Today in Baseball History from the BR Bullpen

Full Today in Baseball History

• 1906 - After Pilgrims manager Jimmy Collins takes a vacation without permission, he is suspended. Chick Stahl is named acting manager.
• 1909 - The Pirates trade 3B Jap Barbeau, 2B Alan Storke, and cash to the Cardinals for 3B Bobby Byrne.
• 1915 - George Sisler again pitches against Walter Johnson and this time wins, 2 - 1. He will be 4 - 4 for the Browns and 1 - 2 next year before moving permanently to 1B. Sisler is helped in the 8th inning when Brownie 2B Del Pratt nabs pinch runner Horace Milan, in his ML debut, with a hidden ball trick. Horace is the brother of teammate Clyde Milan.
• 1925 - The city of Detroit, MI gives a dinner for Ty Cobb honoring his 20 years in a Tiger uniform. He's given a trophy by the city and $10,000 by the club.
• 1927 - In St. Louis, the Yankees win their 18th game against the Browns without a loss 8-3.
• 1930 - A little comedy is injected into an 11-inning, 9 - 8 Braves victory over the Phillies. The Braves Rabbit Maranville makes the 3rd out of the 4th inning in a steal attempt at 2B. He argues vigorously and at length. Fresco Thompson of the Phils finally tires of it, picks up the scrappy little guy and carries him to his position at SS.
• 1944 - The Cardinals beat the Reds 3-0 as Ted Wilks (14-1) wins his 11th in a row. He will lose his next start, September 2 in Pittsburgh, 5-4.
• 1944 - Braves 3B Damon Phillips has 11 assists versus the Giants, equaling an 1884 mark.
• 1947 - In St. Louis, Fred Hutchinson does it all for Detroit, whipping the Browns, 5 - 4. After tripling against Ellis Kinder in the 3rd, Hutch takes advantage of the pitcher's big windup to swipe home. He also adds a single.
• 1951 - At Ebbets Field, the Dodgers roll to a 13 - 1 win over the Reds behind Don Newcombe. Gil Hodges drives in seven runs and hits his 35th and 36th homers to tie Ralph Kiner for the homer lead. He also sets a Dodger club record.
