Carlton Fisk of the White Sox, plays his 2,226th and final major league game, surpassing Bob Boone’s record of 2,225 for most games caught. Fisk reluctantly retires with 3,999 total bases, the most ever for a catcher. The Sox will exacerbate Fisk’s bitterness by refusing to allow him into the locker room after the Sox make the playoffs this year. When the Sox retire Fisk’s #72 in 1997, Fisk will request that Jerry Reinsdorf and GM Ron Schueler not be there for the ceremony, and when he goes into Cooperstown he will wear a Red Sox cap. A clerical error about three games caught in 1981, in which Fisk relieved, initially gives him a total of 2,229 games caught. This error will appear on Fisk’s Hall of Fame plaque when he is inducted, the 5th edition of Total Baseball, and the 1997 edition of The Sports Encyclopedia – Baseball. Other records books correctly show him with 2,226 games caught lifetime. SABR historian Wayne McElreavy and others note the discrepancy and the plaque and subsequent editions of the record books will correct the total to 2,226.

The Rangers feel good after scoring 5 runs and chasing Chris Capuano in the 1st inning, but it doesn’t last as the Yankees answer by scoring 11 times in the 2nd, the most by any team in any inning this season. The inning features 10 hits including a bases-clearing triple by Didi Gregorius. Chris Young then piles on with a grand slam in the 3rd. The Yankees end up winning, 21 – 5, as Diego Moreno records his first career win by pitching 5 1/3 hitless innings in relief of Capuano.
