Lets see what team sport athletes made history on February 10. Sports history is made every day of the year. We will preserve at least a small sampling from some great athletes every day based on the uniform number they wore.
34 - 23 - 25 - 19
February 10, 1920 - Major League Baseball outlawed all pitches involving tampering with ball, and that's what became of the spit ball!
February 10, 1924 - Bucky Harris at the ripe young age of 27, became youngest baseball manager in the history of MLB when he took the position of player/manager with the Washington Senators. Remember no numbers were really worn until about 1929 but we do know Ole Bucky wore Number 34 playing with the Detroit Tigers in 1931.
February 10, 1969 - Collegiate basketball star Pete Maravich of the LSU Tigers scored 66 points, in a disappointing loss to Tulane 101-94. Pete wore Number 23 for the Tigers years before the number was in Vogue for hoops players.
February 10, 1975 William "Judy" Johnson selected to Baseball Hall of Fame
February 10, 1989 - Former Number 25 of the Boston Celtics, K. C. Jones; Pop Gates who was known to sport the Number 19 with a team or two; and Cleveland Cavalier Number 19, Lenny Wilkens were both selected to enter into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame
