Sources

1800s[]

  • 1883 - New York Gothams owner John B. Day proposes a resolution to prohibit a team from signing a player who has broken the reserve clause of his contract. This resolution, eventually adopted by both the American Association and National League, effectively changes the reserve clause from a device to protect owners from their own greediness to a vindictive weapon to be used against uncooperative players.
  • 1890 - At the American Association annual meeting in Louisville, the Philadelphia Athletics are expelled for violating the league’s constitution. A new team in Philadelphia is admitted, plus entries from Boston, Washington and Chicago, replacing Syracuse, Toledo and Rochester.

1900-1950s[]

  • 1908 - In the first game between a Japanese and an American professional team, the Reach All-Americans defeat Waseda University in Tokyo, 5–0.
  • 1957 - After 22 seasons, Larry Goetz is unwillingly 'retired' as a National League umpire by Warren Giles. The discharged arbitrator had been critical of Senior Circuit because of the league's refusal to include umpires in the players' pension fund.

1960s-1970s[]

  • 1960 - The American League proposes that both leagues expand to nine teams in 1961 and begin interleague play. There will be expansion in the American League in 1961, but interleague play does not arrive until 1997.

1980s-1990s[]

2000s[]

  • 2002 - Houston Astros RF Richard Hidalgo is shot in the left forearm during a carjacking in Venezuela. He is released from the hospital and is expected to go to Houston for more tests.
  • 2003 - The oldest player in the majors next season could still be Jesse Orosco. The 46-year old relief pitcher agrees to a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks and will earn an $800,000 salary when he is added to the big league roster.
  • 2004 - The recently relocated Washington National League franchise (ex-Montreal Expos) announces its new name, logo and colors. Using official original name of the district’s team which used the nickname the Senators from 1901-56, the club clad in red, white, blue and gold will be known as the Nationals.
