Events

January

February

  • February 15 – A thirty-two-day lockout begins as Major League Baseball owners refuse to open spring training camp without reaching a new Basic Agreement with the players. The regular season is delayed one week due to the lock-out.
    • After spending the previous seasons with the California Angels and Kansas City Royals, Bill Buckner returns to the Boston Red Sox as a free agent. A combination of injuries and fans that wouldn't forgive him for his error that ultimately cost the Red Sox the 1986 World Series send Buckner into retirement mid way through the season.
  • February 17 - The New York Yankees sign free agent pitcher Mariano Rivera

March

  • March 16 – MLB commissioner Faye Vincent announces a new four-year agreement between 1990 and 1993 (CBA-7). The agreement may be reopened by either the players association or teams owners after three years, as well as the minimum salary is raised to $100,000 from $68,000. Besides, the pension/benefit plan contribution by the owners increases to an average of $55 million over the four years while the salary arbitration eligibility stays at three years, but the top 17% of two-year players by service time are also now eligible as free agents. Better known as Super Two, this eligibility represents about 15 players per year.
  • March 26 - Hoping to duplicate the success the New York Yankees had with Deon Sanders, the New York Mets sign Minnesota Vikings running back D.J. Dozier, who was also looking to become a two sport star. The Dozier experiment fails as he only plays 25 games at the major leagiue level.

April

  • April 3 - The Chicago White Sox release pitcher Jerry Reuss. Reuss would sign two weeks later with the Houston Astros.
  • April 9 - Glenn Davis of the Houston Astros reaches base three times after he's hit by a pitch. Davis is plucked by Reds pitchers Randy Myers, Rob Dibble, and Norm Charlton. And interaction with a Houston sports writer after the game Myers replies "We're Nasty Guys", was led to the Reds trio of relivers being called "The Nasty Boys"
  • April 10 - U.S. President George Bush throws out the first pitch at a game in Toronto, making him the first U.S. President to toss the first pitch in a foreign country.
  • April 11 – At Anaheim Stadium, California Angels pitchers Mark Langston (seven innings) and Mike Witt (two innings) combine to no-hit the Seattle Mariners, 1–0, for the first combined no-hitter in the major leagues since 1976. It is Langston's first start for the Angels since signing as a free agent in the off-season. Angels first baseman Wally Joyner makes an error in the fifth inning when he overthrows Langston on Pete O'Brien's grounder. O'Brien tries for second base‚ not realizing that catcher Lance Parrish backs up the play, and he is out.
  • April 14 - CBS officially assumes the role as Major League Baseball's network broadcast partner (succeeding both ABC and NBC under a four-year deal through the end of the 1993 season) with coverage of the Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh and Los Angeles at Houston.
    • For the first time in MLB history, two Cy Young Award winners contribute to the victory. Bret Saberhagen, gets the win, while the reigning CY Young Award winner, relief pitcher Mark Davis, picks up the save in the Royals win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
  • April 20 :
  • April 23 - During an in-season exhibition game against the cross-town rival Chicago Cubs, Steve Lyons of the Chicago White Sox plays all nine positions during the game. However, because it is an exhibition, Lyons is not officially credited with the feat.
  • April 26 – Nolan Ryan pitches a one-hitter and sets a Texas Rangers record with 16 strikeouts in a 1–0 win over the Chicago White Sox. It is also the 12th career one-hitter for Ryan, which ties him with Major League Baseball leader Bob Feller, as well as his 200th career game with at least 10 strikeouts. Ron Kittle of the White Sox had the only hit for Chicago, a single.
  • April 27 - The Milwaukee Brewers release First baseman Terry Francona.
  • April 29 - Opting to not be placed on the disabled list, Dan Quisenberry announces his retirement. He only appeared in five games for the Giants.
  • April 30 - In a game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves, Braves hitter Mark Lemke hits a ball that is fielded by Mets infielder Gregg Jeffries, who then tosses the ball to Mets pitcher David Cone. Lemke is ruled safe by first base umpire Charlie Williams. Cone mas a meltdown on the field, and begins to argue with Williams, thus allowing two Braves runners to score in the process.

October

  • October 3: A day for batting champions:
    • George Brett became the first player to win a batting title in three straight decades. Brett went 1-for-1 in a 5-2 Kansas City loss to Cleveland. Brett also won the AL batting titles in 1976 and 1980.
    • Willie McGee became the first player to win a batting title in a league he didn't finish. He was in Oakland when he won the title when Dave Magadan of the New York Mets failed to catch him on the season's final day.
  • October 20 – The talk of an Oakland Athletics dynasty is proven premature, as the Cincinnati Reds beat Oakland 2–1 to complete one of the most stunning sweeps in World Series history. Series MVP José Rijo (2–0, 0.59 ERA) retires 20 batters in a row, Randy Myers getting the last two outs to give the Reds their first World Championship since 1976. Not joining the celebration at the end is Eric Davis, who ruptures his kidney diving for a ball during the game and is taken to the hospital. It takes Davis several years to fully recover.
