Today in Baseball History from the BR Bullpen

Full Today in Baseball History

  • 1900 - The Boston Beaneaters score 13 runs in the first inning against the Cardinals on 10 hits, including two triples by Buck Freeman, and four errors. The game is shortened by rain after six innings and Boston wins, 18-5.
  • 1900 - Christy Mathewson makes his 2nd appearance, relieving in the 3rd against the Pirates with the score 3-1. The Bucs rattle the rookie for six runs in the inning to lead 9-1. Matty gives up another run in his seven innings, as Pittsburgh coasts to victory.
  • 1902 - At Chicago, the Reds Cy Seymour sets a major-league record by hitting four sac flies in a 6 - 1 win over the Chicago Orphans. Seymour will be tied but never topped.
  • 1903 - At New York, the Pilgrims bang seven doubles and beat the Highlanders, 7-5. Freeman and Parent each have two doubles.
  • 1904 - Before 1,522 in New York, vet Al Orth makes his first start for the Highlanders and matches zeroes with Chicago's Yip Owen. In the bottom of the 9th, Patsy Dougherty leads off with a triple and scores on Willie Keeler's bouncer through the infield.
  • 1914 - At Boston, the Cubs belt Otto Hess for a 5-4 win. Boston is now 12 in back of the Giants, winners of 6 straight.
  • 1916 - Tris Speaker has three hits against lefty Babe Ruth to finally drive him from the mound in the 8th inning. Reliever Rube Foster wild pitches home a run and Braggo Roth's 2nd double gives Cleveland a 5-3 lead. The Tribe wins it 5-4, with Ruth the loser. Ruth is 2-for-4 with a two run single.
  • 1936 - The Red Sox tally 20 hits to crush the Tigers, 18-3, scoring all their runs in two big innings. The Sox score six in the 2nd to drive Tommy Bridges from the mound, then tally 12 more in the 5th: it is the 2nd time this month that the Red Sox have score more than 10 runs in an inning. Doc Cramer has four Boston hits, while three others have three hits. Lefty Grove gives up nine hits in the easy win.
  • 1938 - Cleveland's Johnny Allen has his 12-game win streak snapped by the Red Sox.
  • 1939 - With the score tied 3-3, Cleveland scores 9 runs and Philadelphia 5 in a record-setting 9th inning.
