On June 24 in Baseball History...
1947 - The Dodgers win 4-2 over the Pirates as Jackie
Robinson swipes home for the first of 19 times in his career.
1950 - Giants' catcher Wes Westrum hits three home runs and
a triple. The 27-year old backstop's fifteen total bases help
New York defeat Cincinnati at the Polo Grounds, 12-2.
1950 - Willie Mays makes his professional baseball debut
playing centerfield for Trenton, the Giants' farm team in the
Class B Inter State League. The 20-year old outfielder from
Alabama goes hitless in the game against Hagerstown in Maryland,
but will hit .353 in 81 games, before being promoted to the the
Minneapolis Millers, the Triple A affiliate of the parent club.
1953 - The Braves sign right-hander Joey Jay from
Middletown, Connecticut as an amateur free agent. The 17-year
old bonus baby will become the first former Little Leaguer to
play in the major leagues.
1955 - Washington rookie infielder Harmon Killebrew hits his
first home run in an 18-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
1962 - The longest game ever played in Yankee history ends
thanks to a home run hit by Jack Reed in the 22nd inning. The
Mississippi native's lone big league career homer helps the
Bronx Bombers beat Detroit in Tiger Stadium, 9-7.
1968 - Jim Northrup becomes the sixth big leaguer to hit two
grand slams in the same game. The “Slammer’s” power surge in the
fifth (off Eddie Fisher) and sixth (off Billy Rohr) frames
enable the Tigers to rout the Indians at Cleveland Stadium,
14-3.
1969 - Phillies skipper Bob Skinner suspends Dick Allen
indefinitely after the slugger fails to appear for a twilight
doubleheader at Shea Stadium against New York. The 27-year old
first baseman, who will be reinstated on July 20, got stuck in
traffic after watching a horse race in New Jersey.
1970 - The Reds play their final game at Cincinnati's
Crosley Field, beating the Giants 5-4.
1972 - Culminating a long battle to reach pro baseball,
Bernice Gera umpires the first game of a doubleheader between
Auburn and Geneva (New York-Pennsylvania League). Several
disputes take place and she ejects the Auburn manager. Gera
resigns before the second game, leaving in tears.
1974 - Steve Busby retires the first nine White Sox to set
an A.L. record with 33 consecutive batsmen retired. The Royals
lose, however, 3-1.
1979 - Rickey Henderson makes his major-league debut for
Oakland in a 5-1 loss to Texas in the first game of a
doubleheader. Henderson has a single and double in four at-bats
and steals the first base of his big-league career.
1983 - Milwaukee's Don Sutton strikes out Alan Bannister in
the eighth inning of a 3-2 win over Cleveland to become the
eighth pitcher in major-league history with 3,000 career
strikeouts. County Stadium is packed with 46,037 fans for the
game, mostly to welcome back popular outfielder Gorman Thomas,
who was traded to Cleveland earlier in the month.
1989 - Cardinals outfielder Vince Coleman steals his 39th
and 40th consecutive bases in a 5-2 loss to the Pirates to break
the major-league record set by Davey Lopes in 1975. Coleman has
not been caught stealing since September 15, 1988.
1992 - Commissioner Fay Vincent permanently bans Steve Howe
from baseball after he pleads no contest to misdemeanor charge
of attempting to buy coc@ine. The ban is subsequently overturned
and Vincent resigns September 7 after a vote of no confidence
from owners. Howe will pitch for four more years.
1994 - Jeff Bagwell of the Astros becomes the 28th player to
hit two home runs in one inning when he connects twice in the
sixth against the Dodgers. Bagwell adds another homer in the
eighth.
1997 - Randy Johnson ties Steve Carlton's major-league
record for lefthanders with 19 strikeouts against the Oakland
A's. He breaks Ron Guidry's A.L. mark for lefties, but like
Carlton, Johnson takes the loss in his 19-K game. Mark McGwire's
538-foot home run powers Oakland to a 4-1 victory.

haaaaa, dammit, now I need to go scrolling back and look at the
back of all the other cards; I do remember those factoids to be
hilarious. It's too bad there is so little traffic on here
during games. We could have a lot of fun creating lameass
factoids for people.

AndyMacFAIL- can you show the backs of the cards when you post
these when possible? I don't even care about the front of the
card unless it's especially retarted.

I'll try but when I do a google image search for a specific
player's card only a small percentage of them include the back
of the card too.
Here's another Melton card and June 24th White Sox history fact:

June 24, 1972 - Behind the inspired play of Dick Allen,Wilbur
Wood, Stan Bahnsen, Terry Forster and Carlos May, the White Sox
are in the middle of a pennant chase when the bizarre injury
curse struck again. 3rd baseman Bill Melton fell off a ladder
damaging his back during the previous off season and had been
playing in pain ever since. The defending American League home
run champion was put on the disabled list and lost for the rest
of the year when it was discovered he had a herniated disk. The
reason he was on the ladder? Somehow his son got caught on the
garage roof! The Sox would finish 5˝ games behind the Oakland
A’s.

June 25, 1991 - White Sox pitcher “Black” Jack McDowell fires
the first shutout for the home team in the new Comiskey Park
when he blanks the Mariners 4 - 0 while scattering three hits.
Jack was masterful on the day and carried a no hitter until
former White Sox catcher Scott Bradley and future White Sox Omar
Vizquel both singled with one out in the eighth inning.

On June 25 in Baseball History...
1903 - Boston Beaneater Wiley Piatt becomes the only
20th-century pitcher to lose two complete games in one day,
falling to Pittsburgh 1-0 and 5-3.
1934 - In an 11-2 victory over White Sox, Yankees first
baseman Lou Gehrig hits for the cycle. Although pitcher John
Broaca ties a major league record by striking out five
consecutive times he gets the victory.
1937 - Augie Galan becomes the first National Leaguer to hit
a homer from each side of the plate. The switch-hitter's pair of
round-trippers helps the Cubs beat the Dodgers, 11-2.
1961 - The Orioles and the Angels set a major league record
by using 16 pitchers, eight by each side. Ron Hansen's
14th-inning homer gives Baltimore the 9-8 victory at L.A.'s
Wrigley Field.
1968 - San Francisco rookie Bobby Bonds becomes the second
player to debut with a grand slam as teammate Ray Sadecki blanks
the Dodgers 9-0. Bonds does it on his third at-bat. The only
other player to hit a grand slam in his first major-league game
was William Duggelby of the Philadelphia Nationals in 1898.
1972 - After a legal battle, Beatrice Gera finally becomes
the first woman professional umpire when she works a minor game
in Geneva, New York. Reportedly, Auburn manager Nolan Campbell
argues a close call which brings the new arbitrator to tears
causing her to resign after the game.
1976 - Ranger Toby Harrah becomes the first shortstop in
major-league history to go through an entire doubleheader
without a fielding chance. At the plate, Harrah makes up for the
inactivity, collecting six hits, including a grand slam in the
opener and another round-tripper in the nightcap. The Rangers
beat the White Sox in the first game 8-4, but lose the nightcap
14-9.
1986 - The Phillies give 41-year-old Steve Carlton his
unconditional release and call up Bruce Ruffin to take his place
in the starting rotation.
1988 - Cal Ripken, Jr. plays in his 1,000th consecutive
game, a 10-3 loss to Boston. Ripken's streak is the
sixth-longest in major-league history.
1989 - The Mets' defense does not record a single assist in
a 5-1 win over Philadelphia, tying the major-league record set
by the Indians in 1945. New York pitchers retire the Phillies on
13 strikeouts, 12 fly outs, and two ground balls to first base.
1995 - Rockies first baseman Andres Galarraga becomes the
fourth player to homer in three consecutive innings in an 11-3
win over the Padres. Galarraga, who had seven RBI in the game,
went deep in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings and was on
deck when the Rockies were retired in the ninth.
1997 - The Brewers scarcely even sniff a hit before Jose
Valentin cues Mike Mussina's first offering of the eighth inning
off the end of the bat into short right field for a single in
Baltimore's 9-1 win. It marks the second time in less than a
month that the Orioles ace righthander flirts with a no-hitter
deep into a game. Mussina retired the first 25 Cleveland hitters
at Camden Yards on May 30 before Sandy Alomar's one-out single
in the ninth.

June 25, 2006 - With his White Sox trailing 9-2, second baseman
Tadahito Iguchi hits a three-run bomb in the eighth and then
delivers a game-tying grand slam in the ninth during an eventual
13 inning loss to the Astros at U.S. Cellular Field. Teammates
Scott Podsednik (6/23) and Joe Crede (6/24) had also hit home
runs with the bases full in the two previous games of the series
making it the first time in team history a grand slam was hit in
three consecutive games.
