This Day in Braves History: Cubs' Ryan Dempster rejects trade to Atlanta
Briefly

Bill Nicholson homers four times in a doubleheader for the Cubs against the Giants. Nicholson has six home runs in a 48-hour span, including hitting three consecutive homers in Game 2 but being intentionally walked with bases loaded in the seventh.
Reggie Jackson saga in 1978 continues as the Yankees win a game 3-1 over the White Sox. Manager Billy Martin, when asked about Jackson and owner George Steinbrenner, replies disdainfully, hinting at their troubled relationship that eventually leads to Martin's firing the next day.
Oddibe McDowell makes history for the Rangers in 1985 by hitting for the cycle and going 5-for-5 in a game against Cleveland, becoming the first Texas player to achieve this feat.
Significant events like trades, hitting streaks, umpire mishaps, Hall of Fame inductions, and retirements from 1915 to 1995 shape the Braves franchise's rich history.
