Bullpen:Today in Baseball History
  • 1918 - National League secretary John Heydler is formally elected president of the league. He had been acting president since John Tener stepped down last August.
  • 1924 - The two leagues agree on a permanent rotation for World Series play proposed by Charles Ebbets: first two games at one league's park, next three at the other leagues park, last two if needed back at the first league's park, with openers to alternate between leagues. Next year's World Series will commence at the National League city.
  • 1925 - The American League goes on record as opposing the use of resin by pitchers, but the joint rules committee finally votes it in. The committee also agrees that future World Series games are set to start at 1:30 P.M.; 2nd-place money withheld from the eight Black Sox in 1920 is distributed to the other 1920 White Sox; and players signed by August 31st are declared eligible for World Series play. Finally, no times at bat will be charged in a fly ball advances a runner to second base or third base, as well as home.
  • 1935 - After three years in Chicago, Al Simmons is sold by the White Sox to the Tigers for $75,000.
  • 1936 - Commissioner Landis announces his ruling on the Bob Feller case. Feller joined Cleveland in July and Des Moines (Western League) protested, claiming the pitcher for themselves. Landis let Feller stay with Cleveland, pending his final ruling, which is announced today in favor of the Indians.
