Last time around, we unpacked Three Bells, the day after corkgate, and other bullets. The penalty for corkgate was passed down on this day in baseball history, the league first fog out happened, and the rest is lost to the dim mists of prehistory.
Not so much to unpack but some neat items, and also former Cub two-way player Brooks Kieschnick’s natal anniversary is celebrated today.
Today in baseball history:
- 1892 - At Washington, D.C.’s Boundary Field, Benjamin Harrison becomes the first U.S. president to attend a major league baseball game.
