  • 1927 - During the ninth inning, the Philadelphia Athletics field a team of seven future Hall of Famers. The outfield consists of Ty Cobb in right, Al Simmons in center, and Zack Wheat in left. Jimmie Foxx is at first base, Eddie Collins is at second, and Lefty Grove pitches in relief. Cy Perkins started as catcher, but when Mickey Cochrane pinch-hit for him, seven Cooperstown-bound players were in the lineup.

  • 1974 - Mel Stottlemyre makes his 272nd consecutive start, with no relief appearances, to set an A.L. record.

  • 1985 - Von Hayes becomes the first major-league player ever to hit two home runs in the first inning, leading off with a home run and capping a nine-run outburst with a grand slam as the Phillies go on to rout the Mets 26-7. The 26 runs in one game are a club record and the most in the N.L. since 1944.

  • 1988 - Yankees designated hitter Rick Rhoden hits a sacrifice fly in New York's 8-6 win over Baltimore. He is the first pitcher to start a game as a DH since the rule was adopted in 1973.

  • 1990 - Ageless Nolan Ryan pitches his unprecedented sixth career no-hitter, striking out 14 batters in a 5-0 win over the A's. He is the first to pitch a no-hitter for three different teams, and the first to throw a no-hitter in three different decades.

  • 1995 - Montreal's Rondell White has six hits, scores five runs, and hits for the cycle in a 13-inning 10-8 win over the Giants.

  • 1997 - Kevin Brown pitches the first no-hitter of the season and the second no-hitter in Marlins history in a 9-0 win over the Giants in San Francisco. Brown has a perfect game going until he hits pinch-hitter Marvin Benard with a 1-2 pitch with two outs in the eighth inning. Benard is the only Giants player to reach base. San Francisco starter William Van Landingham also had a no-hitter for six innings before Charles Johnson's home run in the seventh breaks up the bid and triggers a Florida offensive explosion.

  • 1939 - The greatest-ever gathering of members and future inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame assembles in Cooperstown, N.Y., for the dedication of the museum: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, Grover Alexander, Nap Lajoie, George Sisler, Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, Cy Young and Connie Mack accept their plaques.

  • 1950 - Major League Baseball names Connie Mack as the Honorary A.L. Manager of the All-Star Game.

  • 1961 - An ailing Bill Veeck sells his interest in the White Sox to Arthur Allyn, a minority partner. Allyn also buys Hank Greenberg's stock to acquire a controlling interest. Greenberg remains as General Manager.
