On July 21, 1988 — Red Sox veteran Jim Rice is suspended for three games by the club for shoving manager Joe Morgan. Rice was angered when Morgan replaced him with the light-hitting shortstop Spike Owen in the 8th inning of Boston’s eventual 9 – 7 win over Minnesota.

A judge will decide at a one-day trial on August 4th whether the team is the sole property of Frank McCourt, as he claims, or community property of the former couple, as his wife pretends.
