Today in Baseball History:
- 1923 — Against the Browns, Babe Ruth again bats righthanded. After the Babe hits his 26th and 27th home runs off Ray Kolp, relief P Elam Vangilder takes no chances with Ruth and walks him intentionally in the 11th and again in the 13th inning. Ruth bats righty against Vangilder. Bob Meusel’s single wins the game, 9 - 8.
- 1992 — Oakland A’s outfielder Jose Canseco is walked for the seventh consecutive time in the span of two games to tie a major league record.

Sure, it has some detractors. But these are great fans. And there are drums. And moustaches. And joy!
They play baseball here. I love it. pic.twitter.com/ENISRzRiVC
- A sigh of relief for the A’s young catcher...
Official word on Sean Murphy's knee injury: No new tearing of the meniscus. He has to deal with swelling and pain but will rehab in AZ and could play again this month if those abate quickly. He won't need surgery. #Athletics
