Ken Griffey, Jr. hits his first ML home run‚ off Eric King‚ in Seattle's 6-5 win over the White Sox. He and his father‚ a reserve outfielder on the Reds‚ are the first father-and-son duo to play in the major leagues at the same time.1976
The Brewers trail 9-6 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th inning at a full County Stadium. Because of crowd noise‚ Yankee relief P Dave Pagan does not hear the time-out called by 1B Chris Chambliss. Pagan pitches to Don Money‚ who hits a grand slam. Because of the time-out the HR is nullified. Money bats again‚ and hits a sacrifice fly. The final score is 9-7 and the Brewers protest the game.1962

With 52‚564 fans on hand‚ the Dodgers inaugurate the $22 million facility with a 6-3 loss to the Reds. Wally Post hits the first homer in the new stadium‚ a 3-run shot over the CF fence in the 7th.
