On December 6 in Baseball History...​
  • 1913 - Exhibition teams made up of White Sox and Giants players make a Tokyo stop as part of their world tour and play each other at Keio University Stadium. The Sox win, 9-4. The next day, a combined team defeats Keio University 16-3, then the White Sox beat the Giants, 12-3.

  • 1920 - A lawsuit that awarded $264,000 damages to the Baltimore Federal League club on April 12, 1919, is reversed by a court of appeals, which upholds the reserve clause and holds that baseball is not interstate commerce nor subject to antitrust laws. The original suit was initiated because the Baltimore Feds were not included in the settlement of the Federal League war. They wanted a major league team in Baltimore and didn't get it.

  • 1946 - The major leagues finally accept the contention that invasion of minor league territory will result in compensation for the entire league. The major league clubs agree to return the selection of the All-Star teams, except for pitchers, to a fan ballot.

  • 1960 - A group headed by movie star Gene Autry and former football star Bob Reynolds is awarded the new Los Angeles Angels American League franchise.

  • 1984 - The White Sox trade 1983 AL Cy Young Award winner LaMarr Hoyt and two minor leaguers to the Padres for pitcher Tim Lollar, utility man Luis Salazar, and minor leaguers Ozzie Guillen and Bill Long. Guillen will win the AL Rookie of the Year Award in 1985.

  • 1989 - The Mets trade reliever Randy Myers to the Reds for fellow closer John Franco. Meanwhile, in Cleveland, Joe Carter is sent by the Indians to San Diego for Chris James, Sandy Alomar and Carlos Baerga, and free-agent closer Jeff Reardon signs with the Red Sox.
