Sources

1800s[]

  • 1892 - On the last day the season, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bumpus Jones, in his first major league appearance, threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This will turn out to be the latest date in the season that a no hitter is ever pitched in the major league. After that, Jones will pitch only one more season, in 1893. He posted a 2-4 career record with 10 strikeouts and a 7.99 ERA in 41. 2 innings of labor.

1900s-1960s[]

1970s-1990s[]

  • 1986:
    • The Boston Red Sox capped one of the greatest comebacks in major league history by defeating the California Angels, 8–1, to win the American League pennant after trailing three games to one in the playoffs.
    • In the longest postseason game ever played – 4 hours and 42 minutes, the New York Mets clinched their third National League crown beating the Houston Astros at the Astrodome, 7–6, in 16 innings. Trailing 3–0 in the ninth inning, Lenny Dykstra and Ray Knight sparked a rally which sent the game into extra inning, where the Mets won after Jesse Orosco recorded the final strike out. The record will be broken in the 2005 season, when Houston defeated the Atlanta Braves in Game Four of the NLDS in a five hours, 50 minutes and 18-inning marathon, to win their Division title.

2000s[]

  • 2003 - Steve Bartman, the Cubs fan who deflected a foul ball in Game Six of the NLCS, releases a statement explaining his actions. During a weepy apology, the 26-year old human resources company worker asks Cubs fans to redirect their negative energy into for positive support for the team during Game Seven of the series.
