Elroy Face ties Senators’ legend Walter Johnson’s major league mark for appearances with one team when he enters a game for the 802nd time for the Pirates, replacing Steve Blass, who remains in the contest in left field.

Steve Blass gets the first out against the Braves, and then moves to LF as Roy Face relieves.

1965 – Frank Thomas drills two home runs and drives in five during a doubleheader sweep of the Mets, 4-3 and 3-2. He is then traded to Milwaukee for a minor leaguer.

But all of Gotham buzzes instead about the sudden retirement of 75-year-old Met skipper Casey Stengel.
