1941 – Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hits a three-run, two-out homer in the ninth to give the AL a dramatic 7-5 victory in the All-Star game at Detroit’s Briggs Stadium. Up to that point Arky Vaughn of the Pittsburgh Pirates was the NL hero with two home runs, the first player to do so in All-Star play. Joe and Dom DiMaggio both played for the AL, marking the first time that brothers appeared in the same All-Star game.

1977 – A benches-clearing brawl erupts when Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bruce Kison hits Philadelphia’s Mike Schmidt with a pitch during a game at Three Rivers Stadium. Schmidt suffers a dislocated finger during the brawl and Pittsbrugh first baseman Willie Stargell a pinched nerve in his left elbow, which limits him to eight games for the rest of the season.

1991 – Carl Barger resigns as president of the Pittsburgh Pirates to take a similar position with the expansion Florida Marlins.

1995 – The Pittsburgh Penguins trade Larry Murphy to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Dmitri Moronov and Toronto’s second-round draft choice.
