Ok, we'll see how long this takes, I give it about 5 minutes before someone chimes in with the right answer.

What happened 14 years ago today in baseball?

Kevin Slowey of the Twins won to go 8-8 on the season...on 8/8/8.

Total guess, but was that Mark Buehrle's perfect game?

While trying to find out the answer on the internet, I came across another historical baseball event 34 years ago today. Answer Fred's question first, then try mine on for size.

Brian

88...so I am guessing Hershiser broke the scoreless inning streak?

Ugh

Cubs first night game and Carlos Lee gets 100 RBI of season....1000 RBI of career

Damn Steve that was fast! I love numbers like that.

Steve - does your answer have something to do with da Cubs? :p

I was at a game in Wrigley almost 50 years ago that's a cool trivia question -

Should be easy to figure out given the venue - what pair of brothers combined for a shutout against the Dodgers? I believe it's the only time brothers combined for a shut out in MLB history.

Niekro

if not

Perry

if not

Forsch

if not I give up!

It was those big-boned Reuschel brothers, Rick and Paul.

lol...47 years ago...I thought of their 1977 Topps card when I posted....but still would have pput moy money on one of the others...good call!

My daughter was born 14 years ago today. Trust me, I was not thinking about baseball at the time.

My guess was two years and two months off. I looked it up to spell Armando Galarrega's name correctly.

And Jake Peavy lost to go 8-8 too.

Al, I must have missed that one. Shame on me because I'm a Peavy fan. Yeah, it was those big beefy Reushel brothers that tossed that shutout. I really didn't think of the significance of that game at the time. I was just happy to be at Wrigley.

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play??

First night game at Wrigley Gield that ended up as a rain out 8/08/88

But we know what you were thinking 9 mos before that :)
