The Daily Strip

This Day in the Old Ball Game

Every date on the calendar hides a handful of baseball stories — a debut, a duster, a called shot, a heartbreak. We draw them into one strip, every single morning.

This Day in the Old Ball Game comic strip for July 21: four panels depicting the first meeting of two 300-game winners as Tim Keefe's Phillies beat Pud Galvin's St. Louis Browns 2 to 0 in Philadelphia in 1892, fifteen men inducted into the Hall of Fame in a single Cooperstown afternoon with the combined 1946 and 1947 classes including Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove, Frankie Frisch, and Carl Hubbell in 1947, Pumpsie Green entering at Comiskey Park to make the Red Sox the last of sixteen clubs to integrate in 1959, and Padres manager Preston Gomez pinch-hitting Cito Gaston for Clay Kirby's no-hit bid in the eighth on the way to a 3 to 0 loss to the Mets in 1970.

Two Immortals, One Afternoon

Two old arms finally cross paths, a small village fills up with bronze, a door swings open twelve years late, and a manager plays for a win he never gets.
