Sources

1900s-1930s[]

  • 1900 - The St. Louis Cardinals withhold the final month’s pay on all but five players, including John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson, citing late hours, dissipation, and gambling as reasons for the poor showing of the team, which finished tied for fifth place in the National League.
  • 1924 - Kansas City Monarchs manager José Méndez takes the mound to spin a three-hit, 5–0 shutout over the Hilldale Daisies to win the final game of the first Negro League World Series. Loser Nip Winters had pitched the first three Hilldale wins.

1940s-1960s[]

  • 1954 - Shoichi Kaneda of the Tokyo Swallows strikes out his 350th batter, surpassing the MLB season record of 348, set by Bob Feller in 1948. Kaneda already holds the single-game strikeout record in Japan with 15 in 1952 and 1954 and will go on to hold almost every Japanese pitching record before retiring in 1969.

1970s-1980s[]

1990s[]

  • 1990 - The Cincinnati Reds completed one of the biggest upsets in major league history, beating the heavily favored Oakland Athletics, 2–1, to win the World Series in four games. Pitcher José Rijo, with ninth inning help from Randy Myers, won his second game of the series.
  • 1993 - Devon White's two-run triple capped a six-run eighth inning as Toronto rallied for a 15–14 victory over the Phillies and a 3-1 World Series lead. The 29 runs shattered the Series record of 22 set in Game Two of the 1936 Series, when the Yankees beat the New York Giants 18–4. It was also the longest nine-inning game in series history - four hours, 14 minutes.
  • 1999:
    • The Colorado Rockies hire Buddy Bell as their new manager.
    • Boston eye doctor Carmen Puliafito offers free surgery for MLB umpires during the postseason after umpires blew three calls against the Red Sox during the ALCS. Puliafito, who chairs the ophthalmology department at the Tufts University School of Medicine, suspects some umpires are secretly nearsighted. "That's the only explanation I have for these three horrible calls."
