Events, births and deaths that occurred on May 14.
Events[edit]
- 1886 - In American Association action, St. Louis Browns player-manager Charles Comiskey prevents a double play by running full tilt into Red Stockings second baseman Bid McPhee, enabling the Browns to win, 2 - 1. The Cincinnati fans are infuriated, but the umpire certifies the play.
- 1906 - Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants wins his first game of the season, scattering nine hits and walking an uncharacteristic seven batters, in the 6 - 3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The game is tied at 1 - 1 after eight innings, but the Giants jump on Orval Overall for five runs on four hits and four walks in the 9th to put the game away.
- 1913 - At Sportsman's Park, Walter Johnson tops Jack Coombs' record of 53 consecutive scoreless innings when he stretches the mark to 56 innings. But after the Washington Senators back him with six runs, Johnson gives up a run in the 4th inning against the St. Louis Browns to end his streak. Ahead 9 - 1, Johnson is relieved by Joe Boehling and Washington wins, 10 - 5.
- 1914 - Jim Scott of the Chicago White Sox pitches a no-hitter for nine innings, then loses to the Senators, 1 - 0, in the 10th. The first hit is batted by Chick Gandil, who scores the winning run on Howie Shanks' single. It is the first of four nine-inning no-hitters that White Sox catcher Ray Schalk will catch in his 17 years with the team, although this game will be demoted to the status of "near no-hitter" when the rules governing no-hit games are adjusted in 1990.
- 1916 - At Robison Field, St. Louis Cardinals rookie Rogers Hornsby hits his first major league home run, off Brooklyn Robins pitcher Jeff Pfeffer.
- 1918 - Sunday baseball is made legal in Washington, DC; District commissioners rescind the ban in view of the large increase in the city's wartime population and the need for recreation and amusement facilities.
- 1920 - Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson records his 300th win with a 9 - 8 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
- 1927:
- At the Baker Bowl, with the Phillies leading the Cardinals, 12 - 3, a section of the right field stand collapses causing hundreds of fans to fall on the patrons below. Although there are many injuries, the only death is caused by the stampeding crowd.
- Guy Bush of the Chicago Cubs and Charlie Robertson of the Boston Braves battle for 18 innings before Robertson tires and the Cubs win, 7 - 2. Jimmy Cooney drives in the winning run and Sparky Adams contributes with four hits. Bush goes 18 innings and Robertson 17 1/3. Two National League pitchers, Carl Hubbell in 1933 and Vern Law in 1955, will match Bush's marathon effort.
- 1933 - With rain pelting down at Ebbets Field, Hack Wilson pounds a 9th-inning pinch-grand slam, the first in Brooklyn Dodgers history, to beat Ad Liska and the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 - 6. The homer is inside-the-park, just the third pinch inside-the-park grand slam homer in major league history, and the first since 1910.
- 1940 - Jimmie Foxx of the Boston Red Sox hits what is believed to be the longest home run in the history of Comiskey Park in the 7 - 6 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Lefty Grove is the winning pitcher and Johnny Rigney, who gives up the titanic blast that clears the left-field roof, is the loser.
- 1941 - The Dean brothers suffer setbacks in their careers. The Chicago Cubs release Dizzy while the New York Giants demote Paul to the minor leagues. Paul will return to the major leagues two years later with the St. Louis Browns, his last season, but Dizzy won't return until 1947, when he makes a one-game comeback also with the Browns.
- 1950 - Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star first baseman Johnny Hopp hits two home runs and four singles in six at-bats, leading the Pirates to a 16 - 9 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a doubleheader at Wrigley Field.
- 1965 - Boston Red Sox left fielder Carl Yastrzemski hits for the cycle against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. Yastrzemski's historic day includes two home runs and five runs batted in, but does not prevent Boston from losing the game, 12 - 8. Willie Horton hits two home runs for the Tigers.
- 1966 - Roberto Clemente's sixth and final career home run off Sandy Koufax is another no-doubter. It comes during Koufax's final season, the net result being one less shutout for Sandy and one more moon shot for Clemente. There was "only Bob Clemente's 9th-inning home run spoiling Sandy's bid for his 36th career shutout," writes Frank Finch of the Los Angeles Times. "One of the few people who wasn't fooled by Sandy's slants was Clemente, who at .325 is making a strong bid for his third consecutive league batting crown."
- 1967:
- Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees joins the 500 home run club when he connects against Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles. Mantle becomes the sixth major leaguer to reach 500. Mantle's home run helps New York to the 6 - 5 victory at Yankee Stadium.
- Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hits home run number 450, a 6th-inning solo shot in today's contest between the Braves and Pirates. Roberto Clemente responds almost immediately with his own "number 450". Les Biederman explains in the Pittsburgh Press: "Aaron whistled when he talked of the two shots Clemente drilled. One struck the left field wall and bounced back on the field for a double. The other traveled over Mack Jones' head in dead center (450 feet) and he got a triple." Both the two-out, 3rd-inning double and 6th-inning, leadoff triple are followed by RBI singles from Bill Mazeroski. In the 7th, Clemente singles home the insurance run in the Bucs' 5 - 2 win.
- 1972 - Willie Mays, playing his first game with the New York Mets, hits a game-winning home run against his former teammates, the San Francisco Giants. Just three days earlier, the Mets had acquired Mays from the Giants for pitcher Charlie Williams, and cash.
- 1977 - Jim Colborn pitches a no-hitter for the Kansas City Royals, beating the Texas Rangers, 6 - 0.
- 1978 - Dave Kingman of the Chicago Cubs hits three home runs with eight RBI, including a game-winning three-run blast in the 15th inning against Los Angeles. The game marks the second time in his career that Kingman has hit three homers and driven in eight runs in a game at Dodger Stadium.
- 1983:
- Ben Oglivie hits three home runs as the Milwaukee Brewers come from behind to beat the Boston Red Sox, 8 - 7, in ten innings. Oglivie's third homer ties the score at 6 - 6 in the bottom of the 9th.
- Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Luis Leal and Roy Lee Jackson combine to one-hit the Cleveland Indians, 8 - 1, allowing only an 8th-inning single to Chris Bando. Starter Leal tosses five hitless shutout innings and is replaced by Jackson after a 1:42 rain delay.
- 1985 - Derek Bryant becomes the first player to hit four home runs in a Mexican League game; he adds a triple for a record 19 total bases.
- 1986 - California Angels slugger Reggie Jackson hits his 537th career home run to move past Mickey Mantle on the all-time list. Jackson delivers the milestone blast against Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox.
- 1988 - Infielder Jose Oquendo becomes the first non-pitcher in 20 seasons to get a decision, taking the loss in the 19th inning when Ken Griffey's two-out, two-run double leads the Atlanta Braves over the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 - 5. Rocky Colavito had won a game in relief for the Yankees in 1968, in the last of two career appearances on the mound.
- 1989 - Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Benny Distefano becomes the first left-handed catcher in a major league game in nine years when he catches the 9th inning of a 5 - 2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Mike Squires (a first baseman) caught two games with the Chicago White Sox in 1980 and another first baseman, Dale Long, caught two games for the Chicago Cubs in 1958. The first left-handed throwing catcher in major league history was Fergy Malone, who caught 27 games in 1871, and Jack Clements holds the record for left-handed catchers with 1,073 games caught between 1884 and 1900.
- 1990 - Pitcher Ronaldo Romero of the Gastonia Rangers dies of an enlarged heart; he collapses in the dugout in the 2nd inning after starting the game for Gastonia.
- 1994 - In only his second major league appearance, Cleveland Indians pitcher Paul Shuey strikes out four batters in the 9th inning of the Indians' 9 - 3 victory over Detroit. Shuey becomes only the tenth pitcher in American League history, and the first rookie, to strike out four in an inning. The feat will become increasingly common in future years.
- 1996 - Dwight Gooden becomes the eighth pitcher in New York Yankees history to throw a no-hitter in the 2 - 0 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium.
- 1997 - At Three Rivers Stadium, Kevin Young's two-run pinch double gives the Pittsburgh Pirates the lead and Al Martin finishes a nine-run 8th inning with a grand slam as the surprising first-place Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies, 15 - 10. Colorado pitching gives up 13 walks and blows leads of 6 - 3, 7 - 5 and 9 - 6.
- 1998 - 23-year-old right-hander Dae-jin Lee of the Haitai Tigers strikes out ten consecutive batters to set the Korea Baseball Organization record.
- 2000 - Although Sammy Sosa collects five hits, Henry Rodriguez has seven RBI and Eric Young steals five bases, the Chicago Cubs still manage to lose to Montreal, 16 - 15. Young's five stolen bases are the most by a Cubs player since 1881 when George Gore stole seven.
- 2002 - At Latino-American Stadium, 77-year-old Jimmy Carter throws the ceremonial first pitch of the Cuban League All-Star Game. Warming up, the former U.S. President is coached by Fidel Castro.
- 2009 - 31-year-old rookie Bobby Scales hits a pair of doubles in Chicago's 11 - 3 win over the Padres. Scales has hit safely in all six games he has played in the majors so far, for a batting average of .444. Adrian Gonzalez homers in his fourth consecutive game for San Diego, but to no avail as his team is now on a 3-16 skid. Ryan Dempster picks up the win and former Cub Chad Gaudin, who walks seven batters in four innings, is the loser. Padre starters are winless since April 16th.
- 2010 - After Twins manager Ron Gardenhire orders an intentional walk to Mark Teixeira and brings in righty Matt Guerrier to face Alex Rodriguez in the 7th, the Yankee third baseman blasts his 19th career grand slam to pass Frank Robinson for seventh on the all-time career home run list and give New York an 8 - 4 win.
- 2011:
- Chad Billingsley of the Dodgers allows a single hit to the Diamondbacks over eight innings, but still loses, 1 - 0. Stephen Drew's 2nd-inning double is the only hit; he advances to third on a botched pick-off play and scores on a sacrifice fly. Josh Collmenter is the winner in his first major league start.
- It wouldn't be the Yankees without a bit of soap opera. Today, Jorge Posada asks to be taken out of the line-up 40 minutes before the game, after being listed as the ninth-place hitter against the Red Sox. Hitting .165, the DH claims he has a bad back, something which Yankees GM Brian Cashman denies, and after the game Posada explains that he feels "a little bit disrespected". With Andruw Jones taking Posada's place, the Yankees lose the game, 6 - 0, to the Sox, with a two-run double by Jacoby Ellsbury and a three-run homer by Adrian Gonzalez against CC Sabathia providing the key blows in support of Josh Beckett's six scoreless innings. By hitting ninth in the game, Jones becomes the second #9 hitter in major league history with 400+ homers to his credit - the prior one was Jimmie Foxx from his days as a pitcher at the tail end of his career.
- 2012:
- Major League Baseball fires arbitrator Shyam Das after 13 years on the job. The Commissioner's office was incensed at Das for overturning Ryan Braun's suspension for PED use on a technicality on February 23rd, and the last straw comes when the same ruling is used today to justify ending Eliezer Alfonzo's 100-game suspension early.
- The Rays keep on winning, in spite of resembling an infirmary more than a baseball team. With six players already on the disabled list, the Rays add OF Desmond Jennings, victim of a knee problem, prior to today's game against the Blue Jays. In the 1st inning, starter Jeff Niemann takes a ground ball off the bat of Adam Lind in the lower leg; he manages to throw Lind out and finish the inning, but is removed from the game; x-rays then reveal a fracture that will have him join the hobbled crowd for a number of weeks. Cesar Ramos succeeds Niemann on the mound and earns his first career victory as the Rays prevail, 7 - 1.
- 2013:
- Carlos Gonzalez has five hits, including a pair of homers, in leading the Rockies to a 9 - 4 win over the Cubs. Troy Tulowitzki pitches in with two doubles among his three hits and Eric Young homers as part of a 17-hit attack. Jeff Francis is the winner over Carlos Villanueva.
- Tampa Bay's Matt Moore gives up three 1st-inning runs, but nothing else over the next five innings, to become the first American League pitcher to seven wins, earning a 5 - 3 victory over the Red Sox. He is the first pitcher in Rays history to start a season 7-0.
- 2014 - Masahiro Tanaka pitches his first major league shutout as the Yankees defeat the Mets, 4 - 0. The Japanese off-season signee is now 6-0 with a 2.17 ERA after eight starts in the majors. The Yankees' win follows six straight losses to the Mets, dating back to last season.
- 2016 - In his final season, David Ortiz is still a master of the clutch hit. Today, he hits a two-out 9th-inning triple off Luke Gregerson to drive in Xander Bogaerts and tie the game for the Red Sox against the Astros, then hits a two-out double in the 11th off Michael Feliz that again drives in Bogaerts and gives the Sox a 6 - 5 win. The double is the 600th of his career, making him only the third player after Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds to hit 500 homers and 600 doubles; he had hit homer #513 in the 3rd inning.
- 2017 - The Yankees officially retire uniform number 2 in honor of Derek Jeter and unveil a plaque in his name in Monument Park at New Yankee Stadium between games of a doubleheader against the Astros. They win the opener, 11 - 6, thanks to a bases-loaded triple by Chase Headley and homers by Starlin Castro, Aaron Judge and Brett Gardner. In the nitecap, Masahiro Tanaka gives up three 1st-inning homers, including a grand slam by Alex Bregman as New York goes down, 10 - 7. George Springer homers twice for Houston which leads 9 - 0 before the Yankees score some late runs to make the game appear closer than it is. Before the games, the Yanks place closer Aroldis Chapman on the disabled list with inflammation in his left shoulder.
- 2019 - Chris Sale strikes out 17 batters in seven innings for the Red Sox against the Rockies, but a high pitch count costs him a chance to try to match or beat the record of 20 Ks in nine innings. He has to settle for a no-decision as Brandon Workman gives up a two-run homer to Charlie Blackmon in the 8th. The Sox's pitchers end up with 24 strikeouts in 11 innings, but Colorado still wins, 5 - 4.
- 2022 - Three pitchers for the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League combine for 24 strikeouts in a 1 - 0 win over the Tampa Tarpons. Nick Frasso records eight over three innings; he is followed by Dahian Santos, who gets ten more in four innings of work and picks up the win, and by Braden Scott, who closes out the win by recording Ks for all six outs of his two-inning stint. The three pitchers only give up two hits, both singles, while walking five. The 24 strikeouts in nine innings are not a record for a minor league game - Ron Necciai famously recorded 27 all by himself on May 13, 1952 - but the total is the highest by any team since at least 2005.
