July 4th has produced some great moments throughout Major League Baseball history. It started with Lou Gehrig’s retirement speech and subsequent jersey retirement of his #4. He would be the first player to ever have his number retired by a team. In 1980, Nolan Ryan recorded his 3,000th strikeout. In 1983, Dave Righetti tossed a no-hitter. Finally, the Braves and Mets battled out a classic NINETEEN inning game in 1985 that concluded on July 5th at 4am ET.
