From the Hall of Fame collection: @THoffman51 wore this @Padres jersey and threw this baseball when he became the first pitcher to reach the 500-save mark #OTD in 2007. https://t.co/hDOOhjdVlF

Two Hall of Famers were among the 160,000 troops who took part in the Allied Forces’ invasion of Normandy during D-Day, which began on June 6, 1944.

Yogi Berra was a gunner’s mate on the USS Bayfield, and Leon Day delivered much-needed supplies to Utah Beach with the Army’s 818th Amphibious Battalion.

Chipper Jones became the third switch-hitter to join the 400-home run club #OTD in 2008, joining fellow Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray. https://t.co/aQtfqMHth4

Born on this date in 1874, Hall of Famer Jack Chesbro won 41 games for New York in 1904 – the most wins by a pitcher in a season in the Modern Era.

Forty-one years ago today, the sun was shining, Hall of Famer Lee Smith was pitching and Ferris Bueller and his friends skipped school to see the @Cubs play at Wrigley Field.

A worthy excuse, if you ask us.

Sandy Koufax needed just 97 pitches to complete his third career no-hitter – a mark that tied Bob Feller for the most in the Modern Era.

The @Dodgers cap he wore #OTD in 1964 when he achieved the feat is part of the Museum’s collection.

The @Braves found their cornerstone slugger on this date in 1990, selecting Chipper Jones with the first pick in the MLB Draft.

By the time he reached Cooperstown, he would become only the second No. 1 pick to earn a plaque. https://t.co/haKXXrCUmj

Thanks for visiting us, @KingofJUCO!

For six straight games, no one could touch Don Drysdale.

The @Dodgers star tossed his record-setting shutout #OTD in 1968, continuing a scoreless streak that would ultimately extend to 58.2 innings. https://t.co/rEAV3ANVAW

Big Unit, Giant milestone.

Randy Johnson became the 24th pitcher to win 300 games #OTD in 2009, and no pitcher has joined the 300-win club since. https://t.co/S6NR0etNwL

One of the top fielding shortstops of his era, Gene Alley teamed with Bill Mazeroski to give Pittsburgh sensational up-the-middle defense in the 1960s.

@BaseballBiggio That fifth ring was still on the horizon in 2003. While he reached the Fall Classic that October, Jeter and the Yankees would ultimately prevail in 2009.

[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ @baseballhall]

He was the 1996 AL Rookie of the Year, a perennial All-Star and a four-time World Series champion.

But #OTD in 2003, Derek Jeter added another superlative when he became the 15th captain in @Yankees history. https://t.co/D18xdIpzzT

Only two pitchers have taken a perfect game into extra innings – Harvey Haddix in 1959 and @45PedroMartinez, who twirled a gem for the Montreal Expos on this date in 1995. https://t.co/zTMwFzEEfT
