Today's baseball history reveals that in 1932 the National League club presidents approved the wearing of numbers on players' uniforms.  The American League started wearing numbers in 1929.

John Franco, a relief pitcher for the Mets, received his 253 career save in 1994.  This broke the previous record for most saves by a left-hander set by Dave Righetti.

And in 1984, in a pre-game ceremony, Calvin Griffith and Thelma Haynes signed a letter of intent to sell their 52 percent ownership of the Minnesota Twins to Carl Pohlad for thirty-two million dollars.  Griffith and Haynes had been part of the Twins franchise since 1922.
