    On September 1 in Baseball History...


    1890 - On Labor Day at Brooklyn's Washington Park, the Bridegrooms, later to be known as the Dodgers, win all three games against Pittsburgh in the first tripleheader ever played. The home team sweeps the visiting Alleghenys, who will be renamed the Pirates next season, 10-9, 3-2, and 8-4.

    1902 - Tinker, Evers, and Chance appear together in the Chicago Cubs lineup for the first time, but not in the positions that will earn them immortality. Johnny Evers, a New York State League rookie, starts at shortstop, with Joe Tinker at third base, Frank Chance at first base, and Bobby Lowe at second base.

    1906 - The Philadelphia Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 in twenty-four innings. Jack Coombs of the Athletics and Joe Harris of the Red Sox pitched all twenty-four innings. Coombs fanned eighteen.

    1909 - Bill O'Hara becomes the first pinch runner to steal two bases in the same inning in the Giants' 9-6 victory over St. Louis at the Polo Grounds. The Giants' outfielder, who will swipe 31 bases this season, will duplicate the feat tomorrow off the same team.

    1912 - Smokey Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox, on his way to a thirty-four win season, beat Washington's Walter Johnson 1-0 in a specially arranged pitching duel at Boston. The victory was Wood's sixteenth consecutive.

    1918 - Ty Cobb pitches two innings against the Browns while the Browns' George Sisler pitches one scoreless inning. The Browns win 6-2 as Sisler hits a double off Cobb.

    1918 - Due to World War I, the major league regular season is originally scheduled to end today, but the owners decide to play through Labor Day (September 2). The Browns want the Indians fined and believe that Cleveland should forfeit two games for refusing to play on the extended dates (September 1 & 2).

    1931 - Lou Gehrig hits his third grand slam in four days. It is the sixth consecutive game in which the Yankees slugger has homered and it helps New York beat the Red Sox.

    1945 - Vince DiMaggio's bases-loaded home run paces the Phillies to an 8-3 victory over Boston at Braves Field. The Phillies outfielder ties a major league mark with his fourth grand slam of the season.

    1947 - The Giants break the 1936 Yankees record for the most home runs hit in a season by a team. The three Polo Grounds homers today raise the total to 185 and New York will finish the season with 221 round-trippers.

    1953 - The Cardinals tie a major league mark hitting five homers in a 12-5 loss to Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. The solo shots hit by Stan Musial, Harry Elliot, Rip Repulski and Steve Bilko (2), all off starter Preacher Roe, aren't enough to offset the Dodgers' 17-hit attack, which includes six doubles but no round-trippers.

    1954 - Redlegs slugger Ted Kluszewski hits two home runs to break his own club mark of forty homers in a 9-3 loss to Philadelphia. He will wind up with forty-nine for the season.

    1958 - Vinegar Bend Mizell of the St. Louis Cardinals set a National League record by walking nine batters and pitching a shutout. Mizell beat Cincinnati 1-0.

    1961 - Cuno Barragan hits his only big league home run in his first major league at-bat when he takes Dick LeMay deep over the left-field fence at Wrigley Field in the second inning of the Cubs' 4-3 loss to San Francisco. The 29-year old catcher will play in 69 games for Chicago over three seasons.

    1963 - Curt Simmons of the St. Louis Cardinals allowed six hits, drove in two runs with a triple and stole home plate in a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Simmons' steal of home is the last by a pitcher.

    1964 - Southpaw relief pitcher Masanori Murakami becomes the first Major League player from Japan. He debuts in a 4-1 San Francisco loss at New York. His first eleven innings will be scoreless ones.

    1966 - ardinals backstop Tim McCarver hits his 13th and final triple of the season helping the Redbirds beat the Braves at Busch Stadium, 7-4. The Memphis native becomes the first catcher to lead a league in three-baggers.

    1967 - After 20 scoreless innings, which matches the major league mark for a scoreless tie, Dick Groat draws a bases loaded walk giving the Giants 1-0 victory over the Reds.

    1967 - In the midst of his franchise record of 40 consecutive inning scoreless streak, Gaylord Perry hurls 16 innings of shutout ball in the Giants, 1-0, 21-inning victory over the Reds at Crosley Field. Frank Linzy keeps Cincinnati scoreless for the final five frames to get the victory.

    1969 - At Dodger Stadium, Willie Davis ties the franchise record by hitting in 29 consecutive games with his second-inning single in LA's 10-6 victory over New York. The mark was established by Zack Wheat in 1916.

    1971 - At Parc Jarry in Montreal, the Pirates become the first major league team to start an all-black team. The lineup includes infielders Al Oliver (1b), Rennie Stennett (2b), Jackie Hernandez (ss) Dave Cash (3b) and outfielders Willie Stargell (lf), Gene Clines (cf), Roberto Clemente (rf) with Dock Ellis (p) and Manny Sanguillen (c) making up the battery.

    1975 - When he whiffs Pirate Manny Sanguillen in the seventh inning of the Mets' 3-0 victory, Tom Seaver becomes the first pitcher to strike out at least 200 batters in eight consecutive seasons. The victory is also 'Tom Terrific's' 20th of the season making it the fourth time in his career he has reached that plateau.

    1979 - Angel infielder Carney Lansford hits three consecutive home runs. The Halos' homers help California down the Indians, 7-4.

    1987 - Williamsport (Eastern League) Bills catcher Dave Bresnahan introduces a new wrinkle to baseball, the hidden potato. With a Reading runner, Rick Rudblad, on third base, Bresnahan returns from a time out with a shaved potato hidden in his mitt. On the next pitch he throws the potato wildly on a pickoff attempt. When the runner trots home, Bresnahan tags him out with the real ball. The umpire, unamused, rules the runner safe, gives the catcher an error, and fines him $50. He is released the following day. But that night, their last game of the season, the Bills admit any fan for $1 and a potato. On each potato, Bresnahan autographs, "This spud's for you."

    1989 - Eight days after banning Pete Rose from baseball for life, Commissioner Bart Giamatti dies suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 51.

    1992 - At Tiger Stadium, Rick Aguilera pitches a scoreless ninth inning to notched his 35th save of the season in the Twins' 5-4 victory over Detroit. It is the right-handed reliever's 109th save making him the franchise all-time saves leader.

    1995 - Tigers manager Sparky Anderson manages his four-thousandth Major League game, but the Indians are 14-4 winners.

    1998 - In a 7-1 victory over the Marlins, Cardinal slugger Mark McGwire homers twice breaking Hack Wilson's National League single season home run record of 56. Mac's seventh inning shot ties the 1930 mark and a new record is established in the ninth when he hits a Don Pall pitch 472 feet over the Pro Player Stadium wall in centerfield.

    1999 - Due to the union's failure to force an early start to negotiations for a new labor contract with mass resignations, twenty-two of baseball's regular 68 umpires find themselves unemployed. In a deal, mediated by J. Curtis Joyner, a U.S. District Judge, the union agrees the 22 will no longer provide services for major league baseball.

    2000 - In an unusual play, the Orioles turns a triple play as shortstop Melvin Mora purposely lets a short fly drop in left field with runners at first and second. The runner at second (Travis Fryman) is tagged out and the runner at first (Wil Cordero) is forced at second and the batter (Sandy Alomar) thinking the infield-fly rule would be enforced does not go to first and is called automatically out for going back to dugout.

    2000 - Darin Erstad breaks the Angels' club record for total hits in a season (202) set in 1970 by Alex Johnson by getting three hits in a 9-8 loss to the White Sox giving him 204 so far this season.


    2001 - Cubs' slugger Sammy Sosa hits the longest home run in Turner Field history as his 53rd of the season travels 471 feet to straight away center. The historic homer comes in the first inning off four-time Cy Young Award winner Greg Maddux.

    2002 - Thanks to Miguel Tejada's three-run ninth inning walkoff home run, the A's beat the Twins, 7-5 extending their winning streak to 18. The dramatic victory marks the longest streak in franchise history established by the Philadelphia A's with 17 consecutive victories in 1931.

    2005 - The Pacific Coast League announces the total season attendance for the circuit surpasses 7-million fans. The PCL had set a new single season record in minor league history when the 16 team circuit passed the 6.8 million mark earlier in the month.

    2005 - The first bus loads of Hurricane Katrina refugees, formerly housed at the SuperDome in New Orleans, begin to arrive early this morning at Houston's Astrodome. The former home of the Astros will afford the displaced an opportunity to escape the unhealthy horrendous conditions of their former shelter by supplying air conditioning, cots, food and showers for eventually 25,000 people who are expected from Louisiana.

    2007 - In only his second major league start, Clay Buchholz, using an assortment of fastballs, curves and changeups, becomes the 20th rookie to throw a no-hitter beating the Orioles in front of a very supportive Fenway crowd, 10-0. The 23-year-old right-hander, who was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to make the start, becomes the youngest of the 17 players who have accomplished the feat in Red Sox history.


    2008 - Cliff Lee shuts out the White Sox, 5-0, to become the Indians' 56th twenty-game winner in franchise history, but the first to accomplish the feat in 34 years. The last Tribe's moundsman to win as many games was Gaylord Perry who posted a 21-13 record in 1974.

   
    2008 - The San Diego Padres released Tadahito Iguchi.

    2008 - In Arizona's 8-6 comeback victory over the Cardinals, Stephen Drew singles in the first, triples in the third, homers in the fifth and doubles in the seventh to complete the cycle. The Diamondbacks' shortstop becomes the third player in franchise history, and the first major leaguer to accomplish the feat at Chase Field, which was formerly known as the Bank One Ballpark.


    2008 - Adrian Beltre triples in the eighth inning off Rangers' right-hander Josh Rupe to become the fourth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. The rare event is accomplished twice today as Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew also collects a single, double, triple and home run in a game against the Cardinals at Chase Field.

    2008 - In his his complete game effort against the Pirates, C.C. Sabathia gives up only a questionable infield hit to Andy LaRoche in the fifth inning of the Brewers' 7-0 victory at PNC Park. The club plans to forward a DVD of the play to Major League Baseball hoping somehow official scorer Bob Webb, the only person allowed to reverse his own call according to the rule book, can be convinced to change the scoring of the grounder to the mound to an error.

    2009 - In his first game back from the DL after suffering a torn right testicle when a bad hop grounder hit him in the groin last month, Adrián Beltre hears the The Nutcracker Suite when he steps into the batter's box. Mariner teammate Ken Griffey Jr. arranged to have the Safeco Field PA system play the waltz to have some fun with the third baseman, who decided not wear a protective cup until today's game.

    2010 - The Nationals announce Rob Dibble will no longer be employed as a TV analyst for the team’s games on MASN, the network that telecasts the Washington games. The former major league reliever, as a host on a Sirius XM Radio show, loses his job after severely chastising Stephen Strasburg for not pitching through pain before the rookie phenom was diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament.

    2012 - The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Lorenzo Barcelo as a free agent.

    2014 - The Phillies become the eleventh team in baseball history to throw a combined no-hitter when four of their hurlers do not yield a hit in the team’s 7-0 victory over the Braves. Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels goes the first six innings in the Turner Field contest with relievers Jake Diekman, Ken Giles, and Jonathan Papelbon each tossing a perfect inning to accomplish the rare feat.

    2015 - The Atlanta Braves released David Aardsma.
