1897 — Cap Anson closed a remarkable 27-year career, which started in the National Association in 1871. 1936 — The New York Yankees beat the New York Giants 2-1 to take 2-1 lead in the World Series. Lou Gehrig homered off Freddie Fitzsimmons in the second inning to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
Shohei Ohtani went 1 for 4 and fell short in his bid to become the National League’s first Triple Crown winner since 1937, and stole his 59th base to help the Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Sunday in Charlie Blackmon’s final game. Ohtani finished the regular season leading the NL in homers (54) and RBIs (130). The charter member of the 50-50 club, Ohtani swiped his 59th base during the eighth-inning rally.
