In 1938, Wayne LeMaster was the losing pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. He completed…no…at-bats. He started the game, pitched three times, all balls, to Stan Hack, the first batter. LeMaster developed arm trouble and left the game. Hack walked and scored the first run to give the Cubs a lead they never relinquished. The walk, and therefore the loss, was charged to LeMaster. In the sixth inning, Harold Kelleher set a National League record as the pitcher who faced the most batters in one inning. Sixteen batters led to 12 runs. The Cubs beat the Phillies, 21-2.

In 1941, According to the Tonight Show, commercial television was introduced; the next day, someone said “thereʹs nothing on!”

In 1952, “I Love Lucy” Fittingly, the show is pure Lucy — sidekick Ethel (Vivian Vance) doesnʹt even have a cameo. Try to say it out loud: Vitameatavegamin. Thatʹs the name of the product Lucy is hawking for a TVshow Ricky is hosting. In the classic “Lucy Does a TV Commercial,” Ballʹs talent for physical comedy is at its most vibrant and resourceful. Using her usual treachery to get the job, Lucy begins to run through her spot for the director (Ross Elliot). As the Vitameatavegamin Girl on a TV variety show, Lucy Ricardo is supposed to “spoon her way to health,” but instead gets totally snockered on the health elixir sheʹs promoting. The rest of the commercial doesnʹt exactly dance off the tongue, either: “Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular?” Now imagine saying all that while drunk. Because in addition to containing vitamins and nutrients, Vitameatavegamin packs a 46-proof punch. Still, Lucy, hapless, hopeless Lucy, nails the commercial — until she tastes the product. The revolted face she makes is priceless (made only more so by the line she has to deliver: “So tasty, too! Just like candy!”). Now the director wants her to try it again. Swig. Once more. Swig. The hiccups start; Lucy gets pie-eyed. By the fifth run-through, she has forgotten her lines. In the sixth the malaprops flow (“Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?”), as does the mangling of the product name (“Mita-meata-megamin”; “Mita-vata-meaty-mac”). After mangling the productʹs name in every imaginable way, Lucy finally resorts to calling it “this stuff.” By any name, this heady concoction continues to make “happy, peppy people” of us all. Lucy is totally smashed. But oddly enough, the nasty elixir is now delicious. There are countless reasons to love Lucy, televisionʹs greatest physical comic, but none greater than this. From the first spoonful she squeamishly swallows to her early, slightly sloshed queries — “Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?” — to her final drunken swig right out of the “bittle lottle,” Ball builds the mirth to a riotous climax.

Or does he? “Itʹs a pity you canʹt take the fun side of him and leave the work side at home,” ponders Samanthaʹs prankish, Pucci-clad mother, Endora, who promptly splits her son-in-law in two. In an athletic double performance by York, Darrinʹs hedonistic half becomes a Watusi-ing mass of irresponsibility, while his workaholic half is so all-business he nearly runs client Sanford Stern (Frank Maxwell) and boss Larry Tate (David White) into the ground. “Divided He Falls” was so delicious that when Dick Sergeant replaced York on the show in 1969, the first episode he filmed was a remake of this one.

(Series creator Don Bellisario and star Scott Bakula both say this bartender represents God.) Beckettʹs final leap isnʹt home but into the Vietnam era, where he lets his buddy Alʹs first wife Beth know heʹs not “Missing In Action,” thus saving Alʹs marriage, which may have endangered his own cosmic existence as the closing frames reveal: “(Beth) and Al have four daughters and will celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary in June. Doctor Sam Beckett never returned home.” (Had the network renewed the series, viewers would have seen an alternative ending.)

In 1994, In the Frasier episode “Author, Author” An essential chapter in defining the brothers as fellow psychiatrists who could use therapy.

Shedding their stuffed shirts for undershirts, they call each other names (“Fat face!” “Spindly!”) and wrestle like children.

In 1994, Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism, a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton, who considered the punishment too harsh. “Weird Al” Yankovic sang a verse of that in Headline News.

In 1997, The first Fox series and at that time the oldest sitcom “Married With Children” broadcasted what was believed to be the final first-run show after a 11 season run (actually ten years and one month).

In 2002, the FX network aired the lost episode that Fox never aired involving Al and Peg making love in a courtroom.

In 1998, Today in Late Show w/ Letterman History: In honor of the upcoming Tony Awards, the LATE SHOW presents its own tribute to Broadway — its very own mini musical production called “Homecoming.” Featuring the song “Jimmyʹs Coming Home,” written by the LATE SHOW writers with music by Paul Shaffer, the hilarious Broadway rip-off stars Broadwayʹs Marc Kudish and Leigh Zimmerman.
