July 1, 1910, White Sox Park opens in Chicago to a crowd of 24,000, 1,100 less than capacity. The White Sox lose to the St. Louis Browns, 2-0. The $750,000 ballpark, later renamed Comiskey Park after team owner Charlie Comiskey, will close in the fall of 1990 to be replaced by a new structure known as New Comiskey Park.

Three no-hitter stories on the same date: Walter Johnson throws one in 1920 — but loses it in the 9th when his own second baseman commits an error. Bob Feller throws his third career no-hitter in 1951. And Andy Hawkins throws a complete no-hitter in 1990 — and still loses 4-0 when his outfielders drop two fly balls. Also: Whitey Ford's MLB debut, Hank Greenberg's dramatic return from WWII, 12 classic broadcasts, and today's Vintage Commercial: Colgate Tooth Powder.
