| 1995 On May 30, 1995, former major league outfielder Glenn Burke dies from AIDS at the age of 42. The first major leaguer to publicly acknowledge his homosexuality, Burke played four seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A's. He also popularized the "high five" greeting that many players used in congratulating teammates who had scored runs. |
| 1980 On May 30, 1980, longtime Detroit Tigers reliever John Hiller announces his retirement. The owner of 125 career saves, Hiller had made a dramatic return to the major leagues in 1972, just one year after suffering a heart attack. Hiller capped off the comeback by leading the American League with 38 saves in 1973. |
| 1967 On May 30, 1967, Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees announces his retirement. Plagued by a bone spur in his left elbow, the future Hall of Famer leaves the game with a record of 236-106. |
| 1962 On May 30, 1962, Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers belts home runs from each side of the plate. Wills becomes the seventh player to switch-hit homers in the same game. Wills will hit only 20 home runs during a 14-year career. |
| 1956 On May 30, 1956, Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees blasts one of the longest home runs in history. The slugger crushes a pitch by Washington's Pedro Ramos off the upper deck facade, 396 feet from home plate. Mantle comes within inches of becoming the first major leaguer to hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium. Some observers estimate that the ball would have traveled 600 feet if it had not hit the facade. |

| 1943 On May 30, 1943, the first games are played in the new All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The league, featuring women professional baseball players for the first time, is the brainchild of Chicago Cubs" owner Phil Wrigley, who seeks an entertaining product for wartime America. The league gives over 600 women athletes the opportunity to play a professional level of baseball never before attained. The League operated from 1943 to 1954. |
| 1927 On May 30, 1927, Chicago Cubs shortstop Jimmy Cooney turns an unassisted triple play against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cooney snares a line drive by Paul Waner, steps on second base to retire brother Lloyd Waner, and completes the triple play by tagging Clyde Barnhart, the runner at first. |
| 1922 On May 30, 1922, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals make a trade in-between games of their doubleheader. Chicago sends Max Flack to St. Louis for Cliff Heathcoate. In an interesting twist, both players will end up playing one game for each team, a major league first. |

Today in Baseball History: May 30th
Botan a mánager Que iba de líder
Juan Vené en la pelota
CORAL GABLES, Florida (VIP-WIRE).
"El colmo de un joyero es que lo sentencien a cadena perpetua"... La Pimpi.-
-o-o-o-o-
LA PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA...: Ésta ha sido una temporada de lucido pitcheo. Sin embargo, ha habido dos jonrones espectaculares. ¿Recuerdas cuáles fueron?
LA RESPUESTA...: A comienzos de la campaña, el leftfielder de los Angelinos, Mark Trumbo, y el primera base de los Cachorros, Anthony Rizzo, sacaron batazos de 475 pies cada uno.
PA-CIEN-CIA.- La tradición dice que los arrogantes Dodgers no despiden a su mánager durante una temporada. Eso parece indicar que en Los Ángeles tendrán que soportar a Don Mattingly hasta septiembre. En los últimos 111 años solamente han cambiado al jefe de campo en plena campaña una vez, cuando en 1998 salieron de Bill Russell para poner en el cargo a Glenn Hoffman... ¡Amancerá y veremos!...
AUNQUE UD. NO LO CREA.- En cambio, ¡muy extraño! ¡increíble! ¡poco usual!...: Que boten al mánager de un equipo que va en primer lugar. Pero tal parece que en el extraño mundo de los Broncos de Reynosa todo es posible. Según "Puro Beisbol", acaban de despedir a Mario Mendoza, quien montó y mantuvo al club en el liderato del Norte. ¿Motivos? Mario respaldó a sus peloteros en la reclamación de salarios retenidos. Pero, por supuesto, si también a él, al mánager, le debían sueldos. Igualmete es inaudito que un equipo en primer lugar no tenga dinero para pagarle ni a los jugadores. Por el bien del beisbol de todo el mundo, la directiva de la Liga Mexicana debe tomar serias medidas...
MATTINGLERÍAS.- El ambiente en el clubhouse y en el dugout de los Dodgers "es horrible", según me dijo ayer por teléfono desde Anaheim, donde están de visita, uno de los pelotetros. El mánager Don Mattingly continúa sentando a estelares como Matt Kemp, André Ethier y Carl Crawford...
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"El colmo del tacaño es llamarse Gastón"... Pacomio.-
-o-o-o-o-o-
MULTISÍSIMOS.- Las ciudades de Estados Unidos donde viven más (no millonarios, sino) multimillonarios...: Nueva York 58, San Francisco 18, Dallas 17, Los Angeles 16 y Houston 12...
INSUPERABLES.- El último pitcher ganador de 300 juegos en Grandes Ligas ha sido el zurdo Randy Johnson en 2009. Fue el cuarto que en siete años alcanzaron la marca. Los otros, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine y Roger Clemens. Ahora, C.C. Sabathia, quien ha ganado 195 veces, tendría que seguir con su promedio de 15.9 victorias por año, para llegar a la cifra a fines de 2019 o comienzos de 2020, es decir, cuando ese zurdo esté en sus 39 o 40 años de edad...
¡Himp!...
LOS MÁS, LOS MÁS.- Los activos con mayor cantidad de vitorias... Andy Pettitte (lesionado) 249, Roy Halladay (lesionado) 201, Tim Hudson 201, C.C. Sabathia 195, Derek Lowe 176, Mark Buehrle 176 y Bartolo Colón 176...
"Nunca vas a lograr todo cuanto quieres, pero tampoco es posible evitar todo lo que no deseas. Es el balance... Joseph Mckadew.-
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto, incluso un lector como tú...

Today in Baseball History: May 29th
| 1990 On May 29, 1990, Rickey Henderson of the Oakland A's becomes the American League's all-time stolen base king. In swiping third base against the Toronto Blue Jays, Henderson steals his 893rd base to surpass Ty Cobb's long-standing record |
| 1976 On May 29, 1976, Houston Astros pitcher Joe Niekro hits the only home run of his 22-year major league career. Strangely enough, Niekro reaches the seats against his brother, Phil, the ace of the Atlanta Braves. Joe Niekro's unexpected blast helps the Astros to a 4-3 win. |
| 1972 On May 29, 1972, former major leaguer Morris "Moe" Berg dies at the age of 70. In addition to playing 15 years in the big leagues, the talented Berg also gained distinction as an attorney, linguist, mathematician, and most curiously, as an American spy. |
| 1922 On May 29, 1922, the United States Supreme Court declares that baseball is primarily a sport and not a business. In using this argument, the court rules that baseball is not subject to anti-trust laws and standard interstate commerce regulations. |
| 1916 On May 29, 1916, future Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson pitches the New York Giants to their 17th consecutive victory, all on the road. Mathewson shuts out the Boston Braves, 3-0. In spite of their impressive winning streak, the Giants will finish second to the Boston Braves in the National League pennant race. |
| 1905 On May 29, 1905, Brooklyn Robins right-hander Elmer Stricklett throws a "mystery pitch" - believed to be a spitball - in a game against the New York Giants. Some historians regard the five-foot, six-inch Stricklett as the first pitcher to throw a spitball in a major league game. |
