Tuesday, June 3rd

IN THE NEWS: Oakland makes it close when Dave Revering, Mitchell Page, and Tony Armas all homer in the 9th inning against Cleveland, but the Indians hold on for a 6–4 win.

Lefty Ken Dayley (Braves) is the 3rd pick, pitcher Mike King (A's) 4th, Jeff Pyburn (Padres) 5th, and Darnell Coles (M's) 6th. The Reds pick Danny Tartabull on the 3rd round and Eric Davis on the 8th. On the 16th round, the Twins take Jim Eisenreich while the Red Sox pick Oil Can Boyd.

Wednesday, June 4th

IN THE NEWS: The Yankees, with no picks in rounds one and two, select 18-year-old Billy Cannon Jr. with their 3rd round pick. After protests from at least two other teams, Bowie Kuhn rules that all the teams but the Yankees had been misled by a telegram sent by Bill Cannon, Sr, saying his son was going to play football. A special draft (excluding the Yanks) in August is won by the Indians, but Cannon elects to play football at Texas A&M. Following in the footsteps of his Heisman dad, Cannon will be the number one pick of the Cowboys in 1984, but a neck injury curtails his career.

IN THE NEWS: Minnesota's Geoff Zahn one-hits the Blue Jays 5–0, allowing only a John Mayberry single with two out in the 7th.

Cardinals manager Ken Boyer is fired between games of a doubleheader loss to the Expos; he will be replaced the following day by Whitey Herzog, who led the Kansas City Royals to three consecutive American League West titles from 1976-78. St. Louis has the worst record in the major leagues (18-34).

On "Welcome back, Bambi" Night in Milwaukee, the Brewers give their manager George Bamberger an 8–4 win over the Tigers. Bamberger suffered a heart attack in spring training and coach Buck Rodgers managed the team for the first 46 games. Bambi will retire on September 7th and Rodgers will again take over. Milwaukee is in 2nd place, three 1/2 games in back of New York.

Friday, June 20th

IN THE NEWS: Leonard Smith, the man who killed Angels outfielder Lyman Bostock with a shotgun blast on September 23, 1978, but was later acquitted of the crime by reason of insanity, is released from Logansport State Hospital and allowed to return to his home in Gary, IN, because psychiatrists say he is no longer mentally ill.

5 foot four inch Fred Patek, one of the smallest players of his era, hits three home runs and a double in California's 20–2 rout of the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Patek will end the year with five homers.

White Sox reliever Ed Farmer swears he will take criminal action against Detroit's Al Cowens following an on-field brawl in Chicago. Cowens hit a grounder to SS, and then charged the mound instead of running to 1B. The action stemmed from an incident a year earlier when a Farmer pitch shattered Cowens' jaw. American League prexy Lee MacPhail will suspend Cowens for seven games. The Tigers win 5–3 in 11 innings.
