JULY 3 IN BASEBALL HISTORY
» 2000: The White Sox outslug the Royals, 14-10, scoring eight runs in the fifth inning. Chicago becomes the first team since the 1984 Detroit Tigers to win 12 straight games on the road.
» 1988: Oakland's Gene Nelson steals a base while pinch running for Don Baylor in a 9-8, 16-inning win over Toronto, becoming the first AL pitcher to steal a base since John "Blue Moon" Odom in 1973.
» 1977: On his 24th birthday, Angel Frank Tanana records his 14th straight complete game in beating the A's 6-4, and raising his record to 12-5. His overworked arm would plague him for the rest of the season, and he would wind up 15-9.
» 1966: P Tony Cloninger hits two grand slams and drives in nine runs, as the Braves rout the Giants at Candlestick Park 17-3. Cloninger is the first NL player to hit two in a game, and his nine RBI set a major-league record for pitchers.
» 1951: Former Dodger pitcher Hugh Casey, 37, kills himself with a shotgun blast to the neck.
» 1939: Cleveland's Ben Chapman ties the modern major-league record with three triples, as Bob Feller notches his 13th victory 4-2.
» 1929: The Cubs and Reds turn nine double plays, tying the Detroit-Washington 1925 mark. The 7-5 Chicago win is their seventh in a row, giving them a half-game lead over the Pirates.
» 1912: The Giants Rube Marquard nips Nap Rucker 2-1 to capture his 19th straight game this season. With 2 end-of-year wins in 1911, he has 21 in a row in regular season play. Both marks are records. On the 8th, the Cubs will beat him, but he will ultimately compile a league-leading 26 victories against 11 defeats. Today's game is the Giants' 16th consecutive win. Brooklyn will end the streak tomorrow.
» 1900: At Pittsburgh, Jack Chesbro beats the Beaneaters, 2-1; the Boston battery is Lewis and Clarke.
» 1886: Behind the pitching of Amos Alonzo Stagg, who will make his mark as a football coach, Yale beats Harvard in the deciding game of the college championship.
