Only one pitcher in big league history has at least 200 wins and 150 saves… and his birthday is today. Help us wish John Smoltz a happy 59th birthday! 🎉

On this date in 1941, Joe DiMaggio's first-inning single scored Phil Rizzuto for the Yankees' only run in a 13-1 loss to the White Sox. It would be the first of 56 straight games where the Yankee Clipper would record a hit. ow.ly/KEqU50Z08Vk

Join us in wishing @GeorgeHBrett a happy 73rd birthday! The @Royals icon is the only player in MLB history to win a batting title in three different decades.

Earle Combs was the first @Yankees player ever to step to the plate with a number on the back of his uniform, on April 18, 1929. The Hall of Famer was born #OTD in 1899.

Ed Walsh went 40-15 in 1908 for the @whitesox – becoming the last 40-game winner in AL/NL history – and his career 1.82 ERA is the best ever. The Hall of Famer was born on this date in 1881.

We cannot say it enough: Thank you for your service. To show our gratitude, veterans will receive complimentary Museum admission on May 23 with the purchase of a Military Classic ticket. ow.ly/rhL450YZKaY

On this date in 1967, Mickey Mantle became the sixth member of the 500-home run club. He finished his career with 536 homers, third on the all-time list when he retired. ow.ly/YlsN50YZG53

Since Roy Halladay’s debut in 1998, no pitcher has topped his 20 shutouts or come close to his 67 complete games. The durable ace of the @BlueJays and @Phillies was born #OTD in 1977.

He was the Big Dog in the middle of the Big Red Machine’s lineup – the batter no pitcher wanted up with runners on base. Join us in wishing Hall of Famer Tony Pérez a happy 84th birthday! 📸 Doug McWilliams

In a season that saw Kirby Puckett capture his first American League batting title, he put on a clinic for the @Twins with a record-tying four doubles #OTD in 1989. ow.ly/10Mz50YZc1y

It was a monumental occasion #OTD in 1923 when, in his fourth big league season, Joe Sewell struck out twice in a game for the first time. The Hall of Famer struck out just 114 times in 7,132 career at-bats. ow.ly/Jpyw50YZ9aJ

Four of Charlie Culberson’s 30 career home runs were walk-offs – including Vin Scully’s last game-winning call at Dodger Stadium. Will he come through in the clutch on May 23? Get your tickets today to find out! baseballhall.org/hofclassic 📺 @IntentionalTalk

Did you know Stan Musial is the only member of the 3,000-hit club to achieve the feat as a pinch-hitter? The @Cardinals legend’s double #OTD in 1958 came amidst what would be his 17th consecutive season batting .300 or better.

When George Brett hit the 300th home run of his career #OTD in 1993, he became just the sixth member of the 300/3,000 club. ow.ly/oJA950YYU6I

In honor of Bobby Cox, No. 6 will be embroidered on the back of our caps for the remainder of the 2026 season 💙

When Ernie Banks joined the 500-home run club #OTD in 1970, he became only the ninth player to reach that magic number – and the first to do it in @Cubs pinstripes. ow.ly/zZIS50YXVJf
