Roland Hemond began his baseball career as a stadium sweeper in Hartford, Conn. Decades later, he would be known as one of the most respected executives in the game. The second recipient of the Buck O’Neil Lifetime Achievement Award was born #OTD in 1929.

Baseball was a real family affair for the MacPhails. To this day, Larry and Lee remain the only father-son duo to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Lee, who helped build the 1960s @Orioles and was later the president of the American League, was born #OTD in 1917.

This time last year, Cooper Pratt was a Double-A prospect visiting the Hall of Fame for the first time. The @Brewers shortstop and Game 2 hero must have taken some October inspiration from Robin Yount!

Jim Bunning earned his first of 224 career victories against Washington – a city he would come to know well as a member of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The Hall of Fame pitcher was born in Southgate, Ky. #OTD in 1931.
