Today In White Sox History - July 14th




 

 

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

Today In White Sox History - July 14th



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

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

On July 15 in Baseball History...


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2015 - Kirk Nieuwenhuis, recently reacquired by the Mets from the Angels after they sold him to the Halos in May, hits three home runs his first three at-bats, helping the team complete a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks with a 5-3 victory at Citi Field. The outfielder’s first three homers of the season mark the tenth time in franchise history a player has a gone deep three times in a game, but the 27 year-old is the first to accomplish the feat at home.

2017 - The Milwaukee Brewers signed Jeanmar Gomez as a free agent.

July 15, 1930 - White Sox infielder John Ryan, nicknamed “Blondy”, becomes the first player in team history to belt a home run in his first at bat in the major leagues. Ryan connects against the Yankees at Comiskey Park. Unfortunately the White Sox would lose that day 9 – 5.

This Date In White Sox History - July 15th


 


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

     On July 16 in Baseball History...

1897 - At the age of 45, Chicago Colts' (Cubs) first baseman Cap Anson becomes the first major leaguer to amass 3000 hits when he singles off Baltimore's George Blackburn.

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

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

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

1920 - After pitching 16 scoreless frames, Earl Hamilton and the Pirates lose to the Giants in the 17th at Forbes Field, 7-0. New York starter Rube Benton tosses 17 shutout innings to get the victory.

1920 - Babe Ruth broke his own season record of twenty-nine homers with his thirtieth as the New York Yankees beat the St. Louis Browns 5-2. Ruth would finish the season with fifty-four.

1941 - Joe DiMaggio extended his hitting streak to fifty-six games with a 3-for-4 day as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 10-3.

1948 - There are 3 managerial changes today. Ben Chapman is fired by the Phillies (though owner Carpenter insists he was "not fired" saying "I'd like to make it clear that there is a difference between not firing a man and concluding business with him.") and Dusty Cooke takes over on an interim basis. Eddie Sawyer‚ with no ML experience as player or manager‚ will get the job after Cooke goes 8-6. But the big news is from New York. The Giants remove Mel Ott and replace him with Leo Durocher‚ who obtains his release from Brooklyn. The Dodgers bring back mild-mannered Burt Shotton who replaced Durocher once before. In a newspaper poll over the winter‚ an overwhelming majority voted for the gentlemanly Shotton to replace The Lip. The changes today portend those at the end of the season: Bucky Harris of the Yankees‚ Ted Lyons of the White Sox‚ and Steve O'Neill of the Tigers will be released.

1951 - While in Detroit‚ the Yanks option rookie Mickey Mantle to Kansas City (AA). Mantle‚ plagued with strikeouts-3 on the 13th-and in a slump‚ will go 0-for-22 in his start with the Blues‚ before ending with a tear at .361. The Yankees will recall him August 20th. Art Schallock takes Mickey's place on the Yankee roster and gives up 7 hits in 2.3 innings in today's 8-6 win

1952 - Walt Dropo gets 2 more hits‚ giving him 15 in 4 games‚ which ties another AL record by Joe Cronin. Dropo scores 3 runs in the 9-0 win at Washington. Bill Wight allows just 4 hits in the shutout.

1953 - The Browns tie a record with 3 successive HRs-by Clint Courtney‚ Dick Kryhoski‚ and Jim Dyck-in the first inning‚ and their 5 bases-empty HRs in 3 innings establishes a new mark. It's enough to beat the Yankees‚ 8-6.

1956 - The Tigers and Briggs Stadium are sold to a syndicate of 11, led by radio executives John Fetzer and Fred Knorr, for a record $5.5 million from Walter Briggs, Jr., who wanted keep the team and ballpark but is ordered by family estate administrators to sell his ownership he inherited from his father. The deal includes an agreement to retain Briggs, who will also become the team's general manager, as executive vice president, but the former owner will resign from both posts earlier next season.

1958 - Testifying before the Senate subcommittee on Anti-Trust and Monopoly, Commissioner Ford Frick asks the Senate to approve legislation to curb television and radio broadcasts of baseball games. Minor league baseball towns are being wrecked, he claims. "We have got to be able to handle this problem or within 10 years there will be no television problem because there will be no baseball." When asked about the possibility of the Washington franchise shifting cities, Frick replies, "Removal of the club from Washington would be catastrophic. Baseball cannot afford not to be in Washington."

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

1968 - Jose Cardenal becomes the first outfielder in 37 years and only the fourth flychaser overall to record two unassisted double plays in one season. The Cleveland outfielder joins Socks Seybold (1907 A's), Tris Speaker (1918 Indians) and Adam Comorosky (1931 Pirates) in accomplishing the rare feat.

1969 - Rod Carew stole home off Chicago's Jerry Nyman in the Minnesota Twins' 9-8 victory. It was Carew's seventh steal of home for the year and tied Pete Reiser's 1946 major league mark.

1970 - On precisely the same spot as Exposition Park, the home of the Pirates from 1891-1909, Three Rivers Stadium makes its debut. Cincinnati’s first baseman Tony Perez hits the park's first home run as the Pirates lose to the Reds, 3-2. .

1971 - Vida Blue boosts his record to 18-3 with a one-hit 4-0 victory over Detroit. Taylor's single in the 4th is the only hit.

1975 - Bowie Kuhn is re-elected to his second term as the commissioner of baseball. Charlie Finley failed in his attempt to force the other owners to vote to remove Kuhn, who had become an adversary of the Oakland A's owner during his first seven years in the position.

Eddie Cicotte picks up a save in the 2nd game  with a 4-pitch 9th inning after Joe Jackson hits a grand slam in the top of the 9th to give the White Sox a 8- 5 lead.

This Date In White Sox History - July 16th





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

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

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

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

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

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

2002 - Minnesota's Torii Hunter‚ angered after he is hit by a pitch‚ picks up the ball and fires it at Indians pitcher Danys Baez in the fifth inning of an 8-5 Twins win.

This Date In White Sox History - July 17th







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

On July 18 in Baseball History...


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

2008 - Recently released Richie Sexson signs with the Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are hoping the former Mariners' first baseman, who has the lowest batting average in the major leagues hitting just .218 overall but .344 against lefties, can add a potent bat when the club faces southpaws.

2008 - Billy Joel, in the last concert to be hosted at Shea Stadium, gets a little help from his friends as Paul McCartney joins him on stage and sings “I Saw Her Standing There,” to a tremendous ovation from the sold-out crowd of 55,000 very surprised fans. 'Sir Paul' tells the crowd the Beatles had a 'blast' playing at Shea that night in 1965, the year after the Mets home ballpark opened.

 
2009 - In the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami, ground is broken for the Marlins' long-awaited retractable-roof ballpark, scheduled to be completed by Opening Day 2012. The ceremony, attended by about 5,000 fans, includes Charlie Hough throwing a ceremonial pitch to Benito Santiago, the battery who threw and caught the first pitch in franchise history in 1993.

2013 - The Chicago White Sox released Lars Anderson.

2013 - The Chicago White Sox released Jeff Gray.


2017 - The Detroit Tigers traded J.D. Martinez to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for Dawel Lugo, Sergio Alcantara and Jose King.

On July 19 in Baseball History..
.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This Date In White Sox History - July 19th





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

On July 20 in Baseball History...


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

2006 - In a 26 inning New York-Penn League game which takes 6 hours, 40 minutes to complete at KeySpan Park in Coney Island, the Oneonta Tigers outlast the hometown Brooklyn Cyclones, 6-1.

2006 - The Chicago White Sox released Cliff Politte.


2008 - With a five-run ninth inning rally at Chase Field, the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5, and move into a flat-footed tie (48-50) with Arizona for first place in National League West.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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