1982 The moving of Chief Noc-A-Homa’s and his teepee from left field to make room for more seats coincides with the Braves dropping 19 0f 21 contests and blowing a 10.5 game lead. After the teepee is brought back, the team regains first place and will go on to capture the NL West title.

1988 Reds' reliever John Franco establishes the major league record for the most saves in the month. His 13th save bests the mark shared by Sparky Lyle, Bruce Sutter and Bob Stanley.

1996 The Giants trade starting pitcher Mark Leiter to the Expos in exchange for Kirk Rueter. In his 10 years with San Francisco, Woody compiles an 105-70 record.

2001 The Twins get Mets starter Rick Reed for outfielder and leadoff batter Matt Lawton. The 36-year old right-hander, a member of the National League All Star team this season, had compiled an 8-6 record with a 3.86 ERA with New York prior to the deal.

2003 Battling a 5-for-36 slump, Jose Valentin hits three home runs in 15-4 victory over the Royals. The White Sox shortstop becomes first switch-hitter in baseball history to have three-homer games in both the American and National Leagues, having accomplishing the feat with the Brewers in 1998.

2004 In separate deals with the Pirates and Devil Rays, the Mets gamble with their future giving up top prospects to acquire major league pitchers who can immediately step into the rotation. Free agent eligible Kris Benson and infielder Jeff Keppinger are obtained from the Pirates for infielder Ty Wigginton, pitcher Matt Peterson and infielder Jose Bautista, who came in a trade today with the Royals for minor league catcher Justin Huber and Victor Zambrano and Bartolome Fortunato become Mets when the Tampa Bay agrees to take New York's top pitching prospect Scott Kazmir and minor league pitcher Jose Diaz.

2004 In a blockbuster trade, the Marlins deal Brad Penny, the winner of two World Series games last season, first baseman Hee Seop Choi and southpaw prospect Bill Murphy (will be traded to the Diamondbacks tomorrow) to the Dodgers for backstop Paul Lo Duca, relief pitcher Guillermo Mota and much-traveled outfielder Juan Encarnacion.

2006 The Yankees trade four minor leaguers, shortstop C.J. Henry, southpaw reliever Matt Smith, catcher Jesus Sanchez and right-hander Carlos Monasterios, to the Phillies in exchange for All-Star outfielder Bobby Abreu and veteran pitcher Cory Lidle. New York will assume responsibility of Abreu's contract which includes the remaining portion of the $13.5 million for this season, $15.5 million for next year, and a $16 million option for 2008 with a $2 million buyout.

2006 Eighteen individuals, the largest number ever selected, are inducted into the Hall of Fame. The group consist of 17 persons, including the first woman to enter the Hall, who had participated in the pre-Negro Leagues or Negro Leagues and Bruce Sutter, the fourth reliever to be enshrined in Cooperstown.

2007 In front of a record crowd of a estimated 75,000 fans and unprecedented number of 53 members of the Hall of Famers, Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn are inducted into the shrine at Cooperstown. Joining the ballplayers on the dais are Denny Matthews, the longtime radio voice of the Royals, the recipient Ford C. Frick Award given to outstanding broadcasters, and Rick Hummel, beat writer for the Post-Dispatch, the J.G. Taylor Spink Award honoree for his outstanding coverage of the Cardinals.

2008 The Yankees, in need of a catcher due to Jorge Posoda' season-ending surgery, obtain 13-time Gold Glove winner Ivan Rodriguez from the Tigers in exchange for reliever Kyle Farnsworth. The 36-year-old All-star backstop waives his no-trade clause to go to New York which completes the deal a day before the trading deadline.

2008 With a 4-3 victory at McAfee Coliseum, the Royals sweep the A’s in Oakland for the first time in two decades. The last time Kansas City broke out the broom in O-town was in June of 1988.

2008 In a slugfest at Progessive Field, the Tigers defeat the Indians in 13 innings, 14-12. Cleveland catcher Kelly Shoppach's five extra-base hits in one game, two home runs and three doubles, ties a major league record.

2008 With a tip of his helmet for the ovation from the Rangers fans, Ichiro Suzuki acknowledges his achievement of reaching 3,000 hits in professional baseball. The 34-year-old Mariners outfielder had collected 1,278 hits with the Orix Blue Wave in the Japan’s Pacific League, and his first-inning single in Texas was his 1,722nd hit with Seattle during eight seasons the team. ]]> MLB Betting bobalou http://www.bangthebook.com/forum/mlb-betting/25460-7-30-bb-history.html http://www.bangthebook.com/forum/nfl-betting/25459-eagles-sign-top-pick.html Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:46:43 GMT According to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, Graham will report to training camp on Friday.
