On This Day: August 22

1926
After three games with the Detroit Tigers are rained out at home, Connie Mack and Tom Shibe get a court injunction and the Athletics play the first Sunday game ever seen in Philadelphia. A light rain holds the crowd to 10,000 while Lefty Grove defeats the White Sox 3-2. However, a court later rules that Sunday baseball is still illegal, and it will be 1934 before the law changes in Philadelphia.
