Events, births and deaths that occurred on April 1.
Events[edit]
- 1914 - Rube Waddell dies from tuberculosis in San Antonio, TX, at the age of 37. One of the top lefthanded pitchers in major league history, Waddell led the American League in strikeouts for six years in a row, collected four consecutive 20-win seasons from 1902 to 1906, including the Triple Crown in 1905 with 27 wins, 287 strikeouts and a 1.48 ERA, leading the league in all pitching categories. Waddell, who dies in a sanitarium, had seen his condition weakened by his efforts to contain a winter flood in Kentucky. He will be selected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee in 1946.
- 1939 - Phil Niekro is born in Blaine, Belmont County, Ohio. "Knucksie" will make his major league debut in 1964 with the Milwaukee Braves. He will win 318 games over a 24-year career and will gain election to the Hall of Fame in 1997.
- 1942 - Major league owners decide not to allow furloughed players in the military to play for their clubs if based near a game site.
- 1949 - The St. Louis Browns, owners of Sportsman's Park, move to evict the St. Louis Cardinals in order to gain a rent increase.
- 1957 - Called by Les Biederman of The Sporting News "one of the most unusual games in modern spring training history," Kansas City and Pittsburgh battle through 18 innings to a scoreless tie "before probably one of the smallest crowds of the season anywhere, only 432 paid admissions." Starting at 1:30 p.m., the game is called by mutual agreement at 5:27 because of impending darkness and high winds. Each team uses three pitchers, with the Athletics managing eleven safeties and the Bucs held to seven. Of the latter total, Roberto Clemente accumulates three, including the contest's only extra-base hits, a leadoff double to begin the game and a one-out double in the top of the 18th. Clemente then saves the game in the bottom of the frame by gunning down Clete Boyer trying to go from first to third on Vic Power's single with none out.
- 1962 - The Detroit Tigers sign University of Detroit basketball star Dave DeBusschere. He will pitch effectively in 1962 and 1963 with the Chicago White Sox, but will gain much more notoriety as a key member of the New York Knicks' NBA championship teams of 1970 and 1973.
- 1963 - The New York Mets purchase veteran outfielder Duke Snider from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Snider, one of the most popular players in the New York City area, starred for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1957. The future Hall of Famer will hit 14 home runs for the Mets this year.
- 1969 - The Seattle Pilots trade little-known minor league outfielder Lou Piniella to the Kansas City Royals for two prospects. Piniella will hit .282 with 11 home runs and 68 RBI, good enough to win American League Rookie of the Year honors.
- 1970 - An ownership group headed by automobile dealer Bud Selig buys the Seattle Pilots for $10.8 million. Selig will immediately move the Pilots to Milwaukee, WI and rename the team the "Brewers." The Pilots lost $1 million during their lone season in Seattle, WA.
- 1972 - The Major League Players Association, led by Executive Director Marvin Miller, stages the first strike in major league history. The strike will last 13 days and lead to salary arbitration being added to the Collective Bargaining Agreement and to owners increasing their contribution to the pension fund. The 86 games that are eventually cancelled as a result of the labor action will not be replayed.
- 1982 - The New York Mets trade popular center fielder and teen idol Lee Mazzilli to the Texas Rangers for minor league pitchers Ron Darling and Walt Terrell. Darling will emerge as an important member of the Mets' starting rotation and a key contributor to their win in the 1986 World Series.
- 1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch, whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.
- 1987 - The Pittsburgh Pirates trade All-Star catcher Tony Peña to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for catcher Mike LaValliere, outfielder Andy Van Slyke, and pitcher Mike Dunne. Van Slyke will hit 21 home runs for the Pirates this year and emerge as a Gold Glove-caliber center fielder.
- 1988 - For the first time since 1956, the Special Veterans Committee does not elect anyone to the Hall of Fame. Phil Rizzuto, Leo Durocher, Joe Gordon, and Gil Hodges are among the candidates passed over.
- 1996 - Home plate umpire John McSherry collapses and dies from a heart attack on Opening Day at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, in the 1st inning of a game between the Reds and Expos, which is cancelled. The 51-year-old McSherry had umpired in the National League for 26 seasons. Reds owner Marge Schott hits a low point with her insensitive remarks, blaming the late umpire for spoiling the team's opening day celebrations.
- 2001 - The Blue Jays host the Rangers at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico for Opening Day. The Blue Jays are 8 - 1 winners in the first major league game to be played in Puerto Rico.
- 2008:
- The New York Yankees set a major league record by winning their 11th straight home opener. Oddly, the record had been held by the 1945-1954 Pittsburgh Pirates, a club which lost 100 or more games three times in that period. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays, 3 - 2. Chien-Ming Wang allows two runs in seven innings for the win over Roy Halladay.
- The Independent South Coast League suspends its operations after only one season of play.
- 2005 - Koichi Isobe hits the first home run in the history of the Rakuten Golden Eagles. He leads off the bottom of the 1st by sending an Atsushi Okamoto offering over the center-field wall.
- 2009:
- Alfredo Despaigne's consecutive homer streak, tying the Cuban record, is stopped at six games. Despaigne got hot right after returning from the 2009 World Baseball Classic, where he was the only Cuban starting outfielder left off the All-Tournament team.
- Jorge Padrón becomes the 22nd player in Cuban Serie Nacional history to get six hits in a game, going 6 for 6 as his Pinar del Río club edges the Las Tunas Magos, 12 - 10.
- 2010:
- It is Opening Day in the Italian Baseball League. Bologna starts the year by beating the Godo Knights, 4 - 0, behind the two-hit pitching of Jesus Matos and Victor Moreno. Jairo Ramos Gizzi goes 3 for 4 with two RBI to lead their offense. Godo's new import players are not sharp - Gary Burnham and Carlos Villalobos are a combined 0 for 7 while Robert Palencia takes the loss.
- The Phillies are thin on the mound going into the season, as they place starter Joe Blanton on the disabled list, where he joins teammates and bullpen mainstays Brad Lidge and J.C. Romero.
- The Rangers pick up 1B Ryan Garko on waivers from the Mariners while the Orioles pick up infielder Julio Lugo from the Cardinals
- 2011:
- The Blue Jays open their season with an offensive outburst in beating the Twins, 13 - 3, before a sell-out crowd at the Rogers Centre. Rookie C J.P. Arencibia is the star, homering twice and adding a two-run triple on a five-RBI night. Jose Bautista and Adam Lind also go deep as the Jays take a quick 10 - 0 lead against starter Carl Pavano and reliever Jeff Manship. Ricky Romero picks up the win in his first Opening Day start and John Farrell has his first win as a manager.
- Marlins P Josh Johnson takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning, and C John Buck, in his first game for the team, hits a grand slam in Florida's 6 - 2 Opening Day win over the New York Mets. Logan Morrison also homers for the Fish, while Willie Harris breaks the no-no bid with a double to lead off the 7th.
- Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez of the Mariners starts off his defense of the title with a complete game 6 - 2 win over the Athletics. He is the first pitcher in team history to throw a complete game on Opening Day. The evening does not start well for King Felix, who gives up a two-run homer to Josh Willingham in the 1st, but he then settles down, throwing six perfect innings in a row while the M's take the lead on Chone Figgins' solo shot against Craig Breslow in the 6th, matching his homer total from last season.
- Cardinals OF Matt Holliday undergoes an emergency appendectomy in St. Louis, MO. The surgery goes well, and the Cardinals wait to put Holliday's name on the disabled list, hoping he can come back before the mandatory 15 days after going 3 for 4 with a homer in the team's opener yesterday.
- Neil Walker hits the second Opening Day grand slam in Pittsburgh Pirates history, powering a shot out of Wrigley Field. It had been 49 years since Roberto Clemente had delivered a grand slam in an opener for the Bucs. Pittsburgh wins, 6 - 3, over the Cubs.
- 2012:
- Indians P Ubaldo Jimenez starts a bench-clearing brawl when he plucks former teammate Troy Tulowitzki in the elbow in the 1st inning of a Cactus League game. The Rockies are convinced the gesture is intentional, as there is some bad blood between the two, dating back to Jimenez criticizing his former team for not offering him a long-term contract last year, and Tulowitzki replying through the media that "there's a certain point in this game where you go play and you shut your mouth." Tulowitzki is taken out of the game, but x-rays on his elbow are negative. For his part, Jimenez will receive a five-game suspension.
- The Cardinals' Lance Berkman plays an April Fools prank on teammate Adam Wainwright. Before the 3rd inning of a Grapefruit League game, Wainwright's white Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck is driven on the warning track at Roger Dean Stadium as the public address announcer states that it will be given away to a lucky fan. A stunned Wainwright watches from the bench as the supposed prize winners, a father and his son, climb into the bed of the truck when it stops in front of the home dugout and Berkman, who is driving, pokes his head out of the window, waves to everyone, and drives away.
- The Reds trade 3B Juan Francisco, once a top prospect but now out of minor league options, to the Braves in return for minor league P J.J. Hoover after he fails to make the team out of spring training.
- 2013:
- For the first time since the New York Mets started play in 1962, both New York teams open the season at home on the same day. The Mets improve their Opening Day record to a major league best 34-18 by crushing the Padres, 11 - 2, behind the pitching of Jon Niese and a double and grand slam from new CF Collin Cowgill. Things aren't so good for the Yankees, who lose to the Red Sox, 8 - 2.
- The legend of Bryce Harper keeps growing. He homers off Miami's Ricky Nolasco in his first two at-bats of the season and accounts for all of the Nationals' runs in a 2 - 0 Opening Day win at home. Harper, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year, is the youngest player to homer twice on Opening Day. Stephen Strasburg gets the win, giving up three hits and no walks in seven innings.
- Clayton Kershaw turns in a great all-around performance on Opening Day, pitching a four-hit shutout and homering off George Kontos in the 8th to break a scoreless tie as the Dodgers defeat the Giants, 4 - 0. Don Drysdale, back in 1965, was the last major league pitcher to pitch a shutout and homer on opening day, also for the Dodgers.
- For the first time in major league history, an interleague contest is played on Opening Day, as the American League's Angels visit the National League Reds. The Angels win, 3 - 1, in 13 innings, after both starters, Jered Weaver and Johnny Cueto are dominant in the early going. Worse than the loss for the Reds is the dislocated shoulder suffered by LF Ryan Ludwick, sustained when he dives for a ball in the 3rd inning. With the Houston Astros moving to the AL this season, there is a necessity to play at least one interleague series at all times, as both leagues now number an odd 15 teams.
- 2014:
- The Yankees and Astros are the last two teams to open their season, meeting before a crowd of 42,117 at Minute Maid Park. The game does not follow the expected script as the Astros, coming off three straight 100-loss season and having lost their last 15 games in 2013, defeat the Bronx Bombers, 6 - 2. Scott Feldman pitches 6 2/3 scoreless innings and Jesus Guzman and L.J. Hoes homer against Yankee starter CC Sabathia.
- For an April Fools prank, the Frontier League announces that all batters will start a 1-1 count in the coming season as a move to speed up games.
- 2016:
- The Diamondbacks get bad news as CF A.J. Pollock breaks his right elbow sliding head-first into home plate in the penultimate game of spring training. He will need surgery and will start the season on the disabled list.
- For the third straight year, fans turn out in droves at Stade Olympique in Montreal, QC for the first of two exhibition games by the Toronto Blue Jays against the Boston Red Sox. Over 52,000 pack the stadium to see former Montreal Expos greats Pedro Martinez and Tim Raines throw the ceremonial first pitch. Boston wins the game, 4 - 2, in ten innings, on Ryan LaMarre's two-out, two-run double off Pat McCoy.
- 2018 - Three days after being the starting designated hitter on Opening Day in his major league debut, Japanese phenom Shohei Ohtani makes his debut on the mound, pitching six innings in leading the Angels to a 7 - 4 win over the Athletics. The only blemish on his ledger is a three-run homer by Matt Chapman in the 2nd. Ohtani is the first player since Babe Ruth in 1919 to start as a position player on opening day and then start a game on the mound within his team's first ten games. Joe Bush and Clarence Mitchell had also started games on the mound and in the field in their first ten games in 1920.
- 2020 - For the first time in 38 years, the European Champions Cup will not be held as it is the latest sporting event canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It follows the College World Series, Haarlem Baseball Week and Olympics in the baseball world.
- 2021:
- In a partial return to normalcy, Opening Day takes place as scheduled in Major League Baseball, with thirteen of the fifteen games being played. The exceptions are a rainout at Fenway Park, and the game between the Nationals and Mets which is postponed because of a positive COVID-19 test by a Nats player, which in turns places four other members of the team in preventive quarantine, a sign that the pandemic that completely upended the previous season has not yet been defeated.
- In one of the strangest plays today, the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger connects for an apparent home run with Justin Turner on first base in the 3rd inning of their game against the Rockies at Coors Field. The ball goes in and out of leaping LF Raimel Tapia's glove to land in the stands, but Turner, who was running on the play, thinks it has been caught and sprints back to first base. On the way, he crosses paths with Bellinger, who is running in the opposite direction. Bellinger is called out for passing a baserunner, and his homer becomes a long single, but once the confusion has been cleared, Turner is allowed to trot around the bases, so at least Bellinger gets an RBI. The play helps the Rockies win the game, 8 - 5.
- With many European seasons on hold due to the pandemic being worse there (in part due to lower vaccination rates than in the US), Germany's Bundesliga is the first European league to kick off. The Stuttgart Reds pummel the Ulm Falcons, 22 - 1, in Europe's opener as Antonio Horvatić scores five and drives in three with three extra-base hits while William Germaine goes 4 for 6 with three runs. Marcel Giraud fans 13.
- 2022 - The White Sox send relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel to the Dodgers in return for OF A.J. Pollock in a trade whose objective is to improve both teams immediately and where financial considerations are not paramount, a rare occurrence in current times.
- 2023 - Trayce Thompson has the first three-homer game of the major league season - and the first of his career - in leading the Dodgers to a 10 - 1 win over the Diamondbacks. Playing his first game of the year, he hits a grand slam off Madison Bumgarner in the 1st, adds a three-run blast off Kevin Ginkel in the 5th, and finishes his day's work with a solo shot against Carlos Vargas in the 8th, giving him 8 RBIs.
