Rabbit Maranville put the “short” in shortstop, standing just 5-foot-5.

Nevertheless, he led his league’s shortstops in putouts six times and double plays four times, while his 8,967 career assists are the most all-time.

The Hall of Famer was born #OTD in 1891.

The first three-peat in the history of the Manager of the Year Award was no sweat for Pat Murphy.

After leading the @Brewers to a franchise-best 103 victories, the skipper wore this World Series hoodie en route to Milwaukee’s first Fall Classic victory.

For Harmon Killebrew – the final player to have made the move from D.C. to Minnesota – this date in 1975 marked the end of an era. https://t.co/qyEVeS9QJG

Jim Palmer threw more innings and recorded more wins than any other American League pitcher in the 1970s.

He continued his run of excellence by becoming the first three-time Cy Young Award winner in the AL 50 years ago today. https://t.co/ErzGtyNdey

On this date in 2004, the @Braves’ Bobby Cox won his third Manager of the Year Award.

He would win his fourth in 2005, becoming the first manager to win the award in consecutive years.

The Hall of Fame remembers 1980 World Series champion Bob Boone, who passed away Monday at 78.

With his father Ray and sons Aaron and Bret, Bob – a four-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove Award winner – was part of MLB’s first three-generation family.

Willie Mays’ second NL MVP season stamped him as one of baseball’s all-time greats.

He captured the award #OTD in 1965 – his age-34 campaign – after leading the majors with 52 home runs and a 1.043 OPS. https://t.co/gMB868ctVO

When it’s just you and Frank Robinson, you’re in good company.

National League Rookie of the Year Sal Stewart, who became the first Cincinnati rookie with a 30-homer season since the Hall of Fame outfielder, has a @Reds City Connect cap in the Museum’s collection.

The American League Rookie of the Year already has a Cooperstown connection.

Kevin McGonigle, the sixth player in @tigers history to earn the honor, used this bat during his award-winning season before it was donated to the Hall of Fame.

Robin Yount may have been the best all-around player in baseball in 1982, but the @Brewers shortstop credited his AL MVP Award to the whole club.

“It’s quite an honor but as I’ve said many times, I couldn’t have won it without everyone else on the team.” https://t.co/IG16gda1Yu

Whitey Herzog turned Missouri baseball into a national phenomenon in the 1970s and ’80s, leading the @Royals and @Cardinals to first-place finishes and postseason glory.

The Hall of Fame manager was born #OTD in 1931.

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

Jackie Robinson won the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award on this date in 1947, and two new names will join him on that prestigious list Monday night.

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

Over 17 seasons with the @Cardinals, Bob Gibson won 20 games five times and established himself as the very definition of intimidation, competitiveness and dignity.

The Hall of Famer was born #OTD in 1935.

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

After winning the Triple Crown in 1966, it was only a matter of time until Frank Robinson earned MVP honors too.

The @Orioles star was named the unanimous victor 60 years ago today, becoming the first player to win the award in both the AL and NL. https://t.co/pWXMbmF09R

A World Series champion as a manager – at only 27 years old? There’s a reason Bucky Harris was known as “The Boy Wonder.”

The Hall of Famer, who won three AL pennants and two World Series titles, was born on this date in 1896.

No other hitter in 1978 could keep up with Jim Rice, who led the league with 46 home runs, 213 hits, 139 RBI and a .600 slugging percentage.

The @RedSox star was named the American League MVP 48 years ago today. https://t.co/uYjN9GGOzR

Following his first full season with the @Cardinals, Orlando Cepeda was named the National League’s MVP in a unanimous vote #OTD in 1967.

It capped off a remarkable comeback for the first baseman, who had missed most of 1965 with a major knee surgery. https://t.co/V0l5X1mbYs
