On July 2 in Baseball History...

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

  • 1941 - Joe DiMaggio extends his consecutive-game hitting streak to 45 by hitting a home run off Boston's Dick Newsome, surpassing Willie Keeler's all-time record.

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

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

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

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