The Hall of Fame remembers Giants, Red Sox, White Sox, Reds and Twins pitcher Al Worthington, who passed away Tuesday.

To call @DaveWinfieldHOF one of the greatest athletes ever would be an understatement.

He was drafted by the NFL, NBA, ABA and MLB in the summer of 1973, but he chose baseball and debuted for the @Padres without playing a single game in the minor leagues. https://t.co/bVy7I3OfI4

On this date in 1903, the “luckiest man on the face of the Earth” was born.

There's no denying that Lou Gehrig left a legacy of high character behind him. But let's not overlook his 1.080 OPS (third all-time), 1,995 RBI (seventh) and his pair of 10.0+ WAR seasons (1927 and 1934).

Randy Marsh was behind the plate for one of the most dramatic games in postseason history: Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS.

The longtime umpire visited Cooperstown to donate the chest protector and mask he wore that night to the Hall of Fame. https://t.co/aYEtKz6Ztm

Forty years ago today, Don Sutton earned his milestone 300th win in typical Sutton fashion: A complete-game, three-hit performance with no walks.

With the victory, he became the sixth pitcher to pair 300 wins with 3,000 strikeouts. https://t.co/OGNCsTxisz

Like many great baseball tales, it starts with Reggie.

When @mroctober debuted a stunning ‘stache in 1972, @Athletics owner Charlie Finley offered a $300 bonus to any player who grew his own.

The trend caught on, and the A’s celebrated “Mustache Day” on June 18 with a 9-0 win.

Lou Brock revolutionized the art of baserunning, leading the National League in steals every year but one from 1966 and 1974.

The @Cardinals legend, who swiped 938 bases over his Hall of Fame career, was born #OTD in 1939.

On this date in 2009, @Pudge_Rodriguez surpassed Carlton Fisk’s record by catching his 2,227th career game.

The @Astros jersey he wore that day is part of the Hall of Fame's collection.
