  • 1891 - The New York Giants' salary list is leaked to the press. It shows a total player payroll of $54,600 with Buck Ewing's $5,500 salary topping the scale.

  • 1995 - US President Bill Clinton’s deadline for a resolution to the baseball strike passes without a resolution. On January 26, Clinton had told the players and owners to resume bargaining and reach an agreement by the 6th. The strike will continue for nearly two more months.

2000s[]

  • 2005 - At Mazatlan, Mexico, pitcher Francisco Campos turns in another brilliant outing, and Mexican champion Mazatlan Eagles (Aguilas de Mazatlán) holds on in the final game, edging the Dominican Republic, 4–3, to win the 56th Caribbean World Series.
  • 2006 - Daniel Cabrera allowed only one run and two hits in five innings, pitching the Dominican Republic's Licey Tigers past Mexico's Mazatlan 3-1 in the Caribbean Series.

Home field advantage aside, Venezuela is heavily favored in tomorrow’s decisive game against Dominican Republic.
