"2021 - Houston remains alive in the World Series with a 9 - 5 defeat of Atlanta in Game 5. The Braves take an early lead on Adam Duvall's 1st-inning grand slam off Framber Valdez, but the Astros come back twice, tying the game at 4 - 4 and 5 - 5, the latter on a bases-loaded walk to Martin Maldonado just before pinch-hitter Marwin Gonzalez hits a two-run single off A.J. Minter that gives the Astros the lead for good in the 5th."
"2010 - In Game 4 of the World Series, the Giants beat the Rangers, 4 - 0. San Francisco has the first starting all-rookie battery in a World Series game since Yogi Berra and Spec Shea in 1947 and both youngsters do well: Buster Posey homers while Madison Bumgarner tosses eight shutout innings of three-hit ball. The Giants become the first team since the 1966 Orioles to throw two shutouts in a Series."
"1973 - Tom Seaver of the New York Mets wins the National League Cy Young Award, the first time the honor has gone to a pitcher with fewer than 20 victories. Seaver finished 19-10 and led the league in ERA (2.08) and strikeouts (251). 2022 - Albert Pujols officially signs his retirement papers, bringing to an end a remarkable 22-season career that saw him collect over 3,000 hits, 700 homers and 2,000 RBIs. His next stop will almost certainly be in Cooperstown, NY when he becomes eligible for the Hall of Fame in five years' time."
The San Francisco Giants acquired veteran shortstop Alvin Dark from the Milwaukee Braves in 1960 and signed him to a two-year contract as team manager, sending infielder Andre Rodgers to the Braves as compensation. Tom Seaver won the 1973 National League Cy Young Award with a 19-10 record while leading the league in ERA (2.08) and strikeouts (251), becoming the first Cy Young winner with fewer than 20 victories. In 2010 the Giants won Game 4 of the World Series 4-0 behind an all-rookie starting battery and Madison Bumgarner's eight shutout innings. In 2021 the Astros rallied twice to beat the Braves 9-5 in Game 5. Albert Pujols signed retirement papers in 2022 after a 22-season career with over 3,000 hits, 700 homers and 2,000 RBIs and will be Hall of Fame eligible in five years.
