Yankees loose again to Tamp bay 4-2, now 16-8. 

1951

Emerging from a papier-mache cake between games of a Sportsman's Park's doubleheader, three-foot-seven-inch Eddie Gaedel appears as a surprise leadoff pinch-hitter, walking on four pitches in his only major league appearance. American League president Will Harridge voids the small person's contract the next day, with Browns' owner Bill Veeck threatening to request an official ruling on whether 5 feet 6 inches Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto is a short ballplayer or a tall dwarf.

1969	At Wrigley Field, Ken Holtzman no-hits the Braves, 3-0, with Ron Santo's first-inning homer off Phil Niekro providing all of the Cubs' runs. The no-hitter is the fifth of the season and the first since 1923 with no recorded strikeouts when Sad Sam Jones accomplished the feat with the Yankees.

1997

Wade Boggs makes his pitching debut, throwing 16 knuckleballs and one fastball in a 12-4 loss to the Angels at Anaheim Stadium. The Yankee third baseman, a future Hall of Famer, hurls a scoreless eighth inning, giving up no hits, walking one batter, and striking out Todd Greene swinging to end the frame.

2000

For only the third time in major league history and second this season by the Yankees, a team records three sacrifice flies in one inning. Bronx Bombers Jorge Posada, Scott Brosius, and Clay Bellinger join teammates Jose Vizcaino, Tino Martinez, and Bernie Williams (June 29, 2000) and the White sox trio of Juan Pizarro, Nellie Fox, and Al Smith, who accomplished the feat against the Indians (July 1, 1962).

2005

An apprenticeship, announced by the independent minor league team, the Brockton Rox, will be dedicated in the memory of the Emerson journalism student accidentally killed in 2004 by the Boston police during a near-riot around Fenway Park after the Red Sox beat the Yankees to win the pennant. "The Victoria Snelgrove Media Internship," awarded to an aspiring journalist hosting pregame and postgame radio shows, will hopefully focus on the senseless violence that sometimes follows sporting contests.
