On September 25, 1980 — Brian Kingman loses his 20th game when the Oakland A’s are defeated by the Chicago White Sox at the Oakland Coliseum, 6-4. The 26 year-old right-hander, who will win his next decision to finish the season with an 8-20 record, will become the last 20-game loser of this century, and the first to hurl for a winning team (Oakland will finish 83-79) since Dolf Luque posted a 13-23 mark for the 1922 second-place Reds.

5/2/1910 – The Cards were in Cincinnati for the make up of a postponed game. Due to an oversight, the NL did not assign umpires for the game, so a respected local one, Jim Maginnis, was recruited. There were some close calls in the first that upset St. Louis manager Reger Bresnahan, and he then made a farce out of the game with quite a few changes of fielding positions including moving pitchers into the field and having position players pitch. In the seventh Eddie Higgins who was in the number two spot was hit by a pitch and Bresnahan came of the bench to run for him and then stayed in the game at catcher replacing Billy Kelly who was in the number six spot. In the eighth Bresnahan batted in Kelly’s spot, but the proper batter was Jap Barbeau who went in to replace Higgens in left. Bresnahan was safe on an error, but the Reds did not notice the batting out of turn, so the play stood. The Reds won 9-4 after scoring five in the first, so it did not hurt them.
