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. Abbaticchio is now eighth in alphabetical order, behind, among others, ex-Twin Fernando Abad.
There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on this day.
