  • 1919 - The NL votes to ban the spitball's use by all new pitchers. The ban will be formally worked out by the Rules Committee in February.

  • 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. The 1925 Series will commence at the NL city.

  • 1925 - The AL goes on record as opposing the use of resin by pitchers. In a joint meeting, future World Series games are set to start at 1:30 p.m. Second-place money withheld from the eight Black Sox in 1920 is distributed to the other 1920 White Sox; and players signed by August 31 are declared eligible for World Series play.

  • 1935 - Jimmie Foxx, with Johnny Marcum, is sold by the A's to the Red Sox for $150,000; Al Simmons is sold by the White Sox to the Tigers for $75,000.
