1946: A big goose-egg for “Rapid Robert.” Cleveland’s Bob Feller tossed a 1-0 no-hitter against the Yankees. It was the second no-no in Feller’s career.
1961: A home run barrage by “The Say Hey Kid.” San Francisco’s Willie Mays clubbed four home runs in one game. That helped the Giants decimate the Milwaukee Braves 14-4.
1971: The newbies got the title. Milwaukee downed Baltimore 118-106 in game four to sweep the Bullets and win the NBA championship in just their third year of existence. Oscar Robertson led the Bucks with 30 points.
