses an unnatural motion, causing an arm injury from which he never recovers.


1942 - A military All-star team that includes Bob Feller, Cecil Travis, Sam Chapman, Benny McCoy, Johnny Sturm, and Frankie Pytlak loses 5-0 to A.L. stars in a game at Cleveland in front of more than 60,000 fans. Military relief receives $160,000.

1948 - On his 42nd birthday, Negro League legend Satchel Paige signs a contract to pitch with for the Indians. Though viewed by many as another publicity stunt by team owner Bill Veeck, the crafty right-hander will finish the season 6-1 for the eventual world champs.

1951 - Hoot Evers strokes four singles and a double in the Tigers' 13-3 rout of the Indians. The Detroit outfielder's 5-for-5 day is a productive one when he scores five times in the Briggs Stadium contest.

1953 - The Dodgers set a major league mark for most home runs in consecutive games by a team with 24 games with a least one round tripper. Brooklyn starter Preacher Roe hits the record breaking round-tripper with a third-inning blast in the team's 9-5 victory over Pittsburgh at Forbes Field.

1953 - With a 6-3 loss to the Indians at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, the Browns set a major league record losing their 20th consecutive home game. The non-winning streak dates back to June 3.

1958 - At the N.L. meeting, William Shea outlines plans for a $12 million stadium at Flushing Meadows, the eventual site of Shea Stadium.

1959 - The N.L. defeats the AL 5-4 in the All-Star Game at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Willie Mays knocks in Hank Aaron with the deciding run. Don Drysdale pitches perfect ball the first three innings.

1964 - Johnny Callison's ninth-inning three-run home run off Dick Radatz caps a four-run rally and gives the N.L. a 7-4 win in the All-Star Game at Shea Stadium. This evens the series at 17 wins apiece.


1970 - Rico Carty, the National League's leading hitter, becomes the first player voted to play in the All-Star Game as a write-in candidate. The Braves outfielder name was left off the ballot that was drawn up by managers and general managers before the start of spring training.

1971 - Commissioner Kuhn and Hall of Fame president Paul Kirk announce former Negro League players will have full membership in the Cooperstown shrine, not a separate wing as previously planned.

1975 - During an 8-6 loss to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium‚ Giants outfielders Gary Thomasson, Bobby Murcer, and Chris Arnold each nail a runner at home trying to score. The feat hadn't been done since 1905 when Cubs' flycatcher Jack McCarthy accomplished the feat with his three outfield assists.

1982 - Harold Baines hits three consecutive home runs, including a grand slam, to lead the White Sox over the Tigers, 7-0. The Chicago right fielder hits solo round-trippers leading off the fifth and seventh frames before going deep in the eighth with the bases full to seal the deal in the Comiskey Park contest.


1991 - Nolan Ryan misses his eighth no-hitter when California's Dave Winfield singles in the eighth inning. His 7-0 win, however, puts Texas in first place at the All-Star break.

1993 - Tom Browning decides that he has seen the view from the dugout often enough, so he leaves Wrigley Field and watches the Reds beat the Cubs 4-3 from the roof of a three-story building across Sheffield Avenue. He is fined $500 for leaving the dugout - not to mention the ballpark - during a game.

1998 - In a game which is remembered more for 'Glory', a patriotic-colored Beanie Baby souvenir given to the fans, the American League beats the senior circuit, 13-8, in the thin air at Coors Field in Denver. The 21-run total surpasses the previous record set in 1954 when the AL beat the National League in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, 11-9 .

2000 - Drawing one of its largest crowds, the Butte Copper Kings newest promotion, 'John Rocker Awareness Night', is a huge success when the Angel farm club of the Pioneer League offers free admission to anyone belonging to a group insulted by the Atlanta reliever in his Sports Illustrated interview. The 672 fans in attendance include single moms with multiple children, people with purple hair, 'foreigners', as well as people with alternative life styles.

2004 - Blanking the Royals, 12-0, Twins' hurler Kyle Lohse helps to establish a club record throwing the team's third consecutive shutout. Johan Santana (Royals, 4-0) and Brad Radke (Royals, 9-0) started the streak of 27 scoreless innings, also a franchise record.

2004 - Kazuhisa Ishii tosses a one-hitter in the Dodgers' 11-0 defeat of Arizona. The 30-year old Japanese southpaw retires the first 12 batters he faces before issuing a leadoff walk to Luis Gonzalez which is followed with a single by Shea Hillenbrand, but then the left-hander proceeds to mow down 15 consecutive D-Backs to finish his masterpiece.

2006 - With his fifth grand slam of the season, Travis Hafner breaks the team record for grand slams in a season. The Indians' designated hitter had shared the record with Al Rosen, who hit four bases full home runs for Cleveland in 1951.

2006 - After Mark Kotsay doubles leading off the bottom of the first inning on a 3-0 count, and the next batter, Nick Swisher, also gets to a 3 balls and no strikes count, John Lackey retires the next 27 A's batters. The 3-0 Angel victory, which is completed in 2 hours and 1 minute, also marks the end of LA shortstop Orlando Cabrera's streak of reaching base safely in 63 consecutive games, twenty-one shy of Ted Williams's record of 84 straight games established in 1949.

2007 - Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki records first inside-the-park home run in All-Star Game history when he hits Chris Young's fastball into deep right-center field at San Francisco's AT&T Park.The fifth inning blast caroms off the park's quirky configuration and continues to bounce away from NL center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. allowing the American League leadoff hitter, who will be named the game's MVP, to complete his way around he bases for the historic round-tripper.

2008 - The Brewers, in an effort to reach the post-season for the first time since 1982, trade four highly touted farm hands to the Indians to obtain C. C. Sabathia. The Brew Crew send their first-round draft pick last year, Matt LaPorta, along with minor league pitching prospects Zach Jackson and Rob Bryson, as well as Michael Brantley (identified as the player to be named later0 to Cleveland for last season's American League Cy Young Award winner

2008 - After taking a nine-run lead into the sixth inning, the Mets hold on to beat the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, 10-9. The game is eerily similar to a 1992 contest, also played in Philadelphia, that caused Hall of Fame announcer Bob Murphy to remark when the final out was made,"they win the damn thing by a score of 10 to 9!"

2009 - The Chicago White Sox traded Brandon Allen to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for Tony Pena.


2010 - With the score tied at seven in the bottom of the ninth at Coors Field, Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta makes Evan McLane's major league debut memorable when he leads off the inning with a game-ending home run off the 27-year old rookie. The Cardinals' southpaw is the first hurler to surrender a game-winning homer to the first major league batter he faces since San Diego’s right-hander J.J. Trujillo accomplished the dubious deed in his major league debut by allowing Baltimore’s Tony Batista to end a game with a round-tripper in 2002.


2010 - Adam Dunn becomes the second Washington Nationals’ player to hit three home runs in a game, and the first major leaguer to accomplish the feat at the three-year old Nationals Park. The first baseman’s offensive output, which matches Alfonso Soriano's performance in 2006, helps the home team edge San Diego, 7-6, on a very warm night in the nation’s capital.

2010 - The St. Louis Cardinals signed Mike MacDougal as a free agent.

2011 - In an effort to grab the ball tossed into the stands by Josh Hamilton, Ranger fan Shannon Stone dies when he tumbles over the railing and falls 20 feet to the concrete pavement below. The 39-year old Brownwood (TX) firefighter had attended the game with his six-year old son, Cooper.

2011 - The Cubs come back from an 8-0 deficit and beat the Nationals in Washington, 10-9. It is the largest blown lead in franchise history for the the Nats, including their tenure in Montreal as the Expos.

2012 - Bryce Harper becomes the youngest position player to make an All-Star team when he is named to replace Miami's Giancarlo Stanton, who is unable to participate because of an injury. The 19-year-old Nationals outfielder, who is older than hurlers Dwight Gooden (Mets) and Bob Feller (Indians) when they played in their first Mid-summer Classics, surpasses backstop Butch Wynegaras (Twins) as the youngest non-pitcher to be selected.

2012 - In the bottom of the first inning at Minute Maid Park, first base umpire Sam Holbrook tosses Zack Greinke from the game. The arbitrator takes exception to the Brewers starter, who had thrown only four pitches, spiking the ball after he called Jose Altuve safe on a close play in which the Milwaukee hurler covered the bag in the 6-4 loss to Houston.

2015 - The Atlanta Braves released Nick Masset.

2016 - Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, with his twenty-first home run, ties the National League mark shared by Dave Kingman (Giants,1972) and Albert Pujols (Cardinals, 2001) for the most home runs by a rookie before the All-Star break. Mark McGwire established the major league record, going deep 30 times before the Mid-Summer Classic while playing for the A’s in in 1987.

2017 - Eight seconds before a 5 p.m. ET deadline, the Reds and their No. 2 overall pick, Hunter Green, reportedly agree to a record $7.23 million bonus. The 17 year-old two-way Notre Dame High School senior, who recently appeared on a Sports Illustrated cover, has been told by the team that he was selected primarily as a pitcher, but will also be given an opportunity to bat and play shortstop.

2017 - Carlos Carrasco tosses an immaculate inning when he strikes out the side in the fifth frame on nine pitches in the Indians' 11-2 victory over the Tigers at Progressive Field. The Venezuelan right-hander is only the second pitcher in franchise history to do it, joining Justin Masterson who accomplished the feat in 2014.

           On July 8 in Baseball History...

1902 - John McGraw, accused by Ban Johnson of trying to wreck the Baltimore and Washington clubs, negotiates his release from the Orioles and officially signs to manage the Giants at $11,000 a year. McGraw then swings the sale of the Orioles towards the Giants and the Reds.

1912 - At Chicago's West Side Grounds, Giants southpaw Rube Marquard's consecutive winning streak is stopped at 19 when the Cubs defeat New York, 7-2. The future Hall of Famer will finish the season with a league-leading 26 victories for the eventual NL champs.

1918 - Babe Ruth's blast over the fence in Fenway scores Amos Strunk as the Red Sox win 1-0 over Cleveland. Prevailing rules regarding the winning run scoring ahead of the home run reduce Babe's home run to a triple. He will tie for the A.L. title with 11 home runs, even though he plays just 95 games.

1935 - The American League's winning streak reaches three as the Junior Circuit beats the NL in All Star action at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, 4-1. The rule that no pitcher can throw more than three innings unless the game goes extra innings will be instituted after Yankee Lefty Gomez pitches six outstanding innings in the Midsummer Classic.

1939 - Prior to the first game of a doubleheader with the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, a wall of Japanese beetles forms in front of the home dugout. Although over 5000 insects will be captured, the problem will return later in the month.

1941 - Thanks to a dramatic two-out, bottom of the ninth inning, three-run home run by Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams, the American League All-Stars beat the NL in Detroit, 7-5. The "Splendid Splinter's" dramatic drive on a 1-1 pitch thrown by Claude Passeau off the right field press box makes the Briggs Stadium contest the first Mid-Summer Classic to be decided in the final inning.

1947 - Clutch pinch hits by Luke Appling and Stan Spence lead the A.L. to a 2-1 win over the N.L. in the All-Star Game at Wrigley Field. Schoolboy Rowe pinch-hits for Johnny Sain, becoming the first player to appear for each side. Rowe pitched three innings for the A.L. in 1936.

1949 - Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson are the first blacks to play for the Giants. Thompson, who was also the first black to play for the St. Louis Browns (in 1947), starts at second base, and Irvin pinch-hits in the eighth. When Thompson steps in against Don Newcombe, it is the first time in Major League history that a black pitcher and a black hitter have faced off. The Dodgers win the game 4-3.

1950 - In the bottom of the ninth inning at Forbes Field, Jack Phillips, pinch-hitting for Murry Dickson, erases a three-run deficit with a walk-off grand slam off Harry Brecheen. The 28 year-old utility infielder, who will go deep only nine times in 892 major league at-bats, gives the Pirates a dramatic 7-6 victory over the Cardinals.

1951 - The feud between Joe DiMaggio and Casey Stengel reaches a head. In the second inning of a game, because of a misplay in the first, Stengel sends reserve Jackie Jensen out to center field to relieve the Yankee Clipper after he had already taken his position.

1952 - The N.L. defeats the A.L. 3-2 behind the pitching of the Phils' Curt Simmons and the Cubs' Bob Rush in Philadelphia. The game is ended after five innings because of rain. Hank Sauer's homer with Stan Musial aboard in the fourth proves to be the deciding run.

1956 - In an 11-1 rout of the Pirates at the Polo Grounds, the Giants go deep for a franchise record seven home runs. Willie Mays, Daryl Spencer and Wes Westrum each connect for a pair and Hank Thompson adds another.

1957 - The owners decide to re-elect Commissioner Ford Frick to another seven-year term when his present contract is up in 1958.

1958 - The A.L. edges the N.L. 4-3 in the All-Star Game, played at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. The Yankees Gil McDougald singles to score Boston's Frank Malzone with the deciding run.

1959 - During the All-Star break, the Reds fire manager Mayo Smith (35-45) and replaced him with Fred Hutchinson (39-35), the skipper of the Seattle team in the PCL. 'Hutch', who will become a mainstay in the Cinncinati dugout, is the team's fourth manager in less than a year.

1962 - With the help of Stan Musial's three home runs, the Cardinals soundly defeat the Mets at the Polo Grounds, 15-1. 'The Man', who at the age of 41 becomes the oldest major leaguer ever to accomplish the feat, misses an opportunity for another at-bat in the ninth inning, when he is replaced by pinch-runner Bobby Gene Smith in the previous frame.

1965 - At Milwaukee's County Stadium, Joe Morgan sets an Astro record by going 6-for-6. The rookie second baseman's stellar performance doesn't stop the Braves from beating Houston, 9-8.

1969 - At Shea Stadium, Don Young is roundly criticized by Cubs' teammate Ron Santo for his two misplays in center field that help the Mets score three ninth-inning runs, resulting in a 4-3 walk-off victory and cutting Chicago's division lead to four-games over the surging New York team. The emotional third baseman will apologize for his remarks tomorrow, but will be soundly booed by the hometown fans in his first game back at Wrigley Field.

1970 - Jim Ray Hart completes the cycle and becomes the first player in fifty-nine years to have six RBIs in one inning when he hits a a three-run homer and a three-run triple in the Giants' 13-0 rout of Atlanta. The San Francisco third baseman had already stroked a double in the second and added a single in the third before his three-base hit and round-tripper in the fifth frame.

1973 - Bob Watson's hard slide into second base in an effort to break up a double play fractures Expos shortstop Tim Foli's jaw. When the Houston outfielder returns to left field, the Montreal fans at Jarry Park begin hurling debris at him to show their displeasure about his treatment of their popular infielder.

1974 - Oakland outfielder Claudell Washington, making his first start in the major leagues, strokes a single in the tenth inning to give the A's a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Gaylord Perry's attempt to get his record-tying 16th consecutive victory this season is spoiled with the 19-year old rookie's walk-off hit.

1976 - Randy Jones beats the Cubs 6-3 for his 16th win of the year for the Padres, an N.L. record for wins at the All-Star break. He beats the Cubs 6-3. In the second half of the season, the Padres lefty will lose seven games by one run, including two 1-0 scores.

1980 - The N.L. wins its ninth consecutive All-Star Game 4-2 at Dodger Stadium. Reds outfielder Ken Griffey has two hits, including a home run, to win the game's MVP Award.

1982 - Billy Martin records his 1,000th career win as a manager as the A's beat the Yankees 6-3.

1987 - Gerald Young becomes the first player from Honduras to appear in the majors. In his big league debut, the Tela native plays the outfield for the Astros and goes 0-for-4 in a 1-0 loss to the Expos at the Astrodome.

1994 - Red Sox shortstop John Valentin snares Marc Newfield's sixth inning line drive, steps on second retiring Mike Blowers and then tags the runner coming from first, Kevin Mitchell, to turn an unassisted triple play against the Mariners.]


1995 - After matching solo tallies with their opponents in the 1st and 16th inning, the Astros score in the bottom of the 17th inning for a 3-2 victory over San Diego. Craig Biggio singles off Brian Williams to score Doug Brocail, who becomes the winning pitcher in the Astrodome contest when he steps on home plate.

1997 - Sandy Alomar, Jr., who has a 30-game hitting streak to end the first half of the season, slams a two-run home run in front of the hometown crowd at Jacobs Field to lead the AL to a 3-1 win in the All-Star Game. Alomar is named the game's MVP for helping end the N.L.'s three-game winning streak.

2000 - The Yankees sweep their cross-town rivals in the first double-ballpark doubleheader since 1903 with identical scores, 4-2 in an afternoon tilt at Shea and 4-2 in an evening contest at Yankee Stadium. It proves to be quite an interesting day in New York as Mike Piazza is hospitalized after being beaned by Roger Clemens, Dwight Gooden gets his first win at the Flushing Meadow ballpark since 1994, and a bizarre obstruction call on Mets' first baseman Todd Zeile causes the first game to be played under protest.


2000 - When Jose Cruz Jr. hits #20 in a 6-3 win over the Expos, the Blue Jays become the first team in major league history to have four batters to hit 20 or more homers before the All-Star break. The 26 year-old Toronto outfielder joins teammates Tony Batista, Carlos Delgado, and Raúl Mondesí in reaching the milestone.

2002 - In an effort to set professional baseball's lowest attendance record, fans are shut out of the Charleston Riverdogs vs. Columbus RedStixx game. When the minor league game becomes official in the fifth inning and the attendance is recorded as zero, patrons are allowed through the gates to watch the contest.

2003 - Indians' southpaw Billy Traber one-hits the Yankees retiring 27 of 28 batters, including 21 in a row after allowing John Flaherty to reach first base with a single in the third inning. The 4-0 blanking of the Bronx Bombers is the 23-year old rookie's first complete game.

2005 - In Singapore, the International Olympic Committee takes a secret vote on the approval of the 28 current summer Olympic events scheduled to be played at the 2012 Summer Games in London. Baseball and softball are eliminated making it the first time since polo was dropped in 1936 that sports have been cut.

2005 - In a 7-6 defeat to the Rangers, Blue Jays' ace Roy Halladay suffers a broken leg as a result of being hit by a Kevin Mench third inning line drive. 'Doc', who was slated to be the AL starter in the All-Star game to be played in Detroit this week, will miss the rest of the season.

2008 - The Cubs bolster their pitching staff obtaining starter Dan Harden and reliever Chad Gaudin from the A’s in exchange for right-hander Sean Gallagher, second baseman/outfielder Eric Patterson, outfielder Matt Murton, and minor league backstop prospect Josh Donaldson. Chicago’s dealing may be in anticipation of the trade rumors of the Brewers getting Indians' ace, C.C. Sabathia.

2010 - With the Rockies’ 4-3 victory over St. Louis, Ubaldo Jimenez became the first pitcher in ten years to record 15 wins prior to the All-Star break. The Colorado right-hander, who is has compiled a 15-1 mark, is the first hurler to reach the plateau since David Wells posted a 15-2 record with the Blue Jays in 2000.

2010 - Using an on-line ballot, fans select Nick Swisher of the Yankees and Reds' first baseman Joey Votto to fill the last two roster spots in this year’s All-Star game. The New York outfielder, who edged Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis for the final AL spot, used his Twitter account to campaign for votes and to thank his fans for their support.

2011 - The Houston Astros claimed Lucas Harrell from the Chicago White Sox on waivers.


2011 - 19-year old Mike Trout makes his major league debut for the Angels in their game versus the Mariners in Anaheim.  Trout starts in center field and bats ninth in the lineup.  He goes 0-3.  The Angels win 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth with a walk off homer by Mark Trumbo.

2014 - The Mets beat Atlanta to win its 4,000th game since starting as an expansion team in 1962. The milestone victory is recorded by rookie right-hander Jacob deGrom, who strikes out 11 batters in seven shutout innings in the team’s 8-3 win at Citi Field.

2015 - A lead-off walk-off homer by Adam Eaton in the bottom of the 11th gives the White Sox a 7-6 victory over the Blue Jays at U. S. Cellular Field.
