1938 The Cardinals deal a declining Dizzy Dean to Chicago for RHP Curt Davis, LHP Clyde Shoun, outfielder Tuck Stainback, and $185,000. During his four years in the Windy City, the future Hall of Fame right-hander will compile a 16-8 record for the Cubs.
1962 Philadelphia's Cal McLish and Bob Gibson of the Cardinals fail to finish an inning when each starter allows six runs to score in the first frame. Tossing 8⅓ innings of shutout ball, Ernie Broglio gets credit for the win when the Redbirds beat the Phillies in the Connie Mack Stadium contest, 12-6.

1978 Cardinal Bob Forsch, facing 29 batters, no-hits the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0, at Busch Stadium. Less than a year later, Bob's older brother, Astro's right-hander, Ken, throws a no-no against Atlanta, making them the first siblings to throw no-hitters in the big leagues.
1984 In his first three at-bats, A's Dave Kingman hits three home runs, including a grand slam, driving in eight runs against the Mariners in a 9-6 victory. 'Sky King' will compile five three-round-tripper games during his 16-year career, second only to Johnny Mize, who accomplished the feat six times from 1938 to 1950 while with the Cardinals and Yankees.
