1950 - The Gillette Safety Razor Co. signs a six-year deal, worth an estimated $6 million, with Major League Baseball for the TV-radio rights for the World Series.

1996 - Less than three weeks after major league owners voted 18-12 against ratification of baseball's new collective bargaining agreement, owners vote again and this time approve it by a vote of 26-4. The landmark agreement brings interleague play to the regular season for the first time, as well as revenue sharing among owners and a payroll tax on players.

1999 - Arbitrator Alan Symonette rejects the owners' attempt to dismiss the umpires' grievance, giving the 22 umps booted as a result of last season's disastrous mass resignation strategy a chance to get their jobs back. Symonette will hear the grievance beginning December 13th.
