Events[edit]
- 1896 - Future Negro Leagues star and Hall of Famer Oscar Charleston is born in Indianapolis.
- 1905 - Christy Mathewson shuts out the Philadelphia Athletics, 2 - 0, to give the New York Giants the World Series in five games. All are shutouts, with Mathewson getting three, Joe McGinnity one, and Charles Bender of Philadelphia one.
- 1906 - The Chicago White Sox jump on the Chicago Cubs' Three Finger Brown for seven runs in the first two innings and coast behind Doc White to a 7 - 1 World Series-ending victory. The losers share of $439.50 for the Cubs is the lowest ever.
- 1908 - Before the smallest crowd in World Series history (6,210), the host Detroit Tigers are tamed on three hits by Orval Overall, who strikes out 10 in a 2 - 0 triumph. The Chicago Cubs win the World Series in five games. Upset over seating arrangements at the World Series, sports reporters form a professional group that will become the Baseball Writers Association of America.
- 1909 - George Mullin of the Detroit Tigers outlasts three Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers for a 5 - 4 victory that sends the World Series to a seventh game in Detroit. This is the first World Series to go the limit.
- 1911 - The Philadelphia Athletics go into the World Series minus their star rookie first baseman Stuffy McInnis. The veteran Harry Davis replaces him and drives in the first run as Charles Bender tries again to outpitch Christy Mathewson. The New York Giants are dressed in the same black uniforms they wore in their 1905 conquest of the Athletics, and this Series starts as their last meeting ended: Mathewson wins it, 2 - 1. The largest crowd ever to watch a ball game - 38,281 - is at the Polo Grounds. Gate receipts are $77,379.
- 1912 - Rube Marquard pitches a complete game and Buck Herzog has four hits with two doubles and three stolen bases, as the New York Giants beat the Boston Red Sox, 5 - 2, in Game 6 of the World Series.
- 1923 - Joe Bush spins a three-hitter as the New York Yankees beat the New York Giants, 8 - 1, in Game 5 of the World Series. The Yankees lead the Series 3-2.
- 1927 - Walter Johnson retires as a player. He will return to the majors as a manager.
- 1929 - The Philadelphia Athletics rally for three runs in the 9th inning to beat the Chicago Cubs, 3 - 2, and take the World Series in five games. A two-run home run by Mule Haas ties the game and Bing Miller hits a RBI double to get the victory. There won't be another winning rally by a team down two runs in the 9th inning of a Series final game in the 20th century. The Arizona Diamondbacks, in 2001, will do it next.
- 1964 - In Game 6 of the World Series, New York Yankees Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle hit home runs on back-to-back pitches from Curt Simmons of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Joe Pepitone belts a grand slam. New York wins, 8 - 3, at St. Louis and evens the Series, forcing a decisive seventh game.
- 1965 - Sandy Koufax pitches his second shutout to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 2 - 0 victory over the Minnesota Twins and the World Series in seven games.
- 1968 - The National League holds an expansion draft for two new teams: the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres. The list of players taken in the draft includes future Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm and notables like Nate Colbert, Donn Clendenon, Cito Gaston, Dave Giusti, Mudcat Grant, Al McBean, Manny Mota and Maury Wills. The American League will hold its draft tomorrow.
- 1969 - Tommie Agee and Ed Kranepool hit home runs, Agee makes two brilliant catches in center field, and the New York Mets blank the Baltimore Orioles, 5 - 0. The underdog Mets take a 2-1 World Series lead.
- 1971 - Nelson Briles of the Pittsburgh Pirates throws a two-hit shutout against the Baltimore Orioles for a 4 - 0 victory which gives the Pirates a 3-2 edge in the World Series.
- 1972 - Catcher Gene Tenace becomes the first player ever to hit home runs in each of his first two at-bats in the World Series, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 3 - 2 opening-game victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
- 1973 - The New York Mets win Game 2 of the World Series, 10 - 7, scoring four runs in an 11th inning that features the last major league hit by Willie Mays and two errors by Oakland Athletics second baseman Mike Andrews. Oakland owner Charlie Finley subsequently puts Andrews on the disabled list in a move that will be questioned by commissioner Bowie Kuhn and then reversed.
- 1975 - The Cincinnati Reds take a 2-1 lead in the World Series with a controversial 6 - 5, ten-inning victory over the Boston Red Sox in Cincinnati. In the 10th inning, Reds pinch-hitter Ed Armbrister attempts a sacrifice bunt and bounces the ball in front of the plate. Boston catcher Carlton Fisk, in an attempt to field the ball, collides with Armbrister and throws the ball into center field while trying to force Cesar Gerónimo at second base. Gerónimo goes to third base and later scores the game winner, as Armbrister moves to second. Home plate umpire Larry Barnett rules there is no interference despite heated protests by the Red Sox.
- 1976 - Chris Chambliss hits a 9th-inning home run off Mark Littell to give the New York Yankees a 7 - 6 victory over the Kansas City Royals in the ALCS and their first American League pennant since 1964.
- 1984 - Kirk Gibson hits two home runs to lead the Detroit Tigers to an 8 - 4 victory and the World Series in five games over the San Diego Padres.
- 1992:
- The Toronto Blue Jays become the first Canadian baseball team to reach the World Series with a 9 - 2 victory over the Oakland Athletics in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. Joe Carter and Candy Maldonado hit home runs for Toronto.
- Pinch-hitter Francisco Cabrera delivers a two-out single in the bottom of the 9th inning, driving in the tying and winning runs for the Atlanta Braves in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. Cabrera's heroics give the Braves a dramatic 3 - 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and a spot in the World Series.
- 1997 - Kevin Brown pitches a complete game and Bobby Bonilla collects three RBI as the Florida Marlins defeat the Atlanta Braves, 7 - 4, winning the National League Championship Series, 4-2.
- 1998 - The San Diego Padres reach the World Series for the first time since 1984, shutting down the Atlanta Braves' comeback bid behind MVP Sterling Hitchcock, for a 5 - 0 victory in Game 6 of the NLCS.
- 2000 - Giving the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series, Roger Clemens strikes out a series record-setting 15 and one-hits the Seattle Mariners, 5 - 0.
- 2002 - Ending the regular season with a record of 90-46-1, Japan's Seibu Lions post the Pacific League's highest win total in 46 years. Slugger Alex Cabrera fails to hit a home run in the team's last five games and has to settle with tying the single-season home run record with 55 along with Sadaharu Oh (1964) and Tuffy Rhodes (2001).
- 2003 - Holding a 3 - 0 lead and needing only five more outs to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945, the Chicago Cubs give up eight runs on five hits, three walks and an error to the Florida Marlins. Chicago appears to come apart after a Cubs fan, sitting along the left-field foul line at Wrigley Field, tries to catch a foul ball that is about to be caught by Cubs' outfielder Moises Alou for the second out of the inning, although the bigger blow comes when SS Alex Gonzalez misplays a routine double play grounder a few moments later. The Cubs also will lose the seventh and final game of the NLCS.
- 2011:
- The Cardinals take a 3-2 lead over Milwaukee in the NLCS with a 7 - 1 win at home, even though, once again, their starting pitcher, Jaime Garcia, fails to reach the 6th inning. The longest outing by a Cards starter this series has been a five-inning stint by Chris Carpenter in Game 3. However, the bullpen is once again outstanding, with four pitchers keeping Milwaukee off the scoreboard for the last 4 1/3 innings and Octavio Dotel recording the win. St. Louis scores three times against Zack Greinke in the 2nd inning and then steadily adds to this early lead to get the win.
- At the 2011 Baseball World Cup, Team USA advances to the Bronze Medal game as Jordy Mercer hits a three-run homer to beat Venezuela, 7 - 4. The US scores six times in the last inning off Venezuelan closer Gabriel Alfaro. In the other key match-up today, Cuba tops Canada, 8 - 2, with the winner advancing to the Gold Medal game and the loser going to the Bronze Medal game. Frederich Cepeda falls a homer shy of the cycle.
- 2012:
- The Tigers take a two-games-to-none lead in the ALCS with a 3 - 0 shutout of the Yankees at New Yankee Stadium. Anibal Sanchez pitches seven innings in another strong outing by a Detroit starter. Hiroki Kuroda retires the first 15 Tigers batters but allows a run in the 6th on a botched potential double play grounder. A blown call by second base umpire Jeff Nelson in the 8th leads to two more runs, and results in manager Joe Girardi's ejection.
- The Cardinals roll out to an early 6 - 0 lead over the Giants in Game 1 of the NLCS, then hang on for a 6 - 4 win. The Cards chase Madison Bumgarner in the 4th inning, thanks in part to homers by David Freese and Carlos Beltran. The Giants jump on starter Lance Lynn for four runs in the bottom of the 4th, but Joe Kelly relieves him and stops the bleeding before the rest of the team's bullpen shuts out San Francisco for the remainder of the game.
- 2013 - The Dodgers shut out the Cardinals, 3 - 0, to take Game 3 of the NLCS. Hyun-Jin Ryu pitches seven scoreless innings in out-dueling Adam Wainwright.
- 2014:
- The Giants win Game 3 of the NLCS, 5 - 4, over the Cardinals, on a 10th-inning error by pitcher Randy Choate, who fields Gregor Blanco's bunt but throws the ball into right field, allowing Brandon Crawford to score the winning run from second base. A three-run double by Travis Ishikawa had put San Francisco ahead, 4 - 0, in the 1st inning, but they fail to generate any more offence, allowing St. Louis to come back and force extra innings.
- The Royals take a 3-0 lead in the ALCS with a 2 - 1 win over the Orioles, their seventh straight since the start of the postseason. 3B Mike Moustakas makes a couple of excellent defensive plays and the Royals' bullpen ends the game with four perfect innings while Billy Butler's sacrifice fly scores pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson with the winning run in the 6th.
- The British Baseball Hall of Fame announces its class of 2014, all of whom excelled on the field and played key off-the-field roles: pitching sensation and commissioner Cody Cain; catcher, author, sportscaster and agent Josh Chetwynd; and pitcher and national team general manager Alan Smith, all whom played in the 1990s.
- 2015:
- The Blue Jays complete a comeback from a two-games-to-none deficit by defeating the Rangers, 6 - 3, in Game 5 of the ALDS. The game features a wild 7th inning. In the top half, Rougned Odor scores the go-ahead run for Texas when C Russell Martin's throw back to P Aaron Sanchez hits Shin-soo Choo's bat and goes astray; the crowd at Rogers Centre screams for an interference call and pelts the field with debris, but the umpires allow the run to stand. In the bottom of the inning, the Rangers commit three straight errors to load the bases with none out, then the Blue Jays score four runs on a pop-up that drops just out of Odor's reach, and a three-run homer by Jose Bautista off Sam Dyson, followed by an epic bat flip.
- The Royals defeat the Astros, 7 - 2, in Game 5 of the other Division Series. Johnny Cueto retires 19 straight batters after giving up a two-run homer to Luis Valbuena in the 2nd, while the Royals take advantage of three-run innings in the 5th and 8th to win the game.
- 2016 - The Indians win Game 1 of the ALCS, 2 - 0, over the Blue Jays, behind the combined pitching of Corey Kluber, Andrew Miller and Cody Allen. Francisco Lindor accounts for both runs with a homer off Marco Estrada in the 6th.
- 2017:
- The Astros take a two-games-to-none lead in the ALCS with a 2 - 1 defeat of the Yankees in Game 2. Justin Verlander pitches a masterful complete game and the Astros score the winning run in the bottom of the 9th as Jose Altuve runs all the way from first base on a double to right by Carlos Correa off Aroldis Chapman.
- The Dodgers win Game 1 of the NLCS, 5 - 2, at home over the Cubs. Chris Taylor breaks a 2 - 2 tie with a solo homer off Hector Rondon in the 6th, and Yasiel Puig follows suit with a shot off Mike Montgomery in the 7th as six Dodgers pitchers limit Chicago to five hits.
- In Germany, the Heidenheim Heideköpfe win the Bundesliga-1 finals, topping the Bonn Capitals three games to two. Game 5 is a one-sided affair at 8 - 1 as Clayton Freimuth fans 12 in a three-hitter (winning finals MVP) and Mitch Nilsson drives in three runs, including a homer. Shawn Larry also goes deep for Heidenheim.
- 2018 - The Red Sox knot up the ALCS with a 7 - 5 win over the Astros in Game 2. For the first time of his career, David Price is on the winning end of one of his postseason starts, although he falls one out short of qualifying for the win, which goes to Matt Barnes. After Marwin Gonzalez puts Houston ahead with a two-run homer over the Green Monster in the 3rd, Jackie Bradley hits a bases-clearing double off Gerrit Cole in the bottom of the inning that gives Boston a 5 - 4 lead it will never relinquish.
- 2019 - The Nationals win Game 3 of the NLCS, 8 - 1 over the Cardinals, to move to within one game of a first-ever participation in the World Series. Stephen Strasburg allows just one unearned run while striking out 12 in seven innings, while Howie Kendrick has three doubles and Victor Robles homers to lead the offence.
- 2020:
- The Dodgers hit three homers and score a record 11 runs off Kyle Wright and Grant Dayton in the 1st inning of Game 3 of the NLCS, as they go on to win a 15 - 3 blowout over the Braves. Highlights include long balls on back-to-back pitches by Joc Pederson and Edwin Rios, a grand slam by Max Muncy, and for Atlanta, Cristian Pache's first career homer. The win cuts the Braves' lead in the series to two games to one.
- The Astros avoid elimination in Game 4 of the ALCS, as for the first time this postseason, both starting pitchers go six innings, and Zack Greinke comes out on top, a 4 - 3 winner over Tyler Glasnow of the Rays. Jose Altuve and George Springer both hit homers for Houston, while Randy Arozarena continues to build his legend with a two-run shot for the Rays, already his fifth long ball of the postseason.
- 2021:
- In an unexpected move, the Cardinals fire manager Mike Shildt, who has led the team to three consecutive postseason appearances. Team President John Mozeliak cites vague "philosophical differences" to justify the decision.
- The Division Series between the Dodgers and Giants, the teams who posted the two best records in the majors this year, goes to the very limit, as the Dodgers score the winning run in the top of the 9th in Game 5, with Cody Bellinger's single off Camilo Doval driving in Justin Turner. Max Scherzer then comes out to pitch the bottom of the 9th, earning his first career save in nailing down the 2 - 1 win.
- Neptunus outfielder Christian Diaz becomes the first player to hit two triples in a Holland Series game, both crucial in a 6 - 5 Game 5 win over the Amsterdam Pirates to give Neptunus a three-games-to-two lead in the Series.
- 2022:
- The Guardians tie up their Division Series against the Yankees at one game apiece with a 4 - 2 win in ten innings. Emmanuel Clase, normally Cleveland's closer, pitches two and a third innings for the win, while Jameson Taillon, normally a starter, is unable to retire anyone in the top of the 10th and is charged with the loss.
- In the National League Division Series, the Phillies jump all over the Braves' pitching for a 9 - 1 win in Game 3, highlighted by a six-run 3rd inning and homers by Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper. In the other Division Series, the Padres get a couple of early runs off an ineffective Tony Gonsolin and reliever Andrew Heaney and make it hold in a 2 - 1 win. Blake Snell is the winner with help from four relievers.
