Stan Coveleski makes his Debut: September 10, 1912  at age 23, as the 3,800th in major league history   vs. the Detroit Tigers  he pitched 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 SO, 1 BB, 0 ERUsing a fluttering spitball that dove sharply and broke inside on lefties and righties, Stan Coveleski helped two unlikely teams to the World Series. He won three games in the 1920 Series — the first championship for Cleveland, and in 1925 he helped the Senators to the World Series in his first year with that club, winning 20 games. He consistently topped 275 innings pitched and was a valuable pitcher well into his mid-thirties. Coveleski learned the spitter while in the minors in 1913-1915, earning a permanent spot in the big leagues in 1916 when the Indians bought his contract. A longtime resident of South Bend, Indiana, the ballfield in that college town bears his name. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.Stan's Page - https://thisdayinbaseball.com/stan-coveleski-page/1920 Season -  https://thisdayinbaseball.com/maj

One of the most prolific home run hitters of all time, Henry Aaron withstood tremendous pressure to break Babe Ruth's career record. Aaron is often overlooked when historians debate the best player of the 1950s and 1960s. He was a great hitter, winning two batting titles. He was an outstanding base runner with a good outfield arm. His 1957 MVP season led the Milwaukee Braves to the pennant and, eventually, their only World Series title. Late in his career and after his retirement, Aaron was a vocal leader supporting minority hiring in baseball. Some highlights include:  25 Time All-Star 18 Consecutive seasons with 20+ homerun 15 Seasons with 100+ runs scored 14 Seasons hitting over .300 11 Seasons with 100+ RBIs 3 Gold Gloves 2 Batting titles 1957 MVP & World Champion Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982 Given his career, it is hardly surprising that Aaron contends that" there wasn't a pitcher I felt I could never get a hit off." Nevertheless, he concedes that Juan Marichal and Don Drysda
