"I'm the kind of guy that doesn't let up. If I got you bleeding in six or seven places, I'll make sure you're bleeding in eight or nine." -DAVE STEWART,ML pitcher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1935) Despite Joe 'Ducky' Medwick hitting for the cycle, the Reds beat the Cardinals and Daffy Dean, 8-6.
(1941) In a doubleheader with the Senators, Joe DiMaggio ties and then breaks the AL consecutive game hitting streak of 41 established by George Sisler. In the opener he knots the record with a double off Dutch Leonard and in the nightcap tops the record with a seventh inning single against Walt Masterson.
(1989) Boise manager Mal Finchman is suspended for one game for returning to field after being ejected disguised as the team's mascot Humphrey the Hawk.
(1990) For the first time since 1917 (Hippo Vaughan & Fred Toney), two no-hitters are thrown on the same day as A's Dave Stewart shut outs the Jays 5-0 and the Dodger's Fernando Valenzuela blanks the Cardinals, 6-0.
(2000) On his much awaited return to Shea Stadium, John Rocker pitches a perfect eighth inning in front of 46,998 booing fans helping the Braves to stop the Mets' winning streak at seven, 6-4. Prior to the game the Atlanta reliever read a statement apologizing for his inappropriate comments about New Yorkers which appeared in the off season in Sports Illustrated.
(2000) After trying to get Juan Gonzales and Sammy Sosa to bolster their failing offense, the Yankees acquire David Justice from the Indians for Ricky Ledee and two players to be named later.

"Man may penetrate the outer reaches of the universe, he may solve the very secret of eternity itself, but for me, the ultimate human experience is to witness the flawless execution of a hit-and-run."
