1900 - Boston Beaneater Marty Bergen allegedly kills his entire family with an axe and then kills himself.  This after posting an OPS+ of 65 for the 1899 season.  So...rough year for Bergen all around.

1932 - Shoeless Joe Jackson emerges from a corn field to appeal his suspension.  The appeal was denied and a dejected Jackson recedes back into the corn, dragging a screaming Charlie Comiskey with him.

1937 - Cy Young elected to Hall of Fame, despite not once winning a Cy Young himself.

1961 - Anthony Young, possessor of the record for consective losses, is born.  I suppose had he known what was in store for him, he would have elected to stay in the womb.  I refer, of course, to having to play on the 1994 Cubs.

2006 - Theo Epstein returns to the Red Sox after an 80 day absence.  During his press conference, Epstein remarked that leaving the Red Sox was "the stupidest thing I could have possibly done.  I'm a god in Boston.  A GOD.  And the tail I can pull.  Seriously.  What was I thinking?"
