Only Jimmy Qualls stood between Tom Seaver and perfection #OTD in 1969, breaking up a no-hitter with two outs to go. Although Tom Terrific missed his bid for history, the Miracle @Mets run had just begun.

At 42 years old, Satchel Paige made his long-awaited American League debut on this date in 1948. But as Paige himself once said, “Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter.”

Even on a field full of stars, the Say Hey Kid was the brightest in the baseball galaxy. Willie Mays became the first two-time winner of the All-Star Game MVP Award #OTD in 1968.

Fourteen years ago today, @derekjeter etched his name in history as the first player to record 3,000 career hits in @Yankees pinstripes and the second to reach the feat with a home run.

Monte Irvin made history when he debuted for the New York Giants #OTD in 1949, teaming up with Hank Thompson as the first two Black players to integrate the club.

The Hall of Fame's newest members will reflect on their induction in a live taping of The Road to Cooperstown podcast with host Jon Morosi on Monday, July 28. Read more: Tickets:

Hank O’Day was chosen to umpire the first modern World Series in 1903 as the only NL ump. The Hall of Fame arbiter, born #OTD in 1859, would go on to work nine other World Series, second-most in baseball history.

After Ted Williams hit a walk-off home run to end the All-Star Game #OTD in 1941, The Kid jumped for joy, saying, “I’ve never been so happy.”

Our #Shortstops series brings you deeper inside the Hall of Fame's collection with the stories behind impressive artifacts. Our first feature of the summer takes a look at Mookie Betts' road jersey from the 2020 World Series:

Billy Herman took the field by storm, earning 10 consecutive All-Star Game invitations while batting .304 with 2,345 career hits. The Hall of Famer was born #OTD in 1909.

On this date in 2008, the @Brewers acquired @CC_Sabathia. The Class of 2025 inductee carried the club on his back, going 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA while leading the NL with seven complete games and three shutouts, to clinch Milwaukee's first postseason appearance in 26 years.

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?". For the timeless Satchel Paige, born #OTD in 1906, the stories only scratch the surface of his legendary career.

Few managers possessed an ability to transform talent into wins like Whitey Herzog. The legendary @Cardinals skipper stepped down #OTD in 1990 with 1,281 wins, three NL pennants and a World Series title to his name.

The 1942 All-Star Game brought Americans a much needed bit of entertainment in the midst of World War II. Punctuated by Lou Boudreau’s leadoff homer, the game not only lifted spirits but raised $95,000 for the Bat and Ball and Army and Navy Relief Funds.

You had to hand it to Steve Carlton #OTD in 1980 when his 2,833rd career K made him the strikeout king among southpaws. Later that year, Lefty powered the @Phillies to the World Series and earned his third Cy Young Award.

As the American and National League faced off in the inaugural All-Star Game #OTD in 1933, it was no surprise that Babe Ruth would leave his mark with the Midsummer Classic’s first home run.
