Today in Baseball History:
- 1891 - Cincinnati’s American Association franchise folds and Milwaukee is chosen to take its place. The American Assocation’s problems continue, and the AA is absorbed by the National League in the winter.
- 1933 - Lou Gehrig plays his 1,308th consecutive game to break Everett Scott’s mark. He would play in the next 822 games as well.
Best of Twitter:
