Today in Baseball History:
- 1966 - Commissioner William Eckert voids the contract recently signed by collegiate star Tom Seaver. The Atlanta Braves had signed Seaver to a $50,000 bonus a week earlier, but Eckert cites a rule prohibiting teams from signing players while their college seasons are ongoing. A special draft will be held after the collegiate season to reassign Seaver’s rights.
- 1973 - Eddie Bane of Arizona State University pitches a 9 - 0 perfect game against Cal State Northridge. Bane will rack up a record of 41-4 in college. He will eventually reach the major leagues with the Minnesota Twins, but will win only seven games in three seasons.

Get well soon Susan. And a warm welcome to Mr. Kawahara, who already has a couple articles posted in today’s Rumblings...
It’s @matthewkawahara for us! Also I’m going to be on the IL for awhile, Will. Broke my ankle playing hockey last night. No I’m not joking.
