The Orioles and Brewers had been tied heading into the final game. Sutton defeats another future Hall of Famer, Jim Palmer…

1976
On October 3, 1976, Hank Aaron comes to bat for the final time. The Milwaukee Brewers' 42-year-old DH scratches out an infield single before leaving the game for a pinch-runner. Ironically, Aaron, who is in scoring position when he is removed from the game, needed one more run scored to break a tie with Babe Ruth for the most runs in baseball history.

1962
On October 3, 1962, the San Francisco Giants win the final game of their best-of-three playoff with the Los Angeles Dodgers to claim the National League pennant. Don Larsen, the hero of the 1956 World Series, wins a 6-4 decision in relief of Juan Marichal.

1951
On October 3, 1951, in one of the most dramatic moments in baseball history, Bobby Thomson of the New York Giants hits the "Shot Heard Round The World," a pennant-winning three-run home run against Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Giants entered the ninth inning of the National League playoff game trailing, 4-2, before Thomson connects with two on and one out.

1947
On October 3, 1947, Cookie Lavagetto of the Brooklyn Dodgers breaks up Bill Bevens' no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth, giving the "Bums" a dramatic and unlikely 3-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game Four of the World Series. The Yankees will eventually win the Series…

1920
On October 3, 1920, George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns collects his 257th and final hit of the season, setting a new major league record. Sisler also pitches a scoreless inning of relief.
