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.
14 - 40 - 32
May 26, 1951 - Willie Mays had a slow start in the season, but with pure talent and determination, the youngster overcame his 0-12 slump woes and belted the first home Run of his career. The New York Giant wearing Number 14 that season would go on to hit 19 more over the wall and bat .274.
May 26, 1986 - The arm was feeling great! White Sox pitcher Joe Cowley, Number 40 set an MLB record by striking out the first seven batters he faced from the Texas Rangers line up. Talk about when your stuff is working! It didn't last long though because the Rangers came back and won the game 6-3.
May 26, 1994 - A milestone was reached by Twin's slugger Dave Winfield. Minnesota's Number 32 passed Rod Carew into 15th place on the all-time hit list with the stellar number of 3,054 hits in his career.
