Bullpen:Today in Baseball History
  • 1883 - The New York Grammar School League is formed. Only "regular attendees" will be permitted to play in the 14-team league.
  • 1886 - The Kansas City Cowboys are admitted to the National League on a one-year trial basis.
  • 1895 - New York Giants owner Andrew Freedman institutes reserved grandstand seats to attract businessmen.
  • 1916 - The National League celebrates its 40th anniversary with a Waldorf-Astoria banquet. The NL's first president, Morgan G. Bulkeley, is present. The chief speaker is former president William H. Taft.
  • 1920 - The Joint Rules Committee bans all foreign substances or other alterations to the ball by pitchers, including saliva, resin, talcum powder, paraffin, and the shine and emery ball. A pitcher caught cheating will be suspended for 10 days. The American League allows each club to name just two pitchers who will be allowed to use the pitch for one more season. The National League allows each club to name all its spitball pitchers. No pitchers other than those designated will be permitted to use it, and none at all after 1920. Other rules changes: the adoption of writer Fred Lieb's proposal that a game-winning home run with men on base be counted as a home run even if its run is not needed to win the game. Also, the intentional walk is banned, and everything that happens in a protested game will go in the records.
