OTD in 1981… #Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton became the first left-hander to record 3000 strikeouts. Lefty will finish his Hall of Fame career with 4136 Ks #CardArt

Born on this day in 1964… Barry Larkin was an All American at #Michigan before launching his 19 year #HallOfFame career with his hometown Cincinnati #Reds #CardArt #GoBlue

OTD in 1959… Sadaharu Oh hits the 1st HR of his Nippon Pro Baseball career. He will go on to hit 867 more during his 22 year career in Japan, setting a record for the most documented home runs in professional baseball history #CardArt

OTD in 1976… Chicago #Cubs centerfielder Rick Monday rescues an American flag from two spectators who try to set it on fire in the outfield of Dodger Stadium #CardArt

OTD in 1970… #Pirates slugger Willie Stargell homers over Forbes Field’s right field roof. This is the seventh time he has done it in his career (and the second time this week) #CardArt

Rainy day, but I am checking off Minnesota’s Target Field from my personal list of MLB ballparks visited. 36th in total. @whitesox at @twins

OTD in 1957… Ten years after Jackie Robinson broke MLBs color barrier, former negro leaguer John Kennedy becomes the #Phillies first black player. He entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch runner against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Philadelphia was the last NL team to integrate. Kennedy only played in five games with two-plate appearances before returning to the minors with a shoulder injury. He never returned to the big leagues and retired from baseball three years later.

OTD in 1966… the Chicago #Cubs make one of the best trades in baseball history, acquiring future Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cubs gave up pitchers Bob Buhl and Larry Jackson for Fergie, outfielder Adolfo Phillips, and first baseman John Herrnstein. Jenkins would go on to win 20+ games in 8 different seasons and retire with 284 MLB victories #CardArt

OTD in 1944… Captain Elmer Gedeon becomes the first Major League Baseball player to lose his life serving in World War II when his B-26 is shot down over St. Pol, France. The 27-year-old played as an outfielder for the Washington Senators in 1939 after playing NCAA baseball, football and track at Michigan #GoBlue #CardArt
