Two days in sports history 1920 followed by notable feats
On 1920 Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman was hit in the head by a pitch from New York's Gari Mays, suffering a fractured skull and dying the next day, the only field fatality in major league history. In 1989 Tom Drees threw his third no hitter of the Vancouver Canadians in a 5 0 win over Las Vegas, first PCL year with three no hitters. In 1995 Haile Gebrselassie shortened Moses Kiptanui's 5000m record to 12 44 39 at Weltklasse Zurich.
