'The Lady in Black' made her debut, the 'asterisk' removed, and Jim Abbott no-hit Cleveland - This DiSH for Sept. 4

In 1950, NASCAR raced 500 miles for the first time. The Southern 500 wreaked havoc on tires and was a battle of attrition.

In 1993, New York Yankee Jim Abbott pitched a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians.

In 1972, U.S. swimmer Rick DeMont had his gold medal taken away.
