Today in Baseball History:
- 1990 - Rickey Henderson of the Oakland Athletics becomes the American League’s all-time stolen base king. In swiping third base against the Toronto Blue Jays, Henderson steals his 893rd base to surpass the long-standing record set by Ty Cobb.
- 2000 - Oakland Athletics second baseman Randy Velarde turns an unassisted triple play, just the 11th in major league history, on a line drive hit by Shane Spencer of the New York Yankees. With runners on first and second base running with the pitch, Velarde tags Jorge Posada as he nears second base, then touches the base to retire Tino Martinez. In 1995 spring training, while with the Yankees, Velarde turned an unassisted triple play against the Dodgers.

- This was impressive...
The @CalLeague1 record for most HR in a game is 11 - we've combined to hit 10 with the @ModestoNuts so far in the bottom of the 8th inning.

- Thoughts?
A's have scored just 12 runs in 64 innings this home stand. Khris Davis effect?
