O.J. Lewis6/22 Sports History: Darryl Kile passed away
June 22nd 2011 12:57
2002 Darryl Kile is found dead in his hotel room before a Route 66 rivalry game. The Cardinals pitcher's tragic death still brings a tear to my eyes today.
1926 Grover Cleveland Alexander was picked off of waivers by the Cardinals from the Cubs. The pitcher was 39 at the time.
1930 Lou Gehrig smashes three homers in a game.
1946 Bill Veeck buys the Cleveland Indians.
1958 A game in Kansas City is delayed for 29 minutes because of a tornado. The A's beat the Red Sox in that game 2-1 on their home turf.
1959 Sandy Koufax whiffs 16 hitters on the Phillies.
1982 Pete Rose moves into 2nd place on the all-time list with another hit.
1983 The NHL adds a five minute overtime.
1984 Carl Pohlad is the new CEO of the Minnesota Twins.
1987 Tom Seaver retires.
1990 General Manager Bobby Cox is named the manager of the Atlanta Braves. We can safely say that his reign in Atlanta wasn't bad at all. Russ Nixon was the man who lost his job as manager.
1991 The Quebec Nordiques selected Eric Lindros with the first pick in the NHL Draft. Lindros also had a great career.
1993 Anthony Young went winless in 27 starts, but he actually pitched okay during that span.
1994 The Rockets beat the Knicks in 7 games to win the NBA Finals.
1997 Ernie Els won the Buick Classic.
Happy birthday to Carl Hubbell, Pete Maravich, Clyde Drexler, Kurt Warner, Champ Bailey, Brad Hawpe, and Ian Kinsler. That's a nice list right there.
