1909 The Chicago White Sox stole 12 bases, including home plate three times, in a 15-3 rout of the St. Louis Browns.

1930 Chicago outfielder Carl Reynolds homered in the first, second and third innings, leading the White Sox to a 15-4 win over the New York Yankees. Reynolds, the second player in history to hit home runs in three consecutiv­e innings, had two inside-the-park homers.

1933 Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0 in an 18-inning game. He allowed six hits and no walks. In the second game of the doublehead­er, the Cardinals were blanked 1-0, with Roy Parmelee outdueling Dizzy Dean.

1933 Jimmie Foxx of the Philadelph­ia Athletics set and American League record with 21 total bases in a doublehead­er. Foxx hit two solo homers in the opener, a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Browns. In the nightcap, an 11-6 loss, Foxx had two homers, a double and a triple.
