1951
The American League alters its restrictions on night games, adopting the National League's suspended game rule and lifting its ban on lights for Sunday games.
They had the lights, but because it was Sunday, they wouldn't turn them on if it got dark?
1916
The National Commission fines 51 players $25 to $100 for performing in post-season exhibitions. Among the guilty: Babe Ruth, Jack Barry, Duffy Lewis, 10 other Red Sox players, and Ty Cobb.
So, the players got fined for going out and trying to make a little extra cash in the off-season. By the way, I think that Ruth and Cobb got paid a bit more than $100 for playing his exhibition games.
