The official first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony for the Major League Baseball All-Stars Forever stamps takes place at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY. The very popular philatelic series based on historic photographs honors Yankee Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby of the Indians, Willie Stargell of the Pirates, and Red Sox legend Ted Williams.

The Marlins collect a season-best 20 hits in defeating Arizona, 12 – 3. They tie a club record with 9 runs in the 4th inning, when they roll out half of their hits. Giancarlo Stanton hits a pair of homers for the Fish, and Jose Reyes and John Buck have four hits each. Reyes’ hits includes 3 doubles, while Buck homers, as does Justin Ruggiano, for a team that has struggled finding its offense all season. Mark Buehrle gets the win over Joe Saunders.
