EPISODE SUMMARY
In 1938, in the first night game at Ebbets Field, Johnny Vander Meer pitched his second straight no-hitter. It had never been done before and hasn't been duplicated since.
In 2008, Tiger Woods hit a 12-foot birdie putt to force an 18-hole playoff the following day.
In 1976, a game at the Houston Astrodome was rained out.
In 2004, the Detroit Pistons beat the LA Lakers to win the NBA Championship and it led to the dismantling of the Los Angeles Lakers.
And several summer blockbusters with sports tie-ins debuted on this day in different years. In 1967, 'The Dirty Dozen' featuring Cleveland running back Jim Brown hit theaters. In 1979, Rocky II debuted. And in 1988, Bull Durham appeared on movie screens for the first time.

STEVE WHITE BIO
The host of 'This DiSH' is me, Steve White. I've spent most of my life behind a microphone. As a kid, I realized the power of the spoken word, hanging out with my dad while we talked to people around the world via ham radio. Later, I put that penchant for communication into practice and ventured into radio and TV. I've worked for a few television stations in North Carolina doing sports reporting and anchoring before transitioning to voiceover in 2015.
'This Day in Sports History' evolved from a lifetime of watching, listening to, and going to ballgames, reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles about my favorite teams and sports heroes. It's not only a labor of love but a voyage of discovery, finding those forgotten tidbits or fascinating things I never knew.
