Today in Baseball History:
- 1925 - In St. Louis, the Cardinals roll over Brooklyn, 15 - 3, behind Wee Willie Sherdel. In the 7th inning, the Red Birds rub it in with two steals of home, tying a major league record. It’s the last time it’s been done in the National League. Oakland will steal home twice in the 1st inning on May 28, 1980.
- 1972 - In a 15-inning contest with Chicago, the A’s set an extra-inning record by using 30 players, including six second basemen and 10 pinch-hitters. Together the two clubs use 51 players, another record. Oakland still loses, 8 - 7.

- Happy birthday to probably the best baseball writer of all time...
Happy 98th birthday to the incomparable Roger Angell, whose through line in baseball astonishes. He watched Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig hit home runs, and he'll likely be blogging this year's playoffs. "...we’re hanging on to this game of ours, knowing how lucky we are.” pic.twitter.com/1gCV4eI0fo
