December 20: Today's featured birthday is that of Bill Laskey, who turns 67.

• 1910 - In perhaps the most symmetrical major league game ever, the Pirates and Superbas each score 8 runs on 13 hits. Each team strikes out 5 times in 38 at-bats, draws three walks and has one hit batter. They both record 27 putouts, 13 assists, two errors and one passed ball. Both use two pitchers before darkness ends the tie.
• 1913 - Harry Hedgpeth of the Petersburg Goobers pitches shutouts in both ends of a doubleheader - a one-hitter in the opener and a no-hitter in the nightcap.
• 1950 - The Rochester Red Wings beat the Jersey City Giants 3-2 in 22 innings. Amazingly, both Tom Poholsky and Andy Tomasic work the whole game in a throwback to an older era.
• 1979 - Lou Brock lines a single off the hand of Dennis Lamp for the 3,000th hit of his major league career.
• 2008 - Rob Cordemans (pictured) and Pedro Luis Lazo both appear in the Olympics for a record fourth time.
