July 1, 1910 - The new White Sox Park opens‚ decorated with
thousands of yards of bunting. Five bands are on hand and the
mayor presents a banner to Charles Comiskey. The stadium‚ later
called Comiskey Park‚ is baseball's biggest and costs $750‚000
to build. 24‚900 attend the game‚ 1‚100 less than capacity‚ and
see Sox ace Ed Walsh lose 2-0 to the Browns.

July 1, 1962 - In the second game of a doubleheader sweep of the
Indians at Comiskey Park, the White Sox (Juan Pizarro, Nellie
Fox and Al Smith) become the first team in major league history
to record three run-scoring sacrifice flies in one inning. Three
fly balls to Gene Green, two which are dropped by the Cleveland
right fielder, sets up the unprecedented occurrence.

July 1, 1990 - Yankees Andy Hawkins throws the season's 6th
no-hitter‚ but still loses 4-0 to the White Sox. With 2 out in
the bottom of the 8th‚ New York's Mike Blowers misplays Sammy
Sosa's routine grounder for an error‚ and Hawkins walks 2 to
load the bases. Outfielders Jim Leyritz and Jesse Barfield drop
back-to-back fly balls to allow all 4 runs to score. Barfield
loses Ivan Calderon's fly ball in the sun and the ball bounces
off his mitt. The right-hander is not credited with an official
no-hitter because a pitcher must pitch at least nine innings to
be credited with a no-no. Ken Johnson in 1964 was the last
pitcher to lose a no-hitter.

On July 1 in Baseball History...
1859 - In the first college baseball game ever played, Amherst
defeats their archrival, Williams College, 73-32 (66-32 by some
reports). The game is played near the corner of North Street and
Maplewood Avenue in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
1902 - Playing his first game for Connie Mack's A's, Rube
Waddell faces only 27 batters blanking the Orioles, 2–0. The
25-year old southpaw strikes out the side three times by
whiffing Billy Gilbert, Harry Howell, and John Cronin in the 3rd
(on just nine pitches) 6th, and 9th innings.
1910 - White Sox Park opens with a 2-0 loss to the Browns. The
stadium, which becomes known as Comiskey Park, cost $750,000 to
build. The stadium will be the oldest in baseball when it is
closed in 1990 and replaced by a new structure called Comiskey
Park.
1914
missionary and chaplain at Pomona College, becomes the first
person born in China to play in a major league game. The 22-year
old Yankees first baseman from Tientsini, goes hitless in his
only three big league at-bats, but reaches first on a
base-on-balls.
1916 - At age 42 years and four months, Honus Wagner is the
oldest player to hit an inside-the-park home run. He connects
for the Pirates in the fourth inning at Cincinnati.
1920 - Walter Johnson pitches his first no-hitter. An error by
Bucky Harris costs him a perfect game, but Harris' hit drives in
Washington's only run against the Red Sox at Fenway. The next
day Johnson comes up with the first sore arm of his life and is
useless for the rest of the year, finishing 8-10.
1920 - Leaving Robison Field in mid-season, the Cardinals make
their debut as the home team at Sportman's Park, also the home
of the American League's St. Louis Browns, bowing to the
Pirates, 6-2. After signing a ten-year lease for $20,000
annually with Browns' president Phil Ball, the team moves six
blocks to be able to play its home games in a modern ballpark.
1923 - In the opener of a Western League doubleheader‚ the first
4 batters for Wichita all hit homers. The sluggers include Lyman
Smith‚ Jocko Conlon‚ Wes Griffin‚ and Jim Blakesley off
Wichita's Karl Black. Only Jocko will make it to the majors.
1927 - The Browns outslug the White Sox‚ 18 hits to 16‚ and win‚
14-12. St. Louis is led by George Sisler and Ken Williams‚ each
with 4 hits‚ while Chicago gets 2 doubles and a homer from Bibb
Falk. Bert Cole‚ battered for 6 hits in the Browns' 6-run 6th‚
takes the loss. Brownie starter Ernie Nevers last just 3
innings‚ but is awarded the win.
1931 - At Philadelphia‚ Chuck Klein knocks in 5 runs as he hits
for the cycle to lead the Phils to a 11-6 win over the Cubs. The
Phils pull off a triple play‚ the first time that's happened in
a game in which a player cycles.
1934 - At Crosley Field‚ the Cardinals outlast the Reds 8-6 in
an 18-inning first game of a double bill in Cincinnati. Dizzy
Dean and Tony Frietas duel for 17 innings. Joe Medwick homers in
the 17th‚ the first scoring since the 9th‚ but the Reds tie it
up in the bottom of the inning. The Cards plate 2 runs in the
18th off Paul Derringer to win‚ though it takes a running catch
by Medwick with the bases full to finish the game.
1941 - Despite the 95 degree weather‚ 52‚832 are on hand at
Yankee Stadium to watch Joe DiMaggio lead a sweep of the Red
Sox‚ 7-2 and 9-2. The 2nd game is called after 5 innings.
DiMaggio has 2 hits in the first game‚ off Mike Ryba‚ and one in
the 2nd‚ off Jack Wilson‚ to tie Willie Keeler's ML batting
streak of 44 games. The Yankees have 25 hits in the 2 games but
fail to add a HR among their 15 hits in the first game. This
ends their AL streak of 25 consecutive games with at least one
HR. The previous record‚ set by the Tigers in 1940‚ was 17 games
and the Tigers will take back the record in 1994. During the
streak the Bombers have connected for 40 homers‚ 9 by DiMaggio.
1942 - The 1st 7 batters in the first inning score for Cleveland
and the Tribe wins 7-2 over the host White Sox. Five hits‚ a
walk and an error send Orval Grove to a quick shower. His
replacement Jake Wade gives up an RBI single but only allows 2
hits the rest of the way. Al Smith is the winner. Smith will win
10 games this year‚ as will Al Hollingsworth‚ the top number of
victories for a lefty in 1942.
1945 - The first of the superstars returns from the war. Hank
Greenberg, gone for four years, homers in his first game
following his release from the Army. Charlie Gassaway of the
Athletics gives up the blow before 47,700 in a 9-5 win at Briggs
Stadium.
1948 - Brooklyn's Roy Campanella makes his debut, catching Ralph
Branca. Campy doubles in his first at-bat and adds two singles,
but the Giants win 6-4.
1951 - Bob Feller pitches the third no-hitter of his career,
tying the record of Cy Young and Larry Corcoran, as he beats
Detroit's Bob Cain 2-1.
1953 - Mel Parnell win his 100 career game as Boston blanks the
Bronx Bombers at Yankee Stadium, 4-0. Joining CyYoung, Joe Wood,
Lefty Grove and Joe Dobson, the southpaw from New Orleans
becomes the fifth Red Sox hurler in franchise history to reach
the milestone.
1954 - Joe Cunningham of the Cards hits 2 HRs against Milwaukee‚
giving him 3 for his first 2 days in the ML‚ a record unequaled
since. In his 1st seven at bats‚ he has 9 RBI. Cardinal ace
Harvey Haddix (13-4) stops a Joe Adc*ck liner with his knee‚ but
wins 9-2. Haddix never fully recovers during the season from
this injury. Stan Musial chips in with 2 HRs‚ his 25th and 26th.
1956 - Before a PCL game at Lane Field in San Diego‚ Rocky
Colavito takes aim at Don Grate's throwing record of 443+ feet.
Rocky tops out on a throw over the CF fence at 435 feet‚ 10
inches. Grate will improve his mark to 445 feet 1 inch on Fan
Appreciation Night in Minneapolis. He'll take 6 steps before
each throw. (as noted by historian Bill O'Neal)
1958 - The Cubs Tony Taylor hits a ball inside the 3B line that
falls into the rain gutter in fair territory at Wrigley Field.
San Francisco rookie OF Leon Wagner chases the ball‚ but is
fooled by Cubs relief pitchers staring intently under the bench.
Wagner neglects to look for the ball in the gutter 40 to 50 feet
further down. Taylor reaches home with the inside-the-park drive
to help the Cubs win 9-5.
1961 - The Senators stake rookie Carl Mathias to a 3-0 lead over
New York‚ but a Mickey Mantle solo shot‚ a few feet left of the
456-foot sign in left at Yankee Stadium‚ puts New York on the
board. The Nats up the score to 5-1‚ but Mantle then bangs a
3-run homer to make it 5-4 and knock out Mathias [who in his 11
ML games will give up 3 homers to Mantle]. In the 9th‚ Roger
Maris poles a 2-run homer‚ his 28th‚ to give New York a 7-6
victory.
1967 - Baltimore's Jim Palmer gives up a grand slam-but it's in
the minors. Sent to Rochester (International League) to
rehabilitate from back problems‚ Rochester manager Earl Weaver
starts the 21-year-old against Buffalo‚ in a game moved to
Niagara Falls because of racial disturbances on Buffalo's east
side. Palmer is given a 7-0 lead‚ but the Bisons score 5 runs in
the 3rd‚ four coming home on a grand slam by Johnny Bench.
Rochester hangs on to win‚ 10-8.
1968 - A first-inning wild pitch allows a run to break Bob
Gibson's streak of 47 2/3 innings of scoreless pitching, but the
Cards beat the Dodgers 8-1. Gibson will pitch 23 innings before
giving up another run.
1973 - Luis Aparicio of the Red Sox steals the 500th base of his
career in a 9-5 loss to Milwaukee. It is the highest total in
the AL since Eddie Collins retired in 1930.
1973 - At California‚ the Twins' Jim Kaat fires a one-hitter to
beat the Angels‚ 2-1. Frank Robinson's HR in the 2nd is the only
hit. This is the 2nd time in his career that Robby hits a HR to
break up a no hitter: he did it July 30‚ 1971 against KC's Dick
Drago.
1976 - The Indians paste the Toledo Mud Hens 13-1 in an
exhibition game in Toledo. Manager Frank Robinson‚ hitting as
the DH‚ flies out to CF and‚ while returning to the dugout‚
exchanges angry words with Hens P Bob Reynolds. Suddenly‚ Robby
flattens Reynolds with a right-left combination and is quickly
ejected from the game.
1983 - Arbitrator Raymond Goetz rules that the 43 players who
were on the Disabled List during the 1981 players' strike are
not entitled to their salaries for that period. The decision
saves the club owners about $2.5 million.
1984 - Royals pitcher Paul Splittorff, whose 166 victories in 13
seasons are the most in club history, retires.
1994 - The Orioles and Angels combine to hit a major league
record-tying 11 HRs in a contest won by Baltimore‚ 14-7. The
Orioles smash 6 of the round-trippers and the Angels hit 5. It
is the 8th 11-HR game in history. Surprisingly‚ none of the
homers go as far as 400 feet.
1997 - After hitting a bouncer down the Astrodome's first base
line, Tim Bogar comes all the way around to score when Manny
Ramirez doesn't play the ball after it comes to a stop under the
bullpen bench. The Indians outfielder, unaware of the park's
ground rules, begins signaling to the umpire that the ball is
out of play as the Astros infielder circles the bases for an
easy inside-the-park home run.
1998 - During Houston's 10-4 win over the White Sox‚ a wild
pitch bounces into the pocket of home plate umpire Gerry Davis‚
allowing Chicago's Ray Durham to score while Astros catcher Brad
Ausmus scurries around the plate trying to find the ball. Says
Ausmus: ``I asked (Davis) if I was supposed to pick him up and
throw him in front of the runner."(San Angelo Standard). Shaun
Berry is 4-for-4 including a homer‚ while teammate Jeff Bagwell
has a HR and scores 3 times.
1999 - The Brewers defeat the Cubs‚ 19-12‚ as SS Jose Valentin
hits 2-run HRs from each side of the plate. 2B Ron Belliard and
C Dave Nilsson each get 4 hits for Milwaukee‚ while Belliard
drives home 5 runs. The Brewer light up Steve Trachsel for 10
runs in 3.2 innings pitched‚ hanging his NL high 11th loss on
him. The Brew Crew collects 21 hits for the 2nd times in 3
nights. There are 8 homers in the game‚ including a pair by Cubs
Mickey Morandini. Not homering after 4 straight games in which
he went deep is Sammy Sosa‚ who singles twice.
2003 - The Marlins pound the Braves‚ 20-1‚ knocking 25 hits in
the process. Both runs and hits are new team marks for Florida.
2003 - After spending a disappointing season and a half in New
York, Roberto Alomar is traded by the Mets with cash to the
White Sox for prospect Andrew Salvo, right-hander Edwin Almonte
and southpaw Royce Ring. The 12-time Gold Glove second baseman's
funk continues in the American League when the former All-Star
infielder hits just .253 with Chicago.
2003 - Just a few hours after obtaining Roberto Alomar from the
Mets, the White Sox acquire outfielder Carl Everett (.274, 18,
51) from the Rangers. Texas will pick two or three players from
a Chicago minor league pool, and the team will also give money
to help pay part of the former outfielder's $9.15 million deal.
2006 - The Orioles down the Braves, 7-4. Baltimore’s Miguel
Tejada plays in his 1,000th consecutive game, the longest active
streak in the ML.
2006 - The Red Sox hook the Marlins, 11–5, as David Ortiz and
Manny Ramirez each hit two homers and drive in nine of the 11
runs. Mike Lowell has three doubles. The Sox make two errors,
however, ending their ML record streak of 17 straight games
without an error. They will have 108 games without errors for
the season, a ML mark, and field .9891, also a record.
2010 - On an interim basis, Kirk Gibson, the team’s bench coach,
is promoted to be the manager of the Diamondbacks replacing A.J.
Hinch, who piloted the team to a 89-123 record in a little more
than a full season in the dugout. In addition to letting go
their manager, the last-place team also fires general manager
Josh Byrnes.

July 2, 1977 - With first place at stake, the White Sox beat the
Twins 13 - 8 at Comiskey Park. Jim Spencer, the White Sox Gold
Glove winning first baseman, becomes the first Sox player to
ever drive in eight runs, twice in a season. He drove in eight
runs the first time on May 14, 1977 in an 18 - 2 slaughter of
Cleveland. On this day Spencer went 3 - 5 including a grand slam
and a three run home run.
