Denny Matthews, the iconic voice of the @Royals, will call his 8,000th game on Friday night. The 2007 Frick Award recipient has spent his entire 58-year career in Kansas City, starting with the franchise’s first game in 1969. Congrats from all of us in Cooperstown!

Between Eddie Collins in 1925 and Al Kaline in 1974, nearly half a century passed before another American League player joined the 3,000-hit club. But 52 years ago today, Mr. Tiger’s fourth-inning double off Dave McNally helped him achieve the feat in his hometown of Baltimore.

Sad news to report. You may not know the name, Jeff Scott. But you should. He's the man who once wrote the script for 450 consecutive episodes of the legendary This Week in Baseball - and so much more. He passed away over the weekend.

Steve Carlton’s first victory came in a Cardinals uniform, but to earn win No. 300, he’d have to beat his former club. The @Phillies ace struck out 12 batters in eight innings of work to earn his milestone “W” on this date in 1983. ow.ly/A52O50ZQKUp

Seventy years ago today, Ozzie Virgil Sr. became the first Dominican Republic-born player in AL or NL history. His legacy still runs deep in baseball – today, more MLB players hail from the Dominican than any other country outside the United States. #HispanicHeritageMonth
