Events, births and deaths that occurred on June 19.
Events[edit]
- 1846 - At the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the New York Ball Club defeats the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club, 23 - 1 (some sources say 21 - 1). Alexander Cartwright serves as the umpire, which is curious, as Cartwright is one of the Knickerbockers' best players.
- 1871 - After six innings of play at Troy, NY‚ the ball becomes ripped. The umpire decides that it is unfit and calls for another. The Kekiongas‚ winning at the time, 6 - 3‚ refuse to allow another ball to be used and refuse to continue to the game because of the reputation of the Haymakers using illegal balls in the past. The umpire (Isaac Leroy or Ed Tighe, depending on the source), after five full minutes of ordering Fort Wayne back on the field, calls the game a 9 – 0 forfeit in favor of the Haymakers.
- 1877 - Unable to pay the required league fees, the owners of the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in last place in the National League, throw in the towel, disbanding the club. A new ownership group will be constituted by June 23rd, and will reprise and complete the team's season, although the five other clubs will decide afterwards not to recognize either team's games as official. For their part, historians will ignore that decision and make Cincinnati's stats part of the official record.
- 1893 - Piggy Ward reaches base for the 17th consecutive plate appearance, an all-time major league record. Ward was traded in the middle of the streak.
- 1900 - In a great pitching duel, Clark Griffith of the Chicago Orphans and Rube Waddell of the Pittsburgh Pirates match shutouts during 13 innings, before Griffith's double in the bottom of the 14th drives in the only run. Waddell strikes out 12.
- 1903 - Lou Gehrig is born in New York City. Gehrig will make his major league debut with the New York Yankees in 1923. He will become the Yankees' everyday first baseman, replacing Wally Pipp and set a record for the longest consecutive games played streak while combining with Babe Ruth to form one of the greatest run-producing tandems of all time.
- 1913 - Wilbur Good hits the first pinch-hit home run in Chicago Cubs history, off Grover Alexander in the 8th inning, in a 2 - 1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
- 1924 - With the Giants playing the Braves in Boston, the home team mixes up its batting order at the start of the game. After the leadoff batter grounds out, Ray Powell comes to the plate one spot early and also grounds out. The Giants point that out to Umpire Hank O'Day and he declares the proper batter, Les Mann, out and the inning over (in fact, Mann was properly out, but Powell should have been called to bat again, as his out was erased). The Giants beat the Braves, 4 - 1.
- 1927:
- Jack Scott of the Philadelphia Phillies performs an ironman feat by pitching two complete games in a doubleheader, beating the Cincinnati Reds, 3 - 1, before losing, 3 - 0. Scott is the last pitcher in major league history to complete two games on the same day.
- Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates ends his 23-game hitting streak, a day after his extra-base hit streak was stopped at 14 games to set a National League record. Waner, just in his second season, will lead the NL with a .380 batting average, 237 hits, and 131 RBI. His brother Lloyd will gather 223 hits for a .355 BA in his rookie year. The Waners pace the 1927 Pirates to a team BA of .305.
- 1938 - Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer extends his string of hitless innings to 21 2/3 against the Boston Bees. Vander Meer, coming off two straight no-hitters, sees the streak come to an end when he gives up a single to Debs Garms in the 4th inning.
- 1941 - Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees hits in his 32nd consecutive game, en route to his 56-game hitting streak, going 3 for 3, including a home run, against the Chicago White Sox.
- 1942:
- Paul Waner reaches the exclusive 3000 hit club with a single off Rip Sewell. Waner, playing for the Boston Braves, collects the milestone hit against his former team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who win the game, 7 - 6, in 11 innings.
- For the first and only time in a career that will span 1,787 contests, Joe DiMaggio strikes out three times in a game. Indians hurler Mel Harder does the deed in the Tribe's 5 - 4 victory over the Yankees at Cleveland Stadium.
- 1952 - Carl Erskine of the Brooklyn Dodgers pitches a 5 - 0 no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs at Ebbets Field.
- 1954 - The Washington Senators sign a 17-year-old Idaho kid named Harmon Killebrew.
- 1955:
- Ted Williams, held hitless for three straight games, blasts a pair of towering home runs as the Red Sox overpower Cleveland, 11 - 8. The Associated Press reports: "Williams leaned into a fastball by rookie fireballer Herb Score for a 450-foot drive into the dead centerfield bleachers in the 5th inning to end a hitless string at ten official times at bat. In the 8th inning, he connected again for a 430-foot drive into the right field stands off the veteran Bob Feller."
- Dale Long goes 4 for 4 with two homers and three RBI as Pittsburgh defeats Cincinnati, 5 - 2. Long's teammate, rookie Roberto Clemente, starts off the 1st and 3rd innings with singles and hits a two-run, 9th-inning home run off former Montreal teammate Joe Black.
- 1961 - New York Yankees outfielder Roger Maris hits a 9th-inning home run off Kansas City's Jim Archer, his 25th of the year, putting him seven games ahead of Babe Ruth's pace in 1927. After the game, A's owner Charlie Finley makes his first managerial change, replacing the recently-hired Joe Gordon by Hank Bauer.
- 1962 - Bob Aspromonte celebrates his 24th birthday with two hits and two runs scored as the Colts subdue the Giants, 6 - 4. Hal Smith homers and Dick Farrell escapes a bases-loaded jam in the 9th to save it for Dave Giusti.
- 1963 - Gates Brown of the Detroit Tigers becomes the eleventh player in American League history to hit a home run in his first at-bat in a 9 - 2 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
- 1971 - At Shea Stadium, the Mets defeat the Phillies, 6 - 5, in 15 innings. Ken Singleton homers in the 14th inning to re-tie the game and Donn Clendenon homers in the 15th to win it.
- 1972:
- The United States Supreme Court rules against former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood, who had sued Major League Baseball over the reserve clause after being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. The ruling upholds baseball's antitrust exemption, which was originally granted in 1922.
- With a double, home run and three RBI, Roberto Clemente passes Hall of Fame third baseman Pie Traynor on the Pittsburgh Pirates' all-time RBI list, bringing his career total to 1,275, still 200 shy of all-time leader Honus Wagner. Clemente's 5th-inning RBI double off Don Sutton ties Traynor's mark and puts Pittsburgh up by two, en route to a 13 - 3 rout of the Dodgers. Mike Strahler then gives up an 8th-inning, two-run laser into Three Rivers Stadium's left field seats. Willie Stargell, will ultimately eclipse both Clemente's final total of 1,305 RBI and Wagner's long-standing mark of 1,475.
- 1973:
- Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds and Willie Davis of the Los Angeles Dodgers both collect their 2,000th hits. It is a single for Rose against the San Francisco Giants and a home run for Davis against the Atlanta Braves.
- Tampico's Silvano Quezada drops a 4 - 1 decision to the Mexico City Tigers, ending a Mexican League record run of 16 straight victories, dating back to April 8th.
- 1974 - Steve Busby of the Kansas City Royals pitches his second no-hitter in 14 months, a 2 - 0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Busby strikes out three batters and walks George Scott to lead off the 2nd inning for the Brewers' only baserunner.
- 1977:
- The Cleveland Indians fire Frank Robinson, the first black manager in major league history, and replace him with coach Jeff Torborg. In 2002, the roles will be reversed when Robinson succeeds Torborg as manager of the Montreal Expos.
- Carl Yastrzemski (2), Bernie Carbo (2), and George Scott (1) of the Boston Red Sox combine for five home runs in an 11 - 1 triumph over the New York Yankees at Fenway Park. The five home runs give the Red Sox a major league record 16 in three games. Boston hit six homers on June 17th and five on June 18th, also against the Yankees. The Yankees hit no homers in the three-game series.
- 1979 - At Yankee Stadium, 36,211 fans show up to witness the return of Billy Martin as Yankees manager in a 5 - 4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Martin was named to replace Bob Lemon the previous day, and begins his second stint as Yankee skipper a season earlier than previously announced.
- 1988 - Bert Blyleven wins his 250th career game as Minnesota beats Seattle, 3 - 1. Jeff Reardon posts his 20th save, giving him seven straight 20-save seasons.
- 1989 - Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets records his 100th victory, 5 - 3, over Montreal. His 100-37 career record is second only to Whitey Ford's 100-36 start.
- 1990 - Gary Carter plays in his 1,862nd career game as a catcher to break the National League mark set by Al Lopez.
- 1994 - The Detroit Tigers hit at least one home run in their 25th consecutive game when Mickey Tettleton goes deep against the Toronto Blue Jays.
- 2001 - Ellis Burks of the Cleveland Indians hits three home runs in a 10 - 9 loss to Minnesota.
- 2007 - Jong-beom Lee, considered by some to be the best all-around position player in the history of the Korea Baseball Organization, is sent to the minor leagues as the 37-year-old is hitting under the Mendoza Line. His manager reports that he had asked Lee to retire before he would go into decline but Lee had refused.
- 2009:
- Marcus Thames hits a pair of two-run home runs as Detroit beats Milwaukee, 10 - 4, in a rain-shortened game that ends with one out in the bottom of the 7th, after being delayed for more than two hours in the 4th. Zach Miner picks up the win in relief in the wild game in which video replay reviews deprive Dusty Ryan of an apparent home run in the 1st but grant one to Miguel Cabrera two innings later.
- In the first contest of a doubleheader, Levi Maxwell of the Winston-Salem Dash no-hits the Wilmington Blue Rocks in a seven-inning game. It is the first Carolina League no-hitter in three years and the first for a Winston-Salem team since 2001.
- 2010:
- The Twins have to fight all game to end up 13 - 10 winners over the Phillies. Trailing by five runs after eight innings, they score five runs in the 9th, one in the 10th and three more in the 11th to win the game. Delmon Young delivers the game-winning hit with an infield single in the 11th; other highlights include a pinch homer by Jim Thome in the 9th and another by Drew Butera in the 10th, the first long ball of the rookie's career. Joe Mauer hits a homer of his own in the 9th, a two-run shot against Phillies closer Brad Lidge that ties the game at 9-all.
- To celebrate the ongoing 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, the Marlins give away 15,000 vuvuzelas, the loud plastic trumpets whose drone has dominated soccer broadcasts for the past week, for their game against the Rays. The Rays emerge with an ear-shattering, 11-inning, 9 - 8 victory in which James Shields has to make the first relief appearance of his career for Tampa Bay. The Rays draw a team-record 12 walks in a game that features 16 different pitchers.
- Kevin Millwood, signed in the off-season to be the Orioles' ace, finally records his first win of the year for the last-place team, after eight straight defeats. It's a hard slog, as the O's prevail, 5 - 4, over San Diego and Millwood needs the help of three relievers, including Alfredo Simon, who picks up the save in his return from the disabled list.
- 2011:
- The Marlins lose again, this time 2 - 1 to the Rays, when James Shields pitches a complete game. Before what turns out to be the team's 18th loss in its last 19 games, Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez announces his resignation. Bench coach Brandon Hyde is at the helm for today's loss.
- The Cardinals beat the Royals, 4 - 3, on Skip Schumaker's walk-off home run in the 9th inning, but are more concerned about a wrist injury sustained by All-Star 1B Albert Pujols in the 6th inning as he attempts to make a tag on Wilson Betemit. Pujols' glove hand slams into Betemit and he falls to the ground in pain with what is first diagnosed as a sprained wrist. Tests conducted the next day will reveal a fracture, but Pujols will only be out until July 6th.
- 2012:
- Joel Peralta of the Rays enters a game against the Nationals in relief of David Price in the 8th inning, but is ejected before throwing a pitch for having pine tar on his glove. It is Nats manager Davey Johnson, Peralta's former skipper, who advises umpire Tim Tschida to check the pitcher's glove, giving rise to suspicion that the hurler may have been a habitual offender in this respect. The ejection comes with an automatic ten-game suspension. The Rays still manage to win the game, 5 - 4.
- Asdrubal Cabrera hits a walk-off two-run homer off fireballer Aroldis Chapman in the 10th inning to give Cleveland a come-from-behind 3 - 2 win over the Reds. Nick Hagadone had put the Reds ahead in the top of the inning with a pair of wild pitches that allowed Chris Heisey to score. The win puts the Indians back in first place in the AL Central.
- Phillies rookie 2B Freddy Galvis is suspended for 50 games for testing positive for a synthetic steroid.
- 2013 - The Rangers finally get a win from a starting pitcher this month, as Justin Grimm is the winner in today's 9 - 4 defeat of the A's. The win comes by the skin of its teeth though, as Grimm is trailing 3 - 2 when he leaves after five innings, having just given up a three-run homer to Chris Young. However, his teammates rally for a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning, and the bullpen preserves the lead until the end of the game. The Rangers had gone 17 straight games since Derek Holland had last won as a starter on May 31st, setting an unenviable team record.
- 2014 - The Blue Jays may be in first place in the AL East, but the New York Yankees remain a nemesis. Today, the Jays lose their 16th straight game at New Yankee Stadium, 6 - 4, a streak dating back to 2012. David Phelps is the winner as the Yanks complete a three-game sweep that brings them to within a game and a half of Toronto.
- 2015:
- Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees joins the 3,000 hit club with a 1st-inning homer off Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers. He becomes the 29th member of the club, and the third to do so with a long ball, after Wade Boggs and his former teammate Derek Jeter, who had been the last player to collect the milestone hit in 2011.
- A moment of silence is held in all Italian ballparks to mark the death of Giulio Glorioso, who led the Italian Baseball League ten times in both wins and strikeouts, as well as twice in batting average. Glorioso won four pitching Triple Crowns and was an inaugural member of the Italian Baseball Hall of Fame.
- 2016 - In one of the rare highlights for the Braves this season, Julio Teheran pitches a one-hitter for a 6 - 0 win as the Braves complete a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field. Michael Conforto's 3rd-inning single is the only baserunner for New York, while the resurgent Freddie Freeman matches a career-high with four hits for Atlanta.
- 2017 - Rookie 1B Cody Bellinger hits a pair of homers in the Dodgers' 10 - 6 win over the Mets. In doing so, he overtakes both Wally Berger (in 1930) and Gary Sanchez (in 2016), who had hit 20 homers in their first 51 major league games, as he now has 21 long balls. That total leads the National League even though Bellinger spent the first three weeks of the season in the minors.
- 2019 - One day after fouling a bunted ball in his face during batting practice and breaking his nose, Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Nationals against the Phillies sporting a prominent black eye. He still stymies the opposition with seven scoreless innings in a 2 - 0 win. "Trust me, this thing looks a lot worse than it actually feels," he explains to journalists.
- 2022 - Rookie OF Jack Suwinski has a career game as he homers three times, including a game-ending shot off Tyler Rogers leading off the bottom of the 9th, to lead the Pirates to a 4 - 3 win over San Francisco.
- 2023:
- Luis Arraez has his third five-hit game this month, lifting the Marlins to an 11 - 0 win over the Blue Jays. His performance raises his batting average to an even .400 after 67 games. The Marlins are 11 games above .500 for the first time since 2009.
- Playing his first game in ten months, Joey Votto homers and hits a two-run single to lead the Reds to their ninth straight win, 5 - 4 over the Rockies. It vaults them in first place in the NL Central, in front of Milwaukee.
