| 1939 | American League President Will Harridge overturns umpire Cal Hubbard's decision to award the Yankees a 9-0 forfeited victory over the Red Sox, ordering the contest replayed from the seventh inning. The Red Sox fans, protesting the deliberate outs New York was making to take advantage of the 6:30 Sunday curfew, had thrown a barrage of garbage onto the playing field, making it impossible to continue the Fenway Park contest. |
| 1957 | In his first at-bat in 17 days, Ted Williams homers off KC's Tom Morgan, pinch-hitting in the eighth inning of the Red Sox' 9-8 victory at Fenway Park. Boston's 'Splendid Splinter' had been sidelined with pneumonia since September. |
| 1998 | The Braves become the first team since the 1915 Red Sox to have five pitchers win 15 or more games in the same season. Joining Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Kevin Millwood, southpaw Denny Neagle becomes the latest Atlanta hurler to accomplish the feat when he scatters six hits over six innings in a 1-0 victory over Arizona. |
| 2006 | The Red Sox sweep a doubleheader from the Yankees in New York for the first time in thirty years. Boston had not beaten their arch-rivals twice in one day since July 31, 1976, and Independence Day of 1973 was the last time they accomplished the feat at Yankee Stadium. |
