JULY 14 IN BASEBALL HISTORY
» 2000: Atlanta 2B Quilvio Veras tears the ACL in his right knee. He will miss the remainder of the season.
» 1990: Dante Bichette, Dave Winfield, and Brian Downing each homer twice in California’s 8-7 win over Toronto. This is the eighth time three teammates have done this in the ML.
» 1979: Chicago's Claudell Washington has three HRs and five RBI in a 12-4 defeat of Detroit.
» 1969: San Diego's Joe Niekro defeats his brother Phil of the Braves 1-0.
» 1958: Superior Court Judge Praeger voids the Chavez Ravine pact, stating the city cannot sell its land to private concerns. Los Angeles will appeal Judge Praeger's ruling.
» 1946: Player-manager Lou Boudreau of Cleveland hits four doubles and one HR, but Ted Williams wallops three HRs and drives in eight runs, as the Boston Red Sox top the Indians 11-10. In the Sox second-game win, the famous Boudreau Shift is born. Boudreau shifts all his players, except the 3B and LF, to the right side of the diamond in an effort to stop Williams. Ted grounds out and walks twice while ignoring the shift.
» 1934: Gehrig's consecutive-game string is extended by having him lead off, listed in the lineup as SS. He singles and leaves the game.
» 1915: White Sox P Red Faber steals three bases in the fourth inning against the A's. With the White Sox leading 4-2 in the fourth and rain threatening, the A's try to delay the game. Joe Bush purposely hits Faber with a pitch, and Faber, trying to speed up the game, tries to get thrown out by stealing. Little effort is made to retire him, and he scores Chicago's fifth run. His "steal" of home turns out to be the winning run, as rain never materializes, and Chicago wins 6-4.
» 1899: Kid Nichols pitches a one-hitter against Pittsburgh, winning 2-0. Opposing hurler Jack Chesbro, in his 2nd game, makes the hit.
» 1889: A. G. Spalding's plan for classifying minor leagues is printed across the nation. It calls for strict salary and draft-price limits according to the class of the leagues, features that will serve as the basis for a century to come.
