Today in Baseball History:
- 1927 - At Shibe Park, the St. Louis Browns outhit the Philadelphia Athletics, 18 to 14, but lose, 11 - 9. Both starters, Rube Walberg and Milt Gaston, are knocked out in the 3rd inning, but when Gaston is lifted he bypasses to dugout and leaps into the stands to punch a spectator who has been riding him. The police escort Gaston from the field. Ty Cobb has three runs and a stolen base for the Athletics, while George Sisler has three steals and is 4 for 4 for the Browns.
- 1966 - The New York Mets, picking first in the June free-agent draft, pass up Arizona State outfielder Reggie Jackson to select catcher Steve Chilcott. Chilcott will retire after six years in the minors and will be the first number-one pick to never play in the major leagues. The Kansas City Athletics take Jackson with the second pick.

- Do you like interleague baseball?
We've got the Mets and Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball June 10. If MLB expands to 32 teams, with an equal number of teams in both leagues, would you like interleague to continue?
