Here’s some history from today:
This Date – Birth dates of Hall of Famer Ned Hanlon and star pitcher Howie Camnitz
Game Rewind – A look at a no-hitter from 1907 that was once official, though it’s not now. Ironically, it was thrown by the aforementioned Howie Camnitz
Card of the Day – A look at the 1912 T207 Howie Camnitz…seriously, he gets three articles in one day? Pure coincidence I might add.
