Today in Baseball History: January 25th

1978
On January 25, 1978, the San Diego Padres acquire well-traveled pitcher Gaylord Perry from the Texas Rangers. The Padres surrender pitcher Dave Tomlin and $125,000 in cash. Perry will win 21 games for the Padres in 1978 and capture the Cy Young Award.

1970
On January 25, 1970, future Hall of Famer Phil Niekro is taken to a hospital to undergo an emergency appendectomy. In 1969, Niekro won 23 games for the Atlanta Braves and finished second in the National League's Cy Young voting. Perhaps as a result of the surgery, Niekro will fall off to 12-18 in 1970.

1966
On January 25, 1966, New York Yankees shortstop Tony Kubek announces his retirement due to a serious back problem. During a nine-year career, Kubek was named to three American League All-Star teams and played on seven Yankee pennant winners and three World Championship ballclubs.

1949
On January 25, 1949, the Cleveland Indians reward player-manager Lou Boudreau with a two-year contract. The future Hall of Famer guided the Indians to the World Championship in 1948.

1945
On January 25, 1945, Larry MacPhail, Dan Topping and Del Webb purchase the New York Yankees for $2.8 million from the heirs of previous owner Jacob Ruppert. The new owners announce that Ed Barrow will remain in place as general manager, but a month later they will install MacPhail as GM.

1943
On January 25, 1943, the Yankees sell future Hall of Famer Lefty Gomez to the rival Boston Red Sox. Gomez will never pitch in a game for the Red Sox, who decided to release the veteran southpaw. Gomez will eventually sign with the Washington Senators.
