JULY 11 IN BASEBALL HISTORY
» 2000: The American League wins its fourth consecutive All-Star Game, beating the National League, 6-3. Derek Jeter of the Yankees and Chipper Jones of the Braves each go 3-for-3 in the contest. Jeter takes MVP honors, while Chicago’s James Baldwin gets the victory.
» 1990: At Comiskey Park, the White Sox honor their 1917 World Championship team by donning old-fashioned uniforms and scaling concessions back to WWI prices. Chicago then loses 12-9 to Milwaukee in 13 innings.
» 1980: The Dodgers sell knuckleballer Charlie Hough to the Rangers for an undisclosed sum.
» 1968: Groundbreaking takes place for Kansas City's $43 million Jackson County Sports Complex.
» 1957: In Pittsburgh, Braves IF Felix Mantilla and OF Billy Bruton collide while chasing a pop fly. Mantilla will miss 19 games while Bruton will suffer knee damage and be out almost a year.
» 1945: Aaron Robinson, Yankees C, returns from the military. Red Ruffing is back too, and so are Hugh Mulcahy and Buddy Lewis. Charlie Keller will follow, and a couple of dozen former major-league players will be in uniform before the season is over.
» 1935: Pete Fox's hitting streak is stopped after 29 games.
» 1925: George Sisler drives in seven runs in two innings, tripling with the bases full in the third and hitting a grand slam in the fourth, in a Browns 10-5 win over Washington.
