MLB transactions on this date in history

Yes, a bit late, but better than never, right?

* In 1999 the Indians signed Jhonny Peralta as a non-drafted free agent. That worked out for them, eh?

* In 1989 the Giants signed Rich Gossage. I'm still surprised to see he pitched until the 1994 players' strike. In '89 he pitched well for the Giants - 2.68 ERA in 43 2/3 innings - and was claimed off waivers by the Yankees in August. I wonder how many other Hall of Famers played for nine teams? Maybe I'll call the HOF tomorrow and ask.

* In 1964 the Mets sold Duke Snider to the Giants.

You know who gave me this info.
