Yankee spokesman Jason Zillo announces Cracker Jack, which has been baseball’s most famous snack for over 100 years, will not be sold at Yankee Stadium and will be replaced by a product known as Crunch ‘n Munch. The change, short-lived due to the fans’ negative reaction, is being made, according to Yankees’ officials, because Crunch ‘n Munch tastes better, but may have been really prompted by Frito-Lay’s decision to package the game’s well-known treat in only bags and not boxes.

Brad Thompson breaks a 97-year-old minor league record set in 1907 by Irvin Wilhelm by hurling 57 consecutive scoreless innings. Thompson sets the mark pitching in the Southern League for the Tennessee Smokies, a Double-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. He falls just two innings short of the professional mark of 59 established by Orel Hershiser in 1988.

45-year-old Julio Franco breaks his own record for the oldest player in major league history to bat a pinch home run. Franco, who had a pinch-hit homer two weeks earlier against San Diego, hits a two-out, two-run homer to tie the game at 4 – 4 in the 8th inning. Despite Franco’s effort, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeat the Atlanta Braves, 6 – 4, in 11 innings.
