June 24th MLB Fun Fact: There must be something that flows through the air every June 24th, or maybe it’s something groundskeepers put in the fertilizer. Four separate Hall of Fame careers took off on June 24 – all in different years – and a lovely lady named Bernice made a real stride for women in sports. In 1947, Jackie Robinson stole home for the first time in his career, just to do it 18 more times. In 1949, Mickey Mantle signed his first professional contract. In 1950 Willie Mays made his big league debut, and just 5 years later in 1955, Sandy Kofax made his own major league debut. And Bernice Gera, in 1972, became the first woman to umpire a professional baseball game. (Don’t be afraid to take this as a sign of good luck if your birthday or anniversary is June 24.)

Looks Inside the League
Play of the Day:
- 6/17: Lindor Crushes 3-Run Homer
- 6/18: Riley Greene First Major League Hit
- 6/19: Jack Suwinski’s 3 HR Game Including Walk-Off 🤩
Records being shattered all over the place. Suwinski became the first ever rookie to hit 3 home runs in a single game and own the game's walk-off home run. He also broke a franchise record, being the first ever Pirate with multiple walk-off home runs in a single month.
- 6/20: Oneil Cruz’s Crazy 2022 Debut with 2 Hits, 4 RBI 🚨
The tallest shortstop (6’7’’) in MLB history proved he has A LOT more to offer than just his height. While in Indianapolis AAA, Cruz had 9 home runs and 11 stolen bases in just 55 games. When he got his call Monday morning he was more than ready to show up and show out in that night's game against the Cubs.
- 6/21: Ohtani’s 2 HR game - Including a Career High of 8 RBI
- 6/22: Ohtani Reached Career High Ks with 13 in 8 Innings
- 6/23: Aaron Judge Walk-Off Extends Yankees Win Streak 🫡
Aaron Judge’s 27th home run on the season had to be a walk-off, of course. Thursday night’s win over the Astros gave the Yankees a total of 21 comeback wins, 9 walk-offs and their 15th straight home game win. It is safe to say this team in the Bronx is an absolute powerhouse this season and Judge is right in the front of it.
Congrats on the major league debuts of the week! 🎉
