  • 1950 - Red Sox star Ted Williams apologizes to the hometown fans for "insulting gestures" he made in response to catcalls prompted by his two errors in a doubleheader loss (13-4 and 5-3) to Detroit. His second bobble allowed the Tigers' eventual winning run to score in game two.

  • 1958 - Willie Mays hits the first grand slam in the history of the San Francisco Giants and adds another home run as Los Angeles loses 12-3.

  • 1966 - The Cardinals open new Busch Memorial Stadium with a 12-inning 4-3 win over the Braves.
