Events, births and deaths that occurred on March 7.
Events[edit]
- 1889 - Pittsburgh Alleghenys third baseman Billy Kuehne is arrested at his billiards parlour in Allegheny City and is charged, along with his partner pitcher Ed Morris, with running a gambling house. When the case comes to trial, the key witness fails to appear and the charges will be dropped.
- 1893 - In arguably the most significant rule change in major league history, the National League eliminates the pitching box and adds a pitcher's rubber five feet behind the previous back line of the box, establishing the modern pitching distance of 60 feet 6 inches. In addition, bats flattened on one side to facilitate bunting are banned.
- 1896 - A Chicago, IL sportswriter quoted in the New York Clipper notes that "Bill Dahlen is one of the few now in the National League who came blood new from a punky little league and became a good thing at first jump." Indeed, Dahlen will eventually accumulate 2,460 hits and a .272 average over a 21-year major league career.
- 1902 - Future Hall of Famer James (Pud) Galvin dies at the age of 45. Galvin won 361 games over a 14-year career, placing him in a tie for sixth on the all-time list for most wins. In 1883 and 1884, Galvin won a combined 92 games.
- 1903 - In the first trade under the peace treaty, the New York Giants send their 1902 part-time manager Heinie Smith to the Detroit Tigers for second baseman Kid Gleason, who is immediately moved to the Philadelphia Phillies where he will end a 20-year playing career.
- 1908 - Near Lexington, Kentucky, the train carrying the Cleveland Naps is struck by two bricks, shattering windows. Elmer Flick, Bill Bradley, and Harry Bay are hit by the flying glass while playing euchre, but no injuries occur. Tomorrow, the team will arrive safely in Macon, Georgia for spring training.
- 1919 - Christy Mathewson, back from World War I, rejoins the New York Giants as pitching coach and heir apparent to John McGraw.
- 1923:
- After sitting out most of last season, Fred Toney signs for one more year with the St. Louis Cardinals.
- The New England American Legion appeals to Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to discontinue morning games on Memorial Day. The request is turned down.
- 1924 - At Orlando, Florida, Cincinnati Reds manager Pat Moran dies from Bright's disease at the age of 48. A veteran of nine National League seasons as a manager, Moran guided the Reds to a record of 91-63 and a second-place finish in 1923. Coach Jack Hendricks replaces the popular Moran, who was the Reds' manager when they won the controversial 1919 World Series.
- 1941 - At Havana, the Brooklyn Dodgers roll over the Cleveland Indians, 15 - 0. Pee Wee Reese and Joe Medwick use a batting helmet designed by two Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors with the help of Larry MacPhail. The two Dodgers, victims of several hit by pitches last year, pronounce the helmets satisfactory. Brooklyn pitcher Van Lingle Mungo celebrates the victory a little too hard and when tomorrow's game is rained out, he continues to party. The result is that manager Leo Durocher sends him a note informing he's been reassigned to the Dodgers' minor league camp in Macon, Georgia. Mungo will pitch just two innings for Brooklyn this year.
- 1946 - Negro Leaguer Marvin Williams, playing for Vargas against Magallanes, sets a still-standing Venezuelan League mark by driving in eight runs on two home runs and two singles. Vargas wins 16 - 9.
- 1955 - Commissioner Ford Frick states that he favors legalization of the spitter, "a great pitch and one of the easiest to throw."
- 1956 - The Players Association accept the owners' decisions on minimum pay and the World Series television agreement. They seek workman's compensation coverage.
- 1965 - Detroit Tigers manager Chuck Dressen suffers a mild coronary occlusion. He will be sidelined until May 19th. Meanwhile, coach Bob Swift will be acting manager.
- 1977 - The Atlanta Braves file suit against Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, challenging the severity of the penalty for tampering charges stemming from their signing of free agent OF Gary Matthews.
- 1979:
- Slugging outfielder Hack Wilson and longtime executive Warren Giles are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee. Wilson, who had a relatively short career, won four National League home run titles while with the Chicago Cubs. His most productive season came in 1930, when he set an all-time major league record with 191 RBI, hit 56 home runs (a NL record for 68 years) and batted .356. For his career, Wilson hit .307 with 244 home runs and 1063 RBI. Giles served as president of the Cincinnati Reds from 1937 to 1951, before becoming National League President for 18 seasons.
- At spring training, exhibition season opens with semi-pro and amateur umpires in place of major league arbiters, who are staging a collective holdout which won't be resolved until a few weeks into the season.
- 1981 - The Atlanta Braves trade outfielder Jeff Burroughs to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for pitcher Carlos Diaz.
- 1991 - Cool Papa Bell dies in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 87. An outfielder with blazing speed, Bell played in the Negro Leagues from 1922 to 1946. Bell entered the Hall of Fame in 1974, joining fellow Negro Leagues stars Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard and Monte Irvin.
- 1995 - The Special Veterans Committee elects former major leaguers Richie Ashburn and Vic Willis, former National League president William Hulbert, and former Negro League player Leon Day to the Hall of Fame. Day will die of a heart attack six days from now.
- 1998 - The New York Yankees sign pitcher Orlando Hernandez, brother of the 1997 World Series hero Livan Hernandez, to a four-year, $6.6 million contract.
- 1999 - In a historic agreement, it is announced that the Baltimore Orioles will travel to Cuba for a March 28th exhibition game against the Cuban national team in Havana. The Cuban team will travel to the United States for a return contest later this season. It is the first time in 40 years that a team from the USA will play a professional game in Cuba.
- 2006:
- Five games are played today in the inaugural World Baseball Classic. In Pool B, Derrek Lee and Chipper Jones hammer solo home runs powering the USA to a 2 - 0 win over Mexico. Jake Peavy is the starting pitcher for the U.S. and combines with six relievers on the four-hit shutout. Canada narrowly avoids a startling loss in its debut, rallying for four runs in the top of the 9th inning to beat South Africa.
- In Pool C, Bernie Williams drives in a 6th-inning run to hand Puerto Rico a 2 - 1 victory over Panama, while in Pool D, Adrian Beltre and David Ortiz each belt two home runs as the Dominican Republic crushes Venezuela, 11 - 5. Pitchers Jason Grilli and Riccardo De Santis combine on a one-hitter over seven innings and Mark Saccomanno and Vincent Sinisi each belt two-run home runs as Italy defeats Australia, 10 - 0.
- Boston Red Sox backup catcher John Flaherty retires, ending his 14-year major league career with the team he started it with. He signed last December as a free agent after three seasons with the New York Yankees. Flaherty, who also played for Detroit, San Diego and Tampa Bay, posted a .252 batting average with 80 home runs and 395 RBI in 1,047 games. He will remain active in the game as a broadcaster.
- 2008:
- The 2008 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament begins. In an all-North American match-up, Canada out-slugs Mexico, 15 - 10. Matt Rogelstad goes 3 for 4 with three runs and three RBI and Jimmy Van Ostrand drives in four runs with a three-hit game. Geronimo Gil collects three hits in a losing cause.
- Germany gives Australia a tough game, losing 4 - 1, despite five wild pitches and five walks from starting pitcher Tim Henkenjohann. Paul Mildren and Scott Mitchinson provide the fine pitching for the Aussies. Germany's lone run comes in the 1st when Kai Gronauer doubles home Dominik Wulf.
- The South Korean national team shuts out South Africa on two hits, with Min-han Son tossing a gem. South Korea's offense is paced by five doubles, including two by Dong-joo Kim, in the 5 - 0 win.
- Host Taiwan routs Spain by a 13 - 3 score as ace Manny Olivera, a former AA hurler, proves ineffective against the injury-depleted Taiwan squad.
- 2009:
- In the 2009 World Baseball Classic, the Netherlands register a tremendous upset by beating the Dominican Republic, 3 - 2, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Dominicans hurt themselves by playing poor fundamental baseball: two Dutch runs score on a throwing error by shortstop Hanley Ramirez, while Willy Taveras is gunned down by C Kenley Jansen on an attempted steal of third base in the bottom of the 9th. Sidney Ponson allows both Dominican runs in 4 innings of work but gets the win in his debut for the Dutch squad, while Rob Cordemans, Juan Carlos Sulbaran and Leon Boyd provide scoreless relief work.
- The USA holds off Canada, 6 - 5, in a closely-fought game in Toronto, ON. Kevin Youkilis, Brian McCann and Adam Dunn homer for the USA, while Joey Votto and Russell Martin reply for Canada.
- Puerto Rico shuts out Panama, 7 - 0, thanks to two home runs by Ivan Rodriguez before a home crowd at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Carlos Delgado also homers for Puerto Rico.
- Carlos Silva and Felix Hernandez each pitch four scoreless innings as Venezuela shuts out Italy, 7 - 0, in Toronto. Mark DiFelice also throws four scoreless frames for the Italians, but reliever Jason Grilli is greeted by a solo home run from Carlos Guillen in the 5th to open the floodgates for Venezuela.
- China beats Taiwan, 4 - 1, their second straight "upset" of Taiwan on the international stage. Fenglian Hou and Ray Chang each get three hits for China while Jiangang Lu picks up the win.
- Japan crushes South Korea, 14 - 2, forcing the mercy rule to come into play after seven innings. Shuichi Murata and Norichika Aoki each drive in three runs and both Ichiro Suzuki and Kenji Johjima score three as Japan roughs up former Japan-killer Kwang-hyun Kim. Daisuke Matsuzaka gets the victory.
- 2011:
- The Diamondbacks and White Sox play an exhibition game in their old Cactus League ballpark in Tucson, AZ in benefit for a fund set up in memory of Christina Taylor Green, the daughter of John Green and granddaughter of Dallas Green, who was killed in a shooting spree in Tucson in January.
- At the KBO meeting, a couple of rule changes are introduced. NCsoft, which is to get an expansion team in 2013 (the league's first expansion in 12 years), is given extra picks in the draft its first two years in order to make it more competitive. Also, the KBO decides to institute the Rule 5 draft; given the larger rosters in Korea, it is unknown if this will be meaningful or not.
- 2012:
- Enrique Esteban Díaz singles off Julio Martinez Wong in the 3rd inning of a Pinar del Rio-Metropolitanos game for his 2,357th hit in Cuba, breaking Antonio Pacheco's record. Díaz had never led the league in average, though he had led in steals, triples and runs.
- Prize Japanese import Yu Darvish makes his Cactus League debut with the Texas Rangers by striking out the first batter he faces, San Diego's Cameron Maybin. He pitches two scoreless innings while striking out three and impresses all onlookers as the Rangers go on to win the game, 6 - 2.
- With the Marlins about to inaugurate Marlins Park, team President David Samson does what he does best - put his foot in his mouth. According to Miami Today, speaking before the high-powered "Beacon Council" of Miami, FL, Samson makes disparaging remarks about state politicians and the intellect of local residents. This is particularly damaging given the new ballpark has been largely financed by local taxpayers, to a degree such that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether the bonds issued to finance the stadium were proposed on terms misleading to potential investors. For his part, Samson claims he was misquoted.
- 2013:
- Italy registers a huge upset in the opening game of Pool D in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, coming back to beat Mexico, 6 - 5, with a pair of runs against closer Sergio Romo in the top of the 9th. Almost as surprising is light-hitting catcher Drew Butera hitting a two-run homer off Alfredo Aceves in the 4th. Anthony Rizzo provides the other key blow, hitting a towering fly ball to right field that drops out of Edgar Gonzalez's glove for a two-run double off Romo. Jason Grilli then loads the bases in the bottom of the inning before getting Jorge Cantu to ground out to end the game. Mexico now has to beat both Canada and the USA to have any hope of advancing further.
- In the other game of the day, the Dominican Republic makes easy work of Venezuela with a 9 - 3 win. Jose Reyes has four hits and his teammates score three quick runs off loser Anibal Sanchez to send the Dominicans on their way in a game marred by constant rain and an hour-long delay in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Venezuelans observe a minute of silence and wear black armbands in honor of recently deceased President Hugo Chávez, but can't get the job done in a game that features a parade of 15 pitchers between the two teams.
- 2015 - The Colombian national team makes the Pan American Games for the first time since 1983 by beating host Brazil, 6 - 4, in the finale of the 2015 South American Championship. Javier Ortiz gets the victory over Rafael Miranda, while Cristián Mendoza saves it. The game MVP is center fielder Efrain Contreras, who homers twice. Fabio Murakami goes deep for Brazil. Peru stuns Argentina for the Bronze, 6 - 2, after a 23 - 2 loss to Argentina in round one.
- 2017:
- At the 2017 World Baseball Classic, Israel wins for the second time in as many days as they defeat Chinese Taipei, 15 - 7. Two major league veterans homer for Israel in the contest, Ryan Lavarnway with a two-run shot in the 3rd, and Nate Freiman with a three-run blast in the 9th. Tyler Krieger adds 3 RBIs, and Ike Davis adds a pair as ten different players have at least one hit for the winners. Taiwanese starter Chun-Lin Kuo is chased from the game before he can record three outs, allowing four runs.
- In the other WBC games, South Korea suffers its second humiliating loss, being blanked, 5 - 0, by the Netherlands. Rick van den Hurk (4 innings), Diegomar Markwell (2 innings) and Shairon Martis (1 inning) set the tone on the mound, while CF Jurickson Profar hits a two-run homer off Kyu-min Woo in the 1st. LF Randolph Oduber adds another two-run blast in the 6th to put the game away. Finally, Japan defeats Cuba, 11 - 6, thanks to a three-run homer by 3B Nobuhiro Matsuda and a two-run shot by LF Yoshitomo Tsutsugo. Ayumu Ishikawa is the winner over Yoanni Yera.
- 2018 - Ichiro Suzuki is returning to the place where his North American journey started, signing a one-year deal with the Mariners. The 44-year-old outfielder first played in the majors with Seattle back in 2001 and had his best seasons with the team.
