1951 Jersey Joe Walcott, at 37, becomes the oldest fighter to win the world heavyweight title with a seventh-round knockout of Ezzard Charles at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.
1970 San Francisco s Willie Mays gets his 3,000th career hit, off Montreal s Mike Wegener in the second inning.
1975 The trial of Dave Forbes, the first pro athlete to be indicted for a crime committed during play, ends in a hung jury. Forbes, of the Boston Bruins, was indicted for excessive force used on an opponent. Forbes victim was Henry Boucha in a game on Jan. 4 against the North Stars at Minnesota. The prosecution decides not to seek a retrial.
1987 New York s Don Mattingly ties Dale Long s 31-year-old major league record when he homers for the eighth consecutive game in the Yankees 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers.
1993 Greg Norman shoots a 64 on the final day to set a record with a 13-under 267 that wins the British Open. Norman beats defending champion Nick Faldo by two strokes.
1995 Britain s Jonathan Edwards breaks the 10-year-old world triple jump record, leaping 59 feet in the Salamanca Provincial meet. Edwards tops the previous mark of 58-11 1/2 set in 1985 by Willie Banks of the United States.
