Events, births and deaths that occurred on April 2.
Events[edit]
- 1869 - Hughie Jennings is born in Pittston, PA. Jennings will be a standout shortstop before making a successful transition to manager. He will lead the Baltimore Orioles National League club to four straight appearances in the 19th century Temple Cup World Championship Series from 1894 to 1897 and the Detroit Tigers to three consecutive American League pennants from 1907 to 1909. Jennings will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee in 1945.
- 1874 - At the fourth meeting of the National Association in Boston, the batter's box is officially adopted. It is also decided that expulsion will be the penalty for any player betting on his own team and any player betting on any other team will forfeit his pay.
- 1901 - Jimmy Collins switches leagues but not cities. Collins leaves the Boston Beaneaters National League club to play and manage the American League's new Boston Americans. The NL Beaneaters will also lose outfielder Hugh Duffy, who becomes manager of Milwaukee's new AL entry, and catcher Billy Sullivan, who signs with the Chicago White Sox.
- 1908 - The Mills Commission determines that Abner Doubleday originated the game of baseball. In its final report, the seven-man commission states that: "The first scheme for playing baseball, according to the best evidence obtainable to date, was devised by Abner Doubleday at Cooperstown, NY, in 1839." The commission's conclusions will be discredited as a complete fabrication, however.
- 1918 - The New York Yankees purchase first baseman "Tioga" George Burns from the Detroit Tigers and immediately trade him to the Philadelphia Athletics for outfielder Ping Bodie.
- 1931 - At Engel Stadium, Miss Jackie Mitchell strikes out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game held in Chattanooga, TN. The 17-year-old girl, a member of the Chattanooga Lookouts roster, also walks Tony Lazzeri in Chattanooga's 14 - 4 loss to the New York Yankees. In 1933 Mitchell will pitch for the House of David team.
- 1945 - Don Sutton is born in Clio, AL. Sutton will make his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966 and will win 324 games over a 23-year major league career. He will gain election to the Hall of Fame in 1998.
- 1952 - New York Giants slugger Monte Irvin breaks his ankle sliding into third base during an exhibition game against the Cleveland Indians in Denver, CO. The injury will force him to miss most of this season.
- 1962 - The Minnesota Twins acquire first baseman Vic Power and pitcher Dick Stigman from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for pitcher Pedro Ramos.
- 1963 - The Houston Colt .45s send young Manny Mota to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a prospect and cash. For five years, Mota will be a solid fourth outfielder for the Pirates and an outstanding pinch hitter.
- 1968 - Tony Conigliaro returns to the Boston Red Sox with vision trouble. He will miss the entire season, a consequence of his beaning last year.
- 1972 - Former Dodgers star and Mets manager Gil Hodges collapses just minutes after completing a round of golf in West Palm Beach, Florida, and dies of a heart attack. The popular Hodges dies just two days before his 48th birthday. Hodges had guided the Mets to their "miraculous" 1969 World Series championship.
- 1976 - The Oakland Athletics trade two key members from their recent World Series championship teams, sending outfielder Reggie Jackson and pitcher Ken Holtzman along with minor leaguer Bill VanBommell to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for outfielder Don Baylor and pitchers Mike Torrez and Paul Mitchell.
- 1982 - Oakland Athletics pitcher Steve McCatty walks to home plate during a spring training game carrying a 15-inch toy bat. Oakland manager Billy Martin had ordered McCatty to use the toy bat as a protest of the rule preventing the use of the designated hitter in National League ballparks. Umpire Jim Quick refuses to let McCatty use the bat.
- 1984 - For the first time in ten years, the New York Mets lose on Opening Day, bowing to the Cincinnati Reds, 8 - 1.
- 1995 - The longest strike in major league history comes to an end. Having the first 23 days of this major league season canceled and 252 games of the last season lost, the owners accept the players' March 31st unconditional offer to return to work. The players' decision to return to work is made after US District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor issued an injunction restoring terms and conditions of the expired agreement. Teams will play 144-game schedules. The strike had begun on August 12, 1994.
- 1996:
- Due to renovations in the Coliseum, the Oakland Athletics play their season opener in Las Vegas, NV, losing to the Toronto Blue Jays, 9 - 6, in front of only 7,296 fans at Cashman Field.
- Detroit Tigers first baseman Cecil Fielder steals the first base of his eleven-year major league career. His theft of second base comes in the 1,097th game that Fielder has played, establishing the longest duration a player had ever gone without a stolen base.
- 1997:
- For the first time in Major League Baseball history, the salary of one player is more than the payroll of an entire team. The Chicago White Sox will pay Albert Belle $10 million for the season which is $928,333 more than the entire Pittsburgh Pirates payroll.
- Tino Martinez leads the Yankees to a 16 - 2 romp over the Mariners at the Kingdome. The former M's first baseman hits three home runs -- a solo job, a two-run tater and a three-run shot. With the game out of reach and the crowd chanting his name, he has two opportunities to hit a grand slam, but fails to become the first player to hit home runs for the cycle. He ends the game going 4-for-6 with 7 RBI, a walk and 5 runs scored.
- 1998 - By hitting a home run in Colorado's 6 - 4 victory over Arizona at Bank One Ballpark, Ellis Burks sets a major league record by having homered in 33 different stadiums.
- 2000 - At Ameriquest Field in Arlington, Texas Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers ties the Minnesota Twins' Frank Viola for third place in consecutive home wins when he defeats the Chicago White Sox. Rogers has won 19 consecutive home games and hasn't lost on his own turf since June 28, 1997, a span of 1,012 days. Ray Kremer of the Pittsburgh Pirates holds the record of 22 consecutive home wins in 1926 and 1927, and Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox is second with 20 straight home wins from 1938 to 1941.
- 2001:
- For the first time in major league history, a Japanese position player participates in a regular season game. Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, hitless in his first three at-bats, singles in the 7th inning to ignite a two-run rally, and bunts for another single in the 8th in his debut at Safeco Field. He will go on to be both the American League Rookie of the Year and MVP this year.
- On Opening Day, New York Yankees fireballer Roger Clemens becomes the all-time American League career strikeout leader, passing Walter Johnson. Kansas City Royals infielder Joe Randa is his 3,509th victim. Clemens now takes over the seventh spot in major league history from Johnson.
- San Francisco Giants starter Livan Hernandez beats the San Diego Padres, 3 - 2, with relief help from Robb Nen, who strikes outs the three batters he faces. Padres outfielder Tony Gwynn collects his 3,110th hit, tying him with Dave Winfield on the all-time list. With his start today, Gwynn becomes the fifth player in National League history to spend 20+ years while playing his entire career with one team. The others are: Cap Anson (1871-1897 Cubs), Mel Ott (1926-1947 Giants), Stan Musial (1941-1944, 1946-1963 Cardinals), and Willie Stargell (1962-1982 Pirates).
- 2002:
- In beating the Padres, 9 - 0, the Diamondbacks become the first defending World Champions to open the season with back-to-back shutouts since the Boston Red Sox in 1919. Curt Schilling is the winning pitcher today, following Randy Johnson's two-hitter yesterday.
- In his major league debut, 6' 11" pitcher Jon Rauch of the Chicago White Sox throws a perfect 1 1/3 innings in a 7 - 4 loss to the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. The Louisville, Kentucky native, who was a member of the 2000 US Olympic baseball team, becomes the tallest pitcher to appear in a major league game.
- 2003:
- At 27 years, 249 days of age, Alex Rodriguez becomes the youngest player in major league history to hit 300 home runs. The Texas Rangers shortstop's 5th-inning three-run blast surpasses Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx's mark, which had been accomplished at 27 years, 328 days of age.
- Mike Bordick's record streak for games played and total chances without an error by a shortstop ends as Yankees outfielder Bubba Trammell's 3rd-inning grounder tips off his glove. After converting a fielder's choice in the 1st inning, Bordick misplays his second chance of the game, establishing 544 chances and 110 consecutive games without an error as the new major league mark for shortstops.
- The Detroit Tigers become the first major league team to have four pitchers make their big league debuts during the same game. Rookie starter Jeremy Bonderman, who gives up gives up six runs on nine hits in four innings, is followed by rookies Wilfredo Ledezma, Chris Spurling and Matt Roney in the 8 - 1 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
- Todd Zeile hits a home run in his first at-bat for the New York Yankees, becoming the only major leaguer to hit a home run for ten different teams. In addition to homering with the Yankees, Zeile had also gone deep for the Cardinals, Cubs, Phillies, Orioles, Dodgers, Marlins, Rangers, Mets, and Rockies. He will add the Montreal Expos to the list before the end of the year.
- 2006 - Chicago White Sox newcomer Jim Thome hits a two-run home run after a nearly three-hour rain delay and the defending World Series champions beat the Cleveland Indians, 10 - 4, in the major league opener.
- 2008 - Kevin Youkilis plays his 194th consecutive error-free game at first base, breaking Steve Garvey's 23-year-old major league record. The Red Sox beat the A's, 5 - 0, as six players get two hits and Jon Lester and two relievers team up on a shutout.
- 2010:
- A day after the Italian Baseball League season begins, it gets its first big outing. Former major leaguer Jim Brower carries a perfect game against Grosseto into the 6th before issuing the first of two walks. He goes on to fan ten in a no-hitter for Rimini.
- The Minnesota Twins inaugurate their new ballpark, Target Field, with an 8 - 4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in an exhibition game. The new outdoor venue receives rave reviews from players.
- The injury-ravaged New York Mets round out their roster by making six cuts, sending Ps Nelson Figueroa, Kiko Calero, Bobby Parnell and Elmer Dessens, along with IF Russ Adams and OF Chris Carter, major league veterans all, down to AAA Buffalo. Among those that make it through the day are veteran Frank Catalanotto, a spring training invitee, and 20-year-old P Jenrry Mejia.
- 2011:
- In his first start of the year, Blue Jays P Kyle Drabek pitches seven innings of one-hit ball against the Minnesota Twins to earn his first career win. Jose Molina and Jayson Nix hit homers in the 6 - 1 victory.
- For the second time in two games this year, Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler leads off with a home run, the first player ever to do so, victimizing John Lackey after teeing off against Jon Lester on Opening Day. The Rangers go on to crush the Red Sox, 12 - 5, as 3B Adrian Beltre belts a grand slam against his former team and Yorvit Torrealba and Nelson Cruz also go deep. For the Sox, David Ortiz sets a record for most career RBI by a designated hitter with a two-run homer and a run-scoring ground ball, passing Edgar Martinez, and Jacoby Ellsbury hits his first long ball since 2009. Colby Lewis is the winner for Texas.
- Ichiro Suzuki breaks the franchise hit record for the Seattle Mariners in the Mariners' 6 - 2 win over Oakland. Ten years to the day after his first major league hit, Ichiro collects safety number 2,248, passing Edgar Martinez, with an infield single that drives in the winning run in the 9th.
- The Commissioner's office demands that the New York Yankees stop relaying hand signals from the stands to their hitters at New Yankee Stadium, something which is expressly prohibited by a directive from Major League Baseball. GM Brian Cashman apologizes to Joe Garagiola Jr. and says the team will comply.
- In the 2011 KBO Opening Day, three of the four games end in shutouts while every game is sold out in attendance. All three shutouts are started by Americans - Gary Glover of the SK Wyverns, Bryan Corey of the Lotte Giants and Dustin Nippert of the Doosan Bears.
- The 2011 Bundesliga season also kicks off. The defending champion Buchbinder Legionäre sweep the Haar Disciples, 8 - 6 and 12 - 1. Philipp Hoffschild wins the opener and new import Justin Kuehn game two.
- 2012 - Two young stars sign huge long-term contracts. 1B Joey Votto inks a ten-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds worth $225 million, while pitcher Matt Cain agrees to a six-year contract with the San Francisco Giants for $127 million.
- 2013:
- Yu Darvish flirts with perfection in his first start of the season for the Rangers, retiring the first 26 Astros batters he faces in succession before Marwin Gonzalez singles through the middle with two outs in the 9th. Having struck out 14 batters and with his pitch count at 111, Darvish is then removed from the game and reliever Michael Kirkman gets the game's final out after allowing another single, to Jose Altuve. Texas wins, 7 - 0.
- Madison Bumgarner of the Giants turns the table on the Dodgers, avenging the Opening Day shutout by Clayton Kershaw by pitching eight scoreless innings of his own, giving up only two hits, as the Giants win, 3 - 0. Sergio Romo pitches a perfect 9th inning for the save, while South Korean pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu is a loser in his major league debut.
- The Indians spoil Opening Day for the much-heralded revamped Blue Jays, scoring two runs off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey in the 2nd inning, thanks to a pair of passed balls by C J.P. Arencibia, who has all kinds of trouble handling his new batterymate's dancing pitches. Asdrubal Cabrera adds a two-run homer in the 5th for a 4 - 1 win at the Rogers Centre. Justin Masterson gets the win and Chris Perez the save.
- 2015 - The Diamondbacks trade P Trevor Cahill to Atlanta for minor league OF Josh Elander in a move designed to allow top prospect Archie Bradley to join Arizona's starting rotation.
- 2017:
- The 2017 Major League Baseball season opens with three games. In the first of those, the Rays jump on Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka for seven runs in 2 2/3 innings, including homers by Evan Longoria and Logan Morrison to cruise to a 7-3 win. Chris Archer, who led the major in losses in 2016 with 19, starts off the year with a win.
- Madison Bumgarner becomes the first pitcher to homer twice on opening day as he connects off Zack Greinke in the 5th and Andrew Chafin in the 7th. The Giants have a 5 - 4 lead over the Diamondbacks entering the bottom of the 9th, but with two outs and nobody on, newly signed closer Mark Melancon chokes, allowing a double to Jeff Mathis and three consecutive singles, the last by Chris Owings, as Arizona rallies for a 6 - 5 win.
- 2018 - Pitcher Miles Mikolas marks his return to Major League Baseball after three stellar seasons in Japan by hitting a two-run homer off Zach Davies of the Brewers for his first career hit. He gives up four runs in 5 2/3 innings to lead the Cardinals to an 8 - 4 win.
- 2019 - Returning to Washington, DC for the first time since signing a record free agent contract with the Phillies this spring, Bryce Harper is welcomed with a very loud chorus of boos before each of his at-bats. He has the last laugh, however, as he collects three hits, including a massive 458-foot two-run homer off Jeremy Hellickson in the 8th, to lead the Phils to an 8 - 2 win over the Nationals.
- 2021 - Commissioner Rob Manfred announces that the 2021 All-Star Game will not be staged in Atlanta, GA, as planned, but will be moved to another location to be determined, in response to the state of Georgia's adoption of rules aimed at restricting the voting rights of African-Americans. This follows only two days after President Joe Biden stated he supported such a move, given the discriminatory nature of Georgia's law.
- 2023 - The Red Sox defeat the Orioles, 9 - 5, becoming only the third team since 1901 to score at least nine runs in each of its first three games, and the first since the 1978 Milwaukee Brewers.
