2008 Debuts / Born Today



Today in Baseball History from the BR Bullpen

Full Today in Baseball History

  • 1894 - Future Hall of Famer Fred Clarke sets a record by going 5-for-5 with a double in his first ML game, but Louisville squanders his performance in a 13 - 6 loss to Philadelphia. Clarke will be appointed manager in just three years.
  • 1902 - Jim Jones, Giants LF, throws three base runners out at home in an 8-0 loss to Boston. His three assists at home ties the major-league record set by Dummy Hoy on June 19, 1889. It'll be tied again in 1905.
  • 1905 - Nap Lajoie is sidelined by blood poisoning from neglect of a spike wound. He will play in only 65 games, losing a chance to lead the American League in batting for the 5th straight year.
  • 1909 - Chicago's Ed Reulbach spoils Pittsburgh's dedication of Forbes Field before 30,338, allowing three hits and beating Vic Willis, 3-2. A parade of old-time players precedes the game. The Pirates will draw 98,000 fans, including 41,000 on July 5, in their first five home games.
  • 1913 - The same ball is used for the entire game in the Reds' 9 - 6 win over the Cubs.
  • 1916 - For the 2nd time in three days, the Braves' Ed Konetchy collects the only hit in a game, a single. Today it is Rube Benton of the Giants firing the one-hitter.
  • 1917 - Pirates manager Nixey Callahan is fired after his team goes 20 - 40. Popular star Honus Wagner is named field manager with Hugo Bezdek to take over the team's business affairs. As his first order of business, Wagner guides to Bucs to a 5 - 4 win over the Reds, contributing a 2-run double as well.
  • 1927 - The Tigers edge the Indians, 6 - 5, beating George Uhle for the 5th time this year.
  • 1927 - Alphonse "Tommy" Thomas pitches a 5 - 1 win over the Browns, the 6th time this season that the White Sox pitcher has beaten St. Louis. He last beat them on June 22. Lefty Stewart, who gives up a homer to Earl Sheely in the 6th, takes the loss.
  • 1930 - The Cubs move into first place ahead of Brooklyn by defeating the Giants.
