Jim Creighton was a star pitcher from 1857-1862, before the National League was created. He passed away from a ruptured hernia in 1862 at the age of twenty-one.
Until Henry Aaron came along, Ed Abbaticchio held the “first in the alphabet” record.
There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.

Marvin Miller was the head of the Major League Baseball Players association from 1966-1983.
Gordon Gillespie holds the record for most wins by a college baseball coach.
It must be kind of a bummer for a big league ballplayer to not only not be the best player born on the day and year he was born, but to not even be the best player with his first name born on the day and year he was born.

2016 Game 8: Hosers at Twins
Well, this has been worthless so far. For eight years I wanted to get back home, and now that I'm here I'm still waiting for the Twins to win a single regular season game. They're still at home, so I guess that's cool, although they face Carlos Rodon, who Fangraphs and B-R and everyone seems to agree is about to break out in a big way (he struck out a ton in the minors).
Phil Hughes goes for the Twins, and will probably throw two or three balls and ninety strikes. I keep sitting here trying to come up with new ways to beg for a win, but I'll just try to bow out gracefully and whisper that I would, indeed, like one. Let's do this, Twins.
Minor Details: Games of April 12
Reynaldo Rodriguez had a good day, but no one else did as the Red Wings were swept. Randy Rosario and Chad Christensen handle things for the Miracle. Miles Nordgren and Cody Stashak combine for a Cedar Rapids win.
