Today in Baseball History from the BR Bullpen

Full Today in Baseball History

• 1900 - The Boston Beaneaters score 13 runs in the first inning against the Cardinals on 10 hits, including two triples by Buck Freeman, and four errors. The game is shortened by rain after six innings and Boston wins, 18-5.
• 1900 - Christy Mathewson makes his 2nd appearance, relieving in the 3rd against the Pirates with the score 3-1. The Bucs rattle the rookie for six runs in the inning to lead 9-1. Matty gives up another run in his seven innings, as Pittsburgh coasts to victory.
• 1901 - Brooklyn righty Frank Kitson outpitches Christy Mathewson, allowing just one Giant hit in beating New York, 5-0. Four of the Brooklyn runs are unearned. Algie McBride has the only safety, a single, for NY.
• 1903 - At New York, the Pilgrims bang seven doubles and beat the Highlanders, 7-5. Freeman and Parent each have two doubles.
• 1904 - Before 1,522 in New York, vet Al Orth makes his first start for the Highlanders and matches zeroes with Chicago's Yip Owen. In the bottom of the 9th, Patsy Dougherty leads off with a triple and scores on Willie Keeler's bouncer through the infield.
• 1907 - Red Sox manager Deacon McGuire belts a pinch-hit solo homer off Detroit's Ed Siever. At age 43, McGuire is the oldest player to ever hit a pinch homer. His first round tripper came back in 1884.
• 1910 - Connie Mack trades Joe Jackson to Cleveland for Bris Lord, a former A's outfielder.
• 1918 - Walter Johnson gives up one hit (a triple by George Sisler) in the first 11 innings of a 15-inning, 4-hit 1-0 win.
• 1936 - The Cubs pound out 19 hits to beat the Phils, 17-4, and extend their lead over the Cardinals to three games. Curt Davis is the winner, holding his former teammates to six safeties. Three of the Philly hits come in the 9th when they score three runs on Bashore's single and consecutive homers by Chuck Klein and Dolph Camilli. The Cubs are led by homers from Augie Galan and Ethan Allen as they chase Bucky Walters with four runs in the 3rd, and add another nine off Syl Johnson in three innings.
• 1937 - Washington's Mel Almada ties the major-league record by scoring 5 runs in the first game of a doubleheader. When he adds four in the second game, he sets an 18-inning record.
