Losing to the A’s at Oakland’s McAfee Coliseum, 4-0, the Royals establish a franchise record by losing their 19th consecutive game and tie the club’s mark by dropping its 12th straight road game. The 38-82 squad needs two more defeats to match the American League record of 21 losses accomplished by the 1988 Orioles, and four more will tie the major league mark of 23 endured by the 1961 Phillies.

A new internship, announced by the independent minor league team, the Brockton Rox, will be dedicated in the memory of the Emerson journalism student accidentally killed in 2004 by the Boston police during a near riot around Fenway Park after the Red Sox beat the Yankees to win the pennant. “The Victoria Snelgrove Media Internship”, which will be awarded to an aspiring journalist hosting pregame and postgame radio shows, hopefully will focus attention on the senseless violence that sometimes follows sporting contests.

As skipper of the Fort Worth Cats of the Central Baseball League, Bobby Bragan becomes the oldest person to ever to manage a professional baseball game. The 87-year-old, whose one day of employment is shortened by being ejected in the 3rd inning for arguing balls and strikes, is eight days older than Connie Mack, who managed his last game for the 1950 Athletics.
