Toronto’s third baseman Howie Clark, believing he hears teammate John McDonald calling to make the play, allows Jorge Posada’s ninth-inning pop fly to land on the ground untouched for an RBI single. The Blue Jays, convinced it was baserunner Alex Rodriguez’ voice which caused the infielder to back off the play, become incensed, describing the Yankee superstar’s behavior as bush league.

Jamie Moyer beats the Braves. It marks his first win against Atlanta in 20 years and 2 days, the longest stretch between victories against a team in major league history. Mike Morgan had been the previous record-holder.

In his 1,000th major league game, Ichiro Suzuki goes 3-for-6, giving the Mariner outfielder a career total of 1,414 hits. Only Hall of Famer Al Simmons compiled more in a same span of games, collecting 1,443 from 1924-1931 for the Philadelphia A’s.

Aaron Bates of the Lancaster JetHawks becomes the first player in the 61-year history of the California League to hit four home runs in one game. Amazingly, his teammate Brad Correll will match the feat just 35 days later.

Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets, becomes a huge recording studio as Sesame Street’s Bob McGrath along with a chorus of 15,000 school children sing an uplifting song to Ronald Sterling, a seven year-old with the immune deficiency disorder Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome.

Jesse Litsch sets a new Toronto Blue Jays record for the longest appearance in a debut, going 8 2/3 innings and allowing only one run on four hits.
