Quote of the Day
"I remember one time I'm batting against the Dodgers in Milwaukee. They lead, 2-1, it's the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two out and the pitcher has a full count on me. I look over to the Dodger dugout and they're all in street clothes." — Bob Uecker

1941 - Joe DiMaggio extends his consecutive-game hitting streak to 45 by hitting a home run off Boston's Dick Newsome, surpassing Willie Keeler's all-time record.
1950 - Bob Feller, wins his 200th major-league game, a 5-3 Cleveland win over Detroit in the second game of a doubleheader split.
1951 - Bill Veeck gets the necessary 75 percent of outstanding stock on the last day of his option to buy the St. Louis Browns from Bill and Charlie DeWitt.
1963 - At 12:31 A.M. in San Francisco, Willie Mays homers off Warren Spahn in the bottom of the 16th inning to give Juan Marichal a 1-0 victory in the National League's longest game ended by a home run.
