15 years ago, and it seems yesterday.

 

Classic.

A "This Date in Red Sox History" thread could be interesting.

 

So here goes: 112 years ago Jesse Tannehill pitched a no-hitter against the White Sox.

 

Now tomorrow is a bad anniversary: 49 years ago Thursday, Tony C. was beaned.

1. Me neither

 

2. If you remember what a dumpster fire the end of that season was ... I wanted the perfect game. (indeed there would plenty of time to register the key wins over the Yankees)

I like that idea! I'm going to change the thread title to that.

August 18, 2004: Tim Wakefield got the win vs Toronto going 8 IP allowing just 2 ERs.

 

August 19, 1921: Ty Cobb collects his 3,000th hit vs the Sox.

 

2005: Sox release Mark Bellhorn.

2005: Sox release Mark Bellhorn.

 

I vaguely recall celebrating that.

His stock fell so fast, one year he was a hero of the 2004 ALCS, the next, he was on the scrap heap and finished the year WITH the Yankees. Weird times...

He had a career year for the Sox in '04.

The Sox got him at just the right time.

I also remember Francona getting destroyed by the fans for continuing to play Bellhorn after his horrible ALDS. The sox probably wouldn't have beat the Yankees that year without Bellhorn.

By the way, smart move to make a new account so you can start a thread without the fear of any black marks against your other account.

As I posted above, August 18, 1967 - Tony C. Was beaned by Jack Hamilton of the Angels.

 

Hard to believe it was that long ago. He was only 22 years old and already had hit over 100 homers.

I remember this like it was last week. My Aunt had given me a Panasonic AM radio for my birthday and I was listening to the game while in bed.

 

What a shame.

The beginning of our rivalry with the Rays.

August 29, 1977 - Jim Rice hit 3 home runs against Oakland in an 8-7 loss at Fenway

August 29, 1983 - Jim Rice hit 3 home runs at Toronto as the Red Sox won the second game of a double header 8-7.

 

Those were the only 3 homer games of Rice's career
