YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!
1940 Joe Gordon hits for the cycle as the Yankees topped the Red Sox, 9 – 4.
1951 Bob Rush intentionally walks six in 14 innings of work. Cincinnati won in 18 innings, 7 to 6.
1965 Bert Campaneris plays all nine positions in a game against the Angels.
1985 Pete Rose gets a pair of hits off the Cubs to tie Ty Cobb’s career hit record. (When they fixed the statistics of Ty Cobb, who had been granted two extra hits by double-counting a two hit game in 1910 to win a batting title nearly stolen by Nap Lajoie, we learned that Rose had set the record by getting a single off of Reggie Patterson in the first inning.)
1993 Darryl Kile blanks the Mets, 7 – 1, without allowing a hit as Houston topped New York. Jeff McKnight reached on a walk, got to third on an error, and scored on a wild pitch.
1998 Mark McGwire roped a Steve Trachsel fastball over the left field wall at Wrigley field for his record setting 62nd homer of the year.
TRANSACTION WIRE:
1953 Chicago signs free agent Ernie Banks.
1969 Atlanta sent Mickey Rivers and Clint Compton to the Angels for Hoyt Wilhelm and
