On May 21 in Baseball History...​
  • 1901 - Andrew Freedman, fractious owner of the Giants, accuses umpire Billy Nash of incompetence and bars him from the Polo Grounds. One Pirates player and one from the Giants are forced to officiate.

  • 1923 - Formal transfer of T.L. Huston's interest in the Yankees to Jake Ruppert is completed for $1.5 million. Ten days later Ruppert buys two more sets of uniforms so his players can wear a clean outfit every day, an unprecedented move.

  • 1930 - Babe Ruth hits three consecutive home runs in the first game of a doubleheader against the A's, then decides to hit right-handed against Jack Quinn in the ninth inning. After two strikes, he switches to lefty but strikes out. Ruth is homerless in the nightcap.

  • 1943 - The White Sox top the Washington Senators 1-0 in one hour and 29 minutes, the quickest night game in A.L. history.

  • 1962 - Three more Cleveland home runs set an A.L. record for most home runs (26) over eight straight games.

  • 1968 - The Cubs climb above the .500 mark the first time in the season with a 6 5 win over the Phillies. Chicago's Billy Williams sets a record for outfielders by playing in his 695th straight game.

  • 1996 - Ken Griffey, Jr. hits his 200th career home run at age 26. Only seven other players have done this more quickly, and six are in the Hall of Fame.

  • 1997 - Roger Clemens becomes the 94th pitcher to win 200 games with a 4-1 win over the Yankees. The 34-year-old Blue Jays fireballer is now 8-0 with his new team en route to his fourth Cy Young Award.

Mercado is an athlete. Beautiful stance and swing. Cardinals rolling after that horrific start.

This is a free site, Yo. If you can’t handle the feminazis, steer clear of their sites. First time I’d seen the two that took umbrage to our remarks. F’em.
