1937 Chicago Cubs first baseman Rip Collins played an entire game without a putout or an assist.
1941 In a doubleheader against the Washington Senators, New York's Joe DiMaggio tied and then broke the AL record of hitting safely in 41 consecutive games. DiMaggio doubled in four at-bats in the opener and singled in five at-bats in the nightcap to break the record set by George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns in 1922.
1968 Detroit's Jim Northrup hit his third grand slam in a week as the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2.
