Baseball History -- June 18

Complete entry for June 18 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1941
The Giants play an 11-inning tie in Pittsburgh because of a regulation that states that no inning can be started after 11:50 P.M. The game is held up in the 4th inning so that the fans can listen to a broadcast of the title fight between local favorite Billy Conn and Joe Louis.

This probably made a lot more sense in 1941.
