The Homestead Grays made one of the largest transactions in Negro Leagues history #OTD in 1937, acquiring future Hall of Famers Josh Gibson and Judy Johnson from the Pittsburgh Crawfords.

Joe McGinnity didn’t reach the big leagues until he was 28. But once he got there, he wasted no time establishing himself as a star. The Hall of Famer, who was born on this day in 1871, won at least 20 games in each of his first eight seasons.

Months after his tragic passing, Roberto Clemente was elected to the Hall of Fame #OTD in 1973. The momentous day, clouded by sadness, made The Great One the first Latin American player enshrined in Cooperstown. ow.ly/lYwV50YwMQB

Rickey Henderson was already baseball’s stolen base king, but the Man of Steal had unfinished business. After rejoining the @Padres 25 years ago today, he would achieve three more major milestones in 2001. ow.ly/vEaY50YwxBb

Richie Ashburn, an all-around talent known for his steady glove in center field, was born #OTD in 1927. The @Phillies star led the National League in on-base percentage four times and putouts nine times.

Lou Perini shook up the baseball map #OTD in 1953 when he took the Boston Braves to Milwaukee. With relocations and expansion on the horizon, the move would mark the start of unprecedented growth for Major League Baseball. ow.ly/kFLt50Yw42E

Moving from Boston to Chicago meant Carlton Fisk was changing his Sox. After signing a seven-year contract #OTD in 1981, the future Hall of Fame catcher also opted for a new number, switching from 27 to 72. ow.ly/7xbk50YvM8w

There are win-win trades, and then there are Hall of Famer-for-Hall of Famer trades. Both teams reaped the benefits when the Braves sent Joe Torre to the Cardinals in exchange for Orlando Cepeda #OTD in 1969. ow.ly/bJg850Yve3l

Looking clean in green. Forty years ago today, the @Phillies exchanged their customary red pinstripes for this #StPatricksDay-inspired look.

Everywhere Dick Allen played, Wampum had his back. After signing with the Athletics #OTD in 1977 for what would be his final major league season, the future Hall of Famer sported a unique No. 60 jersey honoring his roots. ow.ly/93TJ50YuZ1L (📸 Doug McWilliams)
