1942 - Rogers Hornsby is elected to the HOF with only 78% of the vote.  And so the next time you complain that Rickey Henderson was only elected to the Hall with 99.7% of the vote (presumably this will be a future complaint), just remember that the greatest second baseman in history was not chosen by 22% of voters.

1976 - Baseball celebrates America's 299 1/2th birthday with a large cake and a special Washington #1 jersey.  The giant "We're #1" foam finger was reserved for America's 300th birthday.

1993 - Maddux repeats to himself, for the 17th time, "wait, seriously?  Himes isn't going to re-sign me?  You told him I'm Greg Maddux, right?".

2002 - Matt Morris is signed by the Cardinals to a 3 year, 27 million dollar contract.  I do not like Matt Morris.

2004 - Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg are elected to the HOF.  WOO HOO, GO RYNO!
