  • 1890 - Harry Stovey of Boston's Players League club becomes the first Major League player to reach 100 career home runs.

  • 1956 - Joe Cronin and Hank Greenberg are officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York.

  • 1964 - Kansas City A's rookie Bert Campaneris sends Minnesota to defeat 4-3 with two home runs in his Major League debut. The first comes on the first pitch thrown to him by Jim Kaat. The 21-year-old Cuban and Bob Nieman are the only players since 1900 with two home runs in their first Major League game.

  • 1965 - Dick Stuart homers in a Major League record twenty-third different park when he connects at Shea Stadium in Philadelphia's 5-1 win.

  • 1974 - The National League triumphs 7-2 in the All-Star Game at Pittsburgh. Write-in choice first baseman Steve Garvey of the Dodgers is the game's MVP.

  • 1978 - The Yankees win their fifth straight, 3-1, over the White Sox. At the Chicago airport, Billy Martin, reacting to reporters' questions about Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner, replies, "The two deserve each other. One's a born liar; the other's convicted." The remarks will cost Billy his job.

  • 1991 - Rob Dibble, just back from a three-game suspension, is ejected for throwing at - and hitting - Cubs baserunner Doug Dascenzo in an 8-5 Reds loss.

It is definitely Pat Forde. He is apparently trying to bash our fan base according to the football forum. I don’t read anything he has because he has no morals. Rode Rick Pitino’s jock, said he would get John Calipari fired, and had an affair with a Louisville volleyball player, among other things.
