Roberto Clemente penned his name into baseball’s history books when he collected his 3,000th hit. He became the first Latino player to reach that milestone, and it was the final hit of his career.🇵🇷

Seventy-two years ago today, Willie Mays made “The Catch.” Flagging down Vic Wertz's fly ball in the expansive Polo Grounds outfield, the Say Hey Kid made one of the most iconic plays in sports history in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series.

The 2027 Ford C. Frick Award ballot features 10 broadcasters whose careers concluded prior to the Wild Card Era: 🔹 Buddy Blattner 🔹 Ken Coleman 🔹 Dizzy Dean 🔹 Earl Gillespie 🔹 Merle Harmon 🔹 Ned Martin 🔹 Monte Moore 🔹 Gustavo Lopez Moreno 🔹 Bill O’Donnell 🔹 Jack Quinlan

Jacob Misiorowski held opposing hitters to a .157 average – the lowest in a full season on record – while helping the Brewers win a franchise-best 103 games. Miz’s cap and spikes from his final regular season start are headed to Cooperstown.

The Hall of Fame remembers Mets, Dodgers, Giants, Expos and Cardinals infielder Ron Hunt, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 85. Hunt, a two-time All-Star in New York, led his league in hit by pitches each season from 1968-74, including a Modern Era-record 50 in 1971.

As the fourth Yankees player to earn All-Star MVP honors, Cody Bellinger joined some elite company – Giancarlo Stanton (2022), Mariano Rivera (2013) and Derek Jeter (2000). The bat he used to knock the game’s decisive two-run single will be preserved at the Hall of Fame.
