June 25th: Today in baseball history ...

[Auggie]

(because it's so dead around here)

June 25, 1976
Toby Harrah becomes the first shortstop in major league history to play in both ends of a twin bill without taking a single fielding chance. The Rangers' infielder's lack of activity at Arlington Stadium isn't due to a lack of hitting as Texas splits the double header, winning the opener 8-4 before dropping the nightcap to the White Sox, 14-9.

June 25, 1961
The Orioles and the Angels set a major league record by using 16 pitchers, eight by each side. Ron Hansen's 14th-inning homer gives Baltimore the 9-8 victory at L.A.'s Wrigley Field.

June 25, 2011
The Giants beat the Indians, 1-0, with the game's lone run scoring on a base-loaded seventh-inning balk. Tony Sipp allows the run to score when he flinches his throwing arm just prior to delivering a pitch to Emmanuel Burriss balking home Miguel Tejada.

June 25, 1988
At Fenway Park, Oriole shortstop Cal Ripken reaches a major milestone playing in his 1,000th consecutive game.

June 25, 1999
Entering the game with an 6+ ERA, Jose Jimenez faces only 28 batters and no-hits the Diamondbacks,1-0. The Cardinal hurler is the first NL rookie to throw a no-hitter since 1972 and the first Cardinal since 1983 to accomplish the feat.

1. The White Sox' lineup must have been loaded with lefties

2. You left one out:

1995 - Rockies first baseman Andres Galarraga becomes the fourth player to homer in three consecutive innings in an 11-3 win over the Padres. Galarraga, who had seven RBI in the game, went deep in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings and was on deck when the Rockies were retired in the ninth.
