July 2, 1980 - White Sox radio announcer Jimmy Piersall attacked
Daily Herald sportswriter Rob Gallas after Gallas wrote a story
speculating why Piersall was fired as a part time Sox coach.
Spectators had to physically jump in and pull Piersall away. At
the time Piersall was choking Gallas. Yes, this is the same Rob
Gallas who later would become the White Sox Marketing Director,
responsible for ‘Turn Back The Clock Day’, ‘Beatles Night’,
‘Elvis Night’ and ‘Dog Day Afternoon’. Later on that same day,
the White Sox Ross Baumgarten would one hit the Angels, winning
1 - 0. Rod Carew got California’s only hit, on a single leading
off the 7th inning.

On July 2 in Baseball History...
1903 - Pitcher Jack Doscher, making his debut with the Chicago
Cubs, is the first son of a former major-league player to also
play in the major leagues. His father, Herm, was a third base
with Troy, Chicago, and Cleveland before the turn of the
century.
1903 - Ed Delahanty, who once hit four homers in one game, goes
over a Niagara Falls' railroad bridge and drowns. The
circumstances concerning the Senators' outfielder death are
never discovered.
1930 - Carl Reynolds becomes the only second player in big
league history to homer in three consecutive innings when he
goes deep in first three frames of the 15-4 White Sox victory
over the hometown Yankees. The Chicago outfielder's power surge
includes two inside-the-park round trippers.
1933 - The Giants sweep a doubleheader from the Cardinals with
identical 1-0 scores. In the 18-inning opener, Carl Hubbell
throws a six-hitter with Roy Parmelee out pitching Dizzy Dean in
the night cap.
1934 - At Wrigley Field, veteran ump Bill Klem's delayed call of
the infield fly rule leads the Cardinals to protest their game
with the Cubs. The game is suspended with two out in the bottom
of the seventh inning with the Cubs ahead 5-1, and will be
completed on the last day of the month with St. Louis losing
with the final score of 7-4.
1941 - Joe DiMaggio extends his consecutive-game hitting streak
to 45 by hitting a home run off Boston's Dick Newsome,
surpassing Willie Keeler's all-time record.
1950 - Bob Feller, wins his 200th major-league game, a 5-3
Cleveland win over Detroit in the second game of a doubleheader
split.
1951 - Bill Veeck gets the necessary 75 percent of outstanding
stock on the last day of his option to buy the St. Louis Browns
from Bill and Charlie DeWitt.
1963 - At 12:31 A.M. in San Francisco, Willie Mays homers off
Warren Spahn in the bottom of the 16th inning to give Juan
Marichal a 1-0 victory in the National League's longest game
ended by a home run.
1970 - Detroit's Joe Niekro no-hits the Yankees until Horace
Clarke singles in the ninth inning as the Tigers win 5-0. This
is the third time in the month that Clarke has broken up a
no-hitter, having spoiled bids by Kansas City's Jim Rooker (June
4) and Boston's Sonny Siebert (June 19).
1979 - Don Kessinger (46–60) is fired mid-season as the
player-manager of the White Sox, and will be replaced by rookie
skipper Tony La Russa, who had been managing the club's Triple-A
Iowa Oaks in the American Association. During his eight-year
tenure with Chicago, La Russa will compile a 522-510 record with
his team winning the AL West title in 1983.
1985 - Astros' hurler Joe Niekro notches his 200th career
victory. The Niekro brothers (Joe & Phil) will join the Perrys
(Jim & Gaylord) as the only brothers to win at least 200 games
per pitcher.
1986 - After 14 wins, Roger Clemens suffer his first loss as
Toronto scores three times in the eighth inning to down Boston
4-2. Clemens was one game short of the American League record
for consecutive wins at the start of a season.
1987 - Jim Eisenreich, making a comeback after being forced out
of the major leagues by a nervous disorder in 1984, hits his
first Major League home run since 1982 to lead the Royals to a
10-3 win over his former club, the Twins.
1993 - At Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, the latest game in
major league history ends at 4:40 am as relief pitcher Mitch
Williams, in his first at-bat of the season, singles home the
winning run in the tenth inning giving the Phillies a 6-5
victory over the Padres. The game, which started at 1:26 am due
to the three rain delays in Game 1 of the twin bill, eclipses
the 3:35 mark established in Atlanta on July 4, 1985 in game
which ended with fireworks after the Mets beat the Braves in 19
innings, 16-13.
1993 - In a pre-game ceremony at the ballpark, Royals Stadium is
officially renamed to honor of Ewing M. Kauffman, the team's
owner since the club's inception in 1968. The 77-year old
philanthropist, who humbly discouraged the name change, will die
within a month.
1995 - Dodger right hander Hideo Nomo, who is leading the
National League in strikeouts, becomes the first player from
Japan to be selected for the major league All-Star game.
1995 - On the day the Yankees celebrate Babe Ruth's hundredth
birthday, a frail Mickey Mantle's bids the fans a farewell in
recorded message on the Bronx ballpark's Jumbotron. The
diminished former superstar, who will succumb to liver cancer in
22 days, tells the crowd, "I feel like Phil Rizzuto in Babe
Ruth's uniform".
1999 - National League President Len Coleman suspends Tom
Hallion for three games without pay for bumping Colorado catcher
Jeff Reed and pitching coach Milt May during an argument. It the
first time an umpire is suspended for an on-field dispute.
2000
Expos, Marlins' outfielder Mark Smith becomes a hero for the
second time this day when he pulls a man from a smoke-filled car
minutes before the car explodes.
2000 - At Shea Stadium, Mets' fan Gregory Sweeney is arrested
and charged with reckless endangerment after he throws a ball
back onto the field which Braves reliever John Rocker had tossed
into the stands. In a few day later, the 26-year old Brooklyn
man will be exonerated as Queens District Attorney Richard Brown
concludes Mr. Sweeney had no criminal intent and was doing
nothing more than following a baseball tradition of returning an
unsolicited and unwanted souvenir.
2002 - Fifty-three major league players hit a record 62 home
runs breaking the mark of 57 established on April 7, 2000. The
barrage includes a record-tying dozen hit at Chicago's Comiskey
Park by the White Sox and the Tigers, the same two teams which
set the major league record for homers in a game with 12 at
Tiger Stadium in 1995.
2002 - At Coors Field every Giants starter gets at least one hit
with the #8 hitter Tsuyoshi Shinjo going 5-for-6 with a pair of
home runs including a first inning grand slam. The former
Japanese big leaguer will finish the season hitting just two
more homers and driving in nine more runs.
2004 - Suffering through their worst season since their
inception in 1998, the Diamondbacks replace manager Bob Brenly
with third-base coach Al Pedrique. The former skipper of the
Arizona's Triple-A Tucson Sidewinders, becomes the second
Venezuelan to manage in the big leagues.
2005 - In one of the most severe penalties ever imposed by the
commissioner’s office for on-field behavior, Kenny Rogers is
suspended for 20 games and fined $50,000 for actions which sends
a cameraman to the hospital and launches a police investigation.

Spencer was my favorite player when I was little. I remember my

Dad told him, he got up and shook my hand, said he'd heard that

laughing.

July 2, 1963 - In one of baseball's most memorable pitching
duels, San Francisco Giants' Juan Marichal hurls 16 scoreless
innings and his counterpart the Milwaukee Braves' Warren Spahn
pitches 15 1/3 scoreless innings before Willie Mays ends the
marathon with a walk-off homer off Spahnie in the bottom of the
16th giving San Francisco the win.
Marichal's manager, Alvin Dark, visited the mound in the 9th,
10th, 11th, 13th, and 14th innings, and was talked out of
removing Marichal each time. During the 14th-inning visit,
Marichal told Dark, "Do you see that man pitching for the other
side? Do you know that man is 42 years old? I'm only 25. If that
man is on the mound, nobody is going to take me out of here."
Marichal ended up throwing 227 pitches in the complete game 1-0
win, while Spahn threw 201 in the loss, allowing nine hits and
one walk. Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell, who was in attendance that
night, said of Spahn, "He ought to will his body to medical
science."

future use in the history of the franchise.
1987 - Paul Splittorff, the team's all-time leader in victories,

D'Angelo Jimenez in the sixth inning, gives the Friars a 6-5
victory over Colorado at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium.
2002 - In an 11-8 loss to the Yankees, Jim Thome homers in his
seventh consecutive game. The solo shot, off southpaw David
Wells, leaves the Indians' slugger one shy of the major league
record shared by Dale Long (1956, Pirates), Don Mattingly
(Yankees, 1987) and Ken Griffey, Jr. (1993, Mariners).
2005 - During the fireworks display at Pawtucket’s McCoy
Stadium, two shells misfire landing in the stands. Four or five
employees of the Telstar Display Fireworks suffer minor burns,
and some fans are injured when they stumble trying to escape
from the mishap.
2006 - Barry Bonds (41), Steve Finley (41), and birthday boy
Moises Alou (40) become the first trio of 40-year-olds to start
a game in the same outfield. The senior flycatchers combine to
go 4-for-11 along with two stolen bases to help the Giants
defeat Philadelphia, 5-3.
2009 - Albert Pujols' 8th inning home run with the bases loaded
proves to be the difference in the Cardinals' 7-4 victory over
the Reds. The grand slam, the tenth of his career, establishes a
new franchise record moving 'El Hombre' past Redbird Hall of
Famer Stan Musial.
2010 - With homers in his first two at-bats, Twins' DH Jim Thome
passes franchise legend Harmon Killebrew with 574 round-trippers
and moves into tenth place on the all-time home run list. The
team plays a previously recorded message from the much beloved
Hall of Famer in which he congratulates the designated hitter on
the career accomplishment.

time to beat the Braves 16-13 in 19 innings. Relief pitcher Rick
Camp, an .060 career hitter, homers in the 18th inning to tie
the game no pitcher has ever homered that late in a game. Keith
