JULY 26 IN BASEBALL HISTORY
» 2000: The Blue Jays defeat the Indians, 8-1, as David Wells wins his major league-leading 16th game. Bartolo Colon takes the loss for Cleveland, despite striking out the first six batters to face him to tie Bob Feller’s team record.
» 1987: Catfish Hunter, Billy Williams, and Ray Dandridge are inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
» 1977: Padres rookie Gene Richards ties the NL record with 6 hits in an extra-inning contest.
» 1967: With a NL-record-tying, 4-run-scoring sacrifice flies in one game, New York wins an 11-5 decision at San Francisco.
» 1957: Jim Bunning of the Tigers 2-hits New York 3-2, but one of the hits is Mickey Mantle's ninth left-handed HR, the 200th HR of his career.
» 1946: Monty Stratton, who lost a leg in a hunting accident in 1938, wins his 14th game for Sherman (East Texas League). He will finish with 18 victories for the second-division team.
» 1936: Umpire Bill Summers is knocked unconscious by a pop bottle thrown from an unruly crowd at Comiskey Park. Judge Landis, on hand to watch the game, offers a $5,000 reward over the PA system for the culprit, but only draws more boos.
» 1922: In several pregame fights between Yankees teammates, Bob Meusel and Wally Schang duke it out in the dugout. Then Babe Ruth and Wally Pipp take a turn. The players then turn on the Browns, beating them 11–6. Ruth bangs two homers, Pipp adds another, and Schang chips in with a two-run triple.
» 1911: The league-leading Phils are dealt a blow when C-manager Red Dooin suffers a broken leg in a collision at home plate with the Cards' Rebel Oakes.
» 1900: Gus Weyhing is released by the Cardinals but does not get the 10 days pay he's entitled to. He gets a deputy sheriff to seize the St. Louis share of the gate at Brooklyn, but it comes to less than the $100 he's claiming.
