Boston’s backstop Scott Hatteberg hits into a triple play, but the catcher redeems himself in his next at-bat by hitting a grand slam

August 6, 2001

San Diego minor leaguer Ted Williams, pinch-hitting for the pitcher in the seventh inning in a game against the Angels, gets his first professional hit, a long single off the right-field fence at LA’s Wrigley Field off Glen Babler. The 17 year-old Padres player stays in the PCL contest to replace the hurler he batted for, retiring the side in order, but will be removed from the mound in the next frame when he gives up two home runs.

July 3, 1936

The Yankees defeat the Angels, 7 – 5, as Roger Clemens becomes the first American League hurler to go 17-1 to begin a season. OF Paul O’Neill hits his 20th home run of the year, making him the oldest player in history – at age 38 – to reach the 20 home run and 20 stolen base mark in a season.
