Complete entry for August 4 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1985
In a day of milestones‚ Tom Seaver becomes the 17th pitcher to win 300 games and Rod Carew becomes the 16th player ever to collect 3‚000 career hits. Seaver pitches the White Sox to a 4-1 six-hit victory on Phil Rizzuto Day at Yankee Stadium as 54‚032 New Yorkers cheer him on‚ while Carew bloops a single to left off Frank Viola in the 3rd inning of the Angels 6-5 win over the Twins.

Seaver in New York. Carew versus the Twins. Perfect.
