On this day in baseball, June 29 [View all]

In 1897, the Chicago Colts (later the Chicago Cubs), defeat the Louisville Colonels 36-7, a still-standing record for most runs scored by one team in an MLB game.

In 1941, Joe DiMaggio breaks the then 41-game hitting streak set by George Sisler.

In 1990, two pitchers (Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela) throw no-hitters on the same day for the first time since Hippo Vaughn and Fred Toney did it back in 1917.
