Today in Phillies History by Broad and Pattison

Phillies' All-time Record for Today:
18 wins, 22 losses, and 0 ties (for a winning percentage of 45 percent)

It Happened Today in:
1914: The Phillies filed suit against officials from the Chicago Federal League club, asking the court to stop the Federals from interfering with their operations by attempting to sign its players.
1965: The Phils visit Houston and play the first game in the Astrodome, a 2-0 Phillies victory. Dick Allen hit the first home run in the Dome and Chris Short pitches a 4-hitter, striking out 11.
2002: Dave Hollins goes on the DL due to a severe reaction to a spider bite he got in Spring Training

Phillies Transactions on This Day:
1969: Traded Tony Giresi and John Sullivan to Baltimore for Vic Roznovsky
1994: Traded Kevin Foster to Chicago (NL) for Shawn Boskie
2000: Lost Anthony Schumaker on waivers to New York (NL)

Happy Birthday:
1863: Buster Hoover
1926: Lou Possehl
1944: Terry Harmon
1968: Cliff Brantley

1906 Jerry Donovan
