Today in Baseball History:
- 1912 - Ty Cobb charges into the stands at Hilltop Park in New York and attacks a crippled heckler named Claude Lueker. Other fans and Tigers mix it up before order is restored. Ban Johnson suspends Cobb indefinitely for the incident.
- 1941 - Joe DiMaggio gets a single in four at bats against Eddie Smith of the Chicago White Sox to start his 56-game hitting streak. Joe D’s hit goes unnoticed as the Yankees lose, 13 - 1.
- 2014 - Johnny Cueto shuts out the Padres on three hits as the Reds win, 5 - 0. Cueto has now pitched at least 7 innings and given up 2 runs or less in all 9 of his starts this season; to find a pitcher with a longer such streak to start a year, one has to go all the way back to 1909 when Harry Krause did it for 10 games for the Philadelphia Athletics in the heart of the deadball era.

- Did you all feel it?
Not sure how big that quake was, lasted 5-8 seconds maybe.

- A triple too!
Dustin Fowler's first hit comes at Yankee Stadium and his first RBI comes at Fenway Park, just how everyone imagined it last year before his injury.

Who did it better? Ichiro or Hechavarria? https://t.co/DcarpyRmbW pic.twitter.com/lLGDLEmgfo
