YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!
1916 In the last game for both Hall of Fame pitchers, Christy Mathewson – the player manger of the Reds – faces Mordecai Three Finger Brown and the Cubs. Neither is around for the finish, but Cincinnati wins, 10 – 8.
1923 Yankee Sam Jones tosses a no-hitter to beat the Athletics, 2 – 0. Jones doesn’t strike out a single batter.
1993 Yankee Jim Abbott, who made it to the majors without a fully formed right hand,
throws a no hitter to beat the Indians, 4 – 0.
2002 Oakland, who had blown an 11 – 0 lead to Kansas City, gets a game winning home run from Scott Hatteberg to win their 20th straight game.
2017 Arizona’s J. D. Martinez joins a rather exclusive club by hitting four homers in a 13 – 0 win over the Dodgers. It was the second time this had happened in one season – Scooter Gennett of the Reds had done it in June.
