This date in baseball highlights a milestone for the New York Mets and several turning points across MLB history. The Mets recorded their 4,000th win in franchise history, a landmark referenced in a retrospective of events spanning from the 1910s onward. Earlier, 1918 featured Babe Ruth having a home run reduced to a triple at Fenway Park under prevailing rules, with Amos Strunk scoring on Ruth’s hit in a 1-0 Cleveland win. In 1935, the American League extended its All-Star streak to three with a 4-1 victory at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The recap also includes major All-Star moments, including Ted Williams’ three-run homer in 1941 and John Valentin’s tenth unassisted triple play in 1994. The Mets’ milestone sits among these historic benchmarks.
