1900s[]

  • 1906 - Women appeared at the Polo Grounds ticket windows for the first time. Coincidentally, new ticket-selling machines were also introduced.

1910s[]

  • 1917 - Boston Braves catcher Hank Gowdy became the first major league player to enlist in the military service during World War I. Gowdy will also serve in World War II, making him the only major leaguer to serve in both wars.

1920s[]

1930s[]

1940s[]

  • 1943 - Rip Sewell of the Pittsburgh Pirates patented his "eephus" or “blooper ball” pitch, which travel as high as 25 feet above the ground before dropping into the strike zone. Sewell will use the pitch on his way to a 20-win campaign.

1950s[]

1960s[]

1970s[]

1980s[]

1990s[]

  • 1992 - Devon White of the Toronto Blue Jays became just the sixth player in major league history to hit both a leadoff home run and an extrainning homer in the same game. He also became the 56th switch-hitter in the majors to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game. Toronto defeated the Minnesota Twins, 5–3.

2000s[]

  • 2001 - At Yankee Stadium, Cleveland defeated New York, just in five and a half innings, when the game was called because of rain with Cleveland ahead, 7–2. In a rarity, Cleveland starter C.C. Sabathia earned a win despite pitching only four innings. Relief pitcher Ricardo Rincón got the save retiring the side in the fifth inning. The baseball rules state that in a five-inning game, a starter need not go the full five to earn a victory. Baseball historian David W. Smith noted that there are just five other cases since 1978 to match the Sabathia feat. [1]
