1951 – National League president Ford Frick suspends the Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Ralph Kiner and coach Bill Posedel for three days and fines them $100 for “pushing and shoving” umpire Jocko Conlan during a game against the Chicago Cubs.

1969 – Pittsburgh’s Willie Stargell hits a pitch from New York’s Tom Seaver over the right-field roof at Forbes Field in the fourth inning, but the Mets go on to an 11-6 victory.

1976 – Tim McCarver of the Philadelphia Phillies hits a grand slam in the second inning of the first game of a doubleheader at Pittsburgh. The 375-foot homer comes off Larry Demery.
