On July 31 in Baseball History...

1897 - Brooklyn pitcher Brickyard Kennedy becomes so upset at umpire Hank O'Day that he throws the ball at him. The baseball misses O'Day, who has his back turned, allowing George Davis to score the winning run for the Giants.

1909 - For the second time in two years, Bill Burns has a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the ninth, when Washington's Otis Clymer singles. Burns and the White Sox win 1-0. Burns is the only pitcher to suffer this fate twice until Dave Stieb of Toronto does on September 24 and 30, 1988.

1930 - Lou Gehrig drove in eight runs with a grand slam and two doubles as the New York Yankees outlasted the Boston Red Sox 14-13.

1935 - Two American League pitchers, Wes Ferrell and Mel Harder, each hit two home runs in a game.

1954 - Joe Adcock hit four home runs and a double to lead the Milwaukee Braves to a 15-7 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Adcock's eighteen total bases is a new Major League record.

1961 - The All-Star Game ended in a 1-1 tie at Fenway Park as heavy rain halted play. It is the only tie in All-Star history.

But no trade is as shocking as the one pulled off by the Giants, who get Wilson Alvarez, Roberto Hernandez, and Danny Darwin for six minor leaguers.

1998 - The annual trading deadline results in several significant deals, but none is bigger than the last-second swap between Houston and Seattle. The Astros get Randy Johnson shortly before midnight in return for minor leaguers John Halama, Freddy Garcia and Carlos Guillen. Two days later, Johnson wins his Astros debut against Pittsburgh.
