Keith Foulke (9-1, 2.08) signs a three-year, $21 million contract with Red Sox.

On ,December 13 2003 — Keith Foulke (9-1, 2.08) signs a three-year, $21 million contract with Red Sox. The 31-year-old All-Star closer had a league-leading 43 saves in 48 chances for Oakland last season.

Foulke will have a fantastic 2004 Season saving 32 games with a 2.17 ERA in 71 appearances. In the playoffs, he pitched in 11 games, and over 14 innings he gave up 1 run, a solo homerun to Larry Walker, during game 3 of the World Series a 4-1 Red sox win. As great as so many Red sox were during the 2004 Playoff season, Foulke could be considered the MVP of all 3 series. He was the rock at the end of every game never failing. It came at a price as he has never the same pitcher after 2004.

1940 – Sam Chapman is 5 for 5, including a grand slam, to lead the Browns to a win over the A’s.

June 26, 1940

In a late-developing barn burner between bottom feeders, the last place Bucs waste one of the longest home runs of Ralph Kiner’s career by blowing a 9th-inning lead to the next-to-last Reds, giving up 6 runs in the top of the frame. However, displaying great resilience, they come all the way back, scoring six and winning, 10 – 9, as Clyde McCullough lines one off pitcher John Hetki to score Wally Westlake with the game-ending tally. The Post-Gazette’s Jack Hernon recalls fondly the game’s initial eight innings: “It was a good game to watch for eight innings as Ralph Kiner gave Bill Werle a 4 – 2 lead over Ewell Blackwell with a two-run homer in the 5th inning. The ball left the field slightly to the left of the light tower near dead center field and carried far into Schenley Park. It was one of Kiner’s longest homers.” Researcher Bill Jenkinson places it at 480 feet.

8/31/1993 – In the bottom of the first inning, the Rockies reversed the third and fourth hitters in the lineup. Andres Galarraga batted instead of Dante Bichette and grounded out to end the inning. Bichette then led off the second with an infield single and eventually scored the first Rockies run. The Expos did not protest and eventually won the game 14-3. Bichette had four hits in four at bats in the game while Galarraga went zero for four.
