I saw a thread earlier today and that got me thinking. Its cool to find out things that happened on the day of the year you were born and who you share it with. Since I love history I just had to check it out
I was born August 22 and I had some greats and some funny instances that my same day of the year. I share with 53 player
Martin Mullen (August 22, 1852 – October 27, 1915) was an American professional baseball player for the Cleveland Forest Citys. He played in one game on August 17, 1872 and was hitless in four at-bats, scoring one run. He played in right field for the game. His one appearance in the professional leagues was due to an accident. Rynie Wolters, the regular outfielder for the Forest Citys, swallowed his chaw of tobacco and could not play so Mullen, a local amateur player made his professional debut.
Edward Hugh "Ned" Hanlon (August 22, 1857 – April 14, 1937), also known as "Foxy Ned",[2] and sometimes referred to as "The Father of Modern Baseball,"[3][4][5] was an American professional baseball player and manager whose career spanned from 1876 to 1914. He was posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996 by vote of the Veterans Committee.
Hanlon was a manager in Major League Baseball from 1889 to 1907, compiling a 1,313–1,164 (.530) record with five different clubs. He is best remembered as the manager of the Baltimore Orioles (1892–1898) and Brooklyn Superbas (1899–1905). In the seven seasons from 1894 to 1900, Hanlon compiled a 635–315 (.668) record, and his teams won five National League pennants. During his years with the Orioles, Hanlon was also credited with inventing and perfecting the "inside baseball" strategy, including the "hit and run" play and the Baltimore chop.
Hanlon also played 13 seasons in Major League Baseball, principally as a center fielder. He played in over 800 games as an outfielder for the Detroit Wolverines, remaining with the team during all eight years of its existence from 1881 to 1888. He compiled a career batting average of .260 and an on-base percentage of .325 with 930 runs scored and 1,317 hits. Although stolen base records are not available for the early portion of his playing career, Hanlon stole 329 bases (an average of 55 per year) in his last six years as a full-time player
