FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» May 20, 1880: Chicago captain Cap Anson begins using hurlers Larry Corcoran and Fred Goldsmith in alternating games, thereby establishing the first "pitching rotation" ever.

» May 27, 1880: Fred Goldsmith and Chicago shut out Buffalo on two hits. The 11–0 win extends the Whites' streak to 13 games, a new National League record.

» September 7, 1889: In the most controversial game in AA history, the Browns walk off the field in Brooklyn while leading 4–2 in the 9th inning. They claim it is too dark to play, but the lighted candles in front of their bench by owner Chris Von der Ahe make umpire Fred Goldsmith determined to finish the game no matter what. Several St. Louis players are hit with bottles as they leave the grounds.
