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. Now, of course, David Aardsma has them both beat.
There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.
Game 1:
Nathan Eovaldi
vs
Kenta Maeda
Lineup:
Arraez - 3B
Polanco - 2B
Cruz - DH
Kepler - RF
Astudillo - 1B
Kirilloff - LF
Cave - CF
Jeffers - C
Riddle - SS
Game 2:
Eduardo Rodriguez
vs
José Berríos
Two seven-inning games. Still not a fan of those post-2020.
Twins have dropped the last three and risk falling below .500 since Game 2. Maeda and Berríos are the two starters you'd want pitching to end that streak. I hope the bullpen takes the day off because really, they aren't helping.
Because I wanna.

Cannonball Redding was a star pitcher in the Negro Leagues.
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.
Twins and Red Sox look to get started again after yesterday's postponement. Looks like today's announced starters will remain with Monday's starters going on Wednesday as part of a doubleheader. That means A.J. Happ versus former Twin Martin Perez.
Going to be lousy weather with wet raw temperatures in the upper 30's. I bet you could get in the game for under $10 if you wanted to (bundle up!).
Red Sox have been decent this year, not sure if it's SSS or they've made some real improvements. Twins have played well except for a relieve who shall remain nameless.
1:10p first pitch, let's hope for some baseball as a small distraction to trying times.
Twins Lineup
CF - Buxton
LF - Garlick
C - Garver
2B - Polanco
DH - Sano
3B - Arraez
1B - Astudillo
SS - Simmons
RF - Cave
Live version
Last live show I attended was Cold War Kids at First Ave. My ID was expired but besides that nonsense that it was a fantastic show. They were touring this album and like everyone they have another pandemic LP coming out soon. This isn't my favorite of their songs but seems appropriate. There was a time that I pretty much only listened to CWK and Bloc Party and it was great.
Bonus favorite song.
