Full Today in Baseball History

• 1900 - In the Reds 15 - 7 pasting of St. Louis, Cy Young is knocked out of the box for the 2nd consecutive game. This is a first in his career. Young will finish 32 of his 35 starts in compiling a 19 - 19 record.
• 1901 - Umpire Bob Emslie becomes ill before the 2nd game of the Superbas-Phils twin bill and Phils P Al Orth and Superbas C Jim McGuire fill in for him. However, it is a close game, and Orth is needed as a PH in the 9th. Doc White then becomes the 2nd umpire as Orth hits a single and scores a run. Brooklyn holds on for a 3-2 win.
• 1904 - In a rain-shortened game in Pittsburgh, the Giants win 3 - 0, Christy Mathewson allows just three hits.
• 1915 - The Giants purchase the contract of George Kelly from Victoria for $1200. Kelly is the nephew of Bill Lange, 1890s star of the Chicago Nationals.
• 1928 - Art Shires of the White Sox strokes four hits, including a triple, in his major-league debut.
• 1931 - At St. Louis, Lou Gehrig hits his 33rd homer in the 4th to tie Ruth for the ML lead, but the Babe answers in the 9th with his 34th, a grand slam over RF roof, to give the Yanks a 7 - 3 win over the Browns. Lefty Gomez almost has New York's first shutout of the season, but he weakens in the 9th.
• 1934 - Judge Landis rules against Dizzy Dean. The Cards end his suspension, and Dean returns to the team to avoid further loss in salary.
• 1940 - The Reds score three runs in the 9th -- 2 coming home on a single by Frank McCormick -- to defeat the Giants, 3 - 2.
• 1941 - Larry MacPhail stages a fashion show before a Ladies Day crowd at Ebbets Field. Such promotions, as well as the Dodgers pennant race, will push the home gate to over one million fans.
• 1947 - The Boston Braves hit a million attendance for the first time in their history and the fans get their money's worth in the 34-hit slugfest. The Pirates notch 20 to outslug the Braves, 16 - 10. Jim Russell with a triple, double and three singles and Jimmy Bloodworth with four singles lead the Buc shots.
