Umpire Tom Connolly, tiring of the taunting from the Red Sox bench, ejects eight Boston players.<br /><br />1916 - The Red Sox play their fourth doubleheader in six days, losing the opener, 2-1, to the St. Louis Browns. Tilly Walker's RBI double in the 8th gives Boston its first score in 28 innings. Boston breaks out in the second game, pounding four Browns pitchers for 18 hits to win 17-4. Babe Ruth picks up the win, leaving after six innings.<br /><br />1920 - Babe Ruth ties his 1919 record of 29 home runs with a game-winner in the 13th to beat the St. Louis Browns, 13-10. Two days later, he will break it by hitting two off White Sox pitcher Dickie Kerr.<br /><br />1994 - In the 1st inning at Comiskey Park, White Sox manager Gene Lamont accuses Cleveland slugger Albert Belle of using a corked bat, and umpire Dave Phillips confiscates the bat and stores it in the umps' dressing room. In a Mission Impossible caper revealed in 1999, Cleveland pitcher Jason Grimsley crawls 100 feet along a ceiling, drops down into the dressing room, and exchanges Belle's bat for one of Paul Sorrento's. After the game, the switch is discovered to the consternation of the umps and the White Sox. Cleveland subsequently turns over one of Belle's bats and Belle is given a 10-day suspension, later reduced to seven games.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
