1900 Umpire Hank O’Day forfeits the game to the Superbas when the Phillies stall the action in the bottom of the 11th inning, hoping the delay postpones the Baker Bowl contest due to darkness. Brooklyn had scored seven runs in the top of the frame to pull ahead in the slugfest, 20-13.
1944 Boston right-hander Jim Tobin holds the Phillies hitless in the shortened five-inning nightcap, blanking Philadelphia at Braves Field, 7-0. In April, 'Abba Dabba' threw a full-game no-hitter against Brooklyn.
1944 Charley Schantz wins when the Phillies blank Boston for 15 innings in the first game of a twin bill, matching the longest shutout in franchise history. Philadelphia right-fielder Ron Northey's homer in the top of the frame scores the game's only run in the 1-0 victory at Braves Field.
1959 At LA's Memorial Coliseum, Sandy Koufax, facing 39 batters, goes the distance to beat the Phillies, 6-2. The Dodger southpaw fans 16 Philadelphia batters to set a new record for strikeouts in a night game.
1962 Stan Musial surpasses Ty Cobb as MLB's all-time total base leader, collecting seven more with four hits in a doubleheader split against the Phillies. Stan the Man ties the Georgia Peach's mark of 5,863 with a home run in the opener, and he then breaks the record in the same frame with a single when the Cardinals send 11 batters to the plate en route to scoring six runs in their 7-3 victory at Connie Mack Stadium.
1982 The Phillies' Pete Rose moves past Hank Aaron into second place for career hits when he doubles off Redbird right-hander John Stuper for his 3,772nd hit. 'Charlie Hustle,' 419 hits shy of Ty Cobb's record, will surpass the Georgia Peach's total in 1985 with his 4,192nd hit, a single to left-center field at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium off San Diego's Eric Show.
2002 Luis Castillo, going 0-for-4, sees his 35-game hitting streak end from the on-deck circle when the Marlins cap off a four-run, ninth-inning rally to beat Detroit 5-4. The feat is the longest accomplished by a second baseman, a mark that Phillies' second-sacker Chase Utley will equal in 2006.
