1800s[]

  • 1894 - King Kelly, probably the most popular baseball player of the 19th century, dies of pneumonia in Boston.

1900s-1950[]

  • 1920 - At a meeting to depose Ban Johnson as the American League president, a new 12-team National League, made up of the dissenting 11 teams plus one of the five teams loyal to Johnson, is agreed to. John Heydler will be its president and federal judge Kenesaw Landis the proposed chairman of the new commission. This revolutionary plan for a new senior circuit will be discarded a few days later, after four of the five American League clubs still backing Johnson agree to a joint meeting November 12th in Chicago.

1960s-1970s[]

1980s-1990s[]

  • 1999:
    • Cincinnati Reds reliever Scott Williamson is named Rookie of the Year in the National League. Williamson was not on the Reds roster at the beginning of the year, but ended with a 12–7 record, 19 saves, a 2.41 ERA, and 107 strikeouts in 93.1 innings pitched.
    • The Dodgers trade disgruntled outfielder Raúl Mondesí and pitcher Pedro Borbón, Jr. to Toronto for OF Shawn Green and IF Jorge Núñez. Green said he wanted to play in a metropolitan city with a large Jewish population, but apparently the California native didn't include Toronto in that.
    • The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for Shoeless Joe Jackson to be honored. The resolution stops short of calling for his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. "It is worthy for this body to take a few minutes to stand up for fairness and right an old wrong," said Rep. Jim DeMint, the author of the resolution who represents Jackson's hometown of Greenville, S.C. Jackson was eligible for the Hall of Fame until 1991 but was never voted in either by the Baseball Writers Association of America or the veterans committee. In 1991, the Hall's board adopted a resolution prohibiting players on the permanently banned list. The resolution now goes to the US Senate.
    • Toronto Blue Jays traded star outfielder Shawn Green to the Los Angeles Dodgers for left-handed relief pitcher Pedro Borbón, Jr. and right-fielder Raúl Mondesí. This was due to the fact that the Blue Jays had only enough money to sign one of Green or Delgado, and the Jays decided to keep Delgado.

2000s[]
