1931 - This is the birthday of Willie Mays. His statistics include 3,283 hits, 660 home runs, and a lifetime .302 batting average. He is tied for the appearance record in all-star games with 24. Mays, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1979.

1968 - In the Midwest League, Cedar Rapids made seven . . . errors . . . in one inning . . . and 12 for the game. The Cardinals lost to the Wisconsin Rapids Twins, 21-4.

1981 - This must be the date for triples. Mike Gates, Tim Raines, and Tim Wallach hit triples back-to-back-to-back in the ninth for the Montreal Expos. The San Diego Padres won anyway, 13-5.

1998 - Kerry Wood, Chicago Cubs rookie pitcher, set a National League record and tied the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. The record was set by Roger Clemens of the Red Sox . . . twice, in 1986 and again in 1996. The Cubs beat the Houston Astros, 2-0. The old National League record of 19 was shared by Steve Carlton, Tom Seaver, and David Cone.

2003 - Dmitri Young of Detroit became the first player in 45 years to hit two home runs . . . and two triples . . . in one game. The Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 7-6. Willie Mays was the most recent to record the feat. Mays did it in May, 1958. Lou Gehrig and Lew Fonseca both had a banner day in the late 1920s.
