YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!
1905 Ty Cobb, not yet 19-years-old, rips a double off of Jack Chesbro for his first major league hit.
1912 Earl Hamilton tosses a no-hitter as the Browns top the Tigers, 5 – 1. Cobb reached on a walk, advanced on an error and scored on a fielder’s choice to ruin the shutout. Odd fact? It was the first no-hitter where the pitcher failed to strike out a batter.
1916 Boston’s Dutch Leonard fans three, walks two, but doesn’t allow a hit in a 4 – 0 win over the Browns.
1921 Pirate Dave Robinson’s four hit day completes the cycle in an 8 – 2 win over Brooklyn. He made an out to open the second, then homered, doubled, singled, and finished with a triple in the eighth inning.
1941 Lon Warneke’s no hitter (two Ks, one walk) allows the Cards to edge the Reds, 2 – 0.
1953 Jim Pendleton hits three of the Boston Braves’ record eight homers in the first game of a doubleheader. The Braves hit four more off the Pirates in game two, setting a record for doubleheaders, too.
1960 Speaking of DH batting feats, Pete Runnels gets ten hits in a twin bill, six (for seven) in the first game.
2015 Cub Jake Arrieta no hits the Dodgers as Chicago wins, 2 – 0. Arrieta fanned twelve and walked just one (Jimmy Rollins in the sixth).
TRANSACTION WIRE:
