Other itmes noted in the link above having their anniversary today: Sox sign Jermaine Dye, Marge Schott apologizes, Atlanta makes maybe the greatest free agent signing in MLB history, the Yankees trade Fred McGriff and Mike Morgan in one transaction, Philly trades Julio Franco to the Indians, Pittsburgh trades Bert Blyleven to the Indians, the Cubs trade Bruce Sutter to the Cardinals, Detroit trades Ben Oglivie to Milwaukee, Cincy trades Frank Robinson to Baltimore for fan outrage to be named later, the White Sox trade one of their five future All-Stars away in the 1959-60 off-season, Branch Rickey dies, and Bob Feller enlists.
Possibly something related to the hidden cross-ownerships among teams in that era. Specifically, perhaps, that the Cubs' Murphy had a significant holding in Phillies stock, along with his patron Charles Taft, half-brother of the president. See Harold Seymour, "Baseball: The Golden Age," pp. 31-32.
