On this date in 1988, the @Dodgers selected Mike Piazza in the 62nd round of the MLB Draft. He would one day become the lowest-round pick ever elected to the Hall of Fame, a mark that may endure forever. (MLB Photos)

#OTD 1953 - The Cardinals sign their first black player, Len Tucker. Tucker signed a $3,000 professional contract with St Louis but the outfielder will never get called up to the major league team. #STLCards @nlbmprez
