Wally Pipp was born on February 17, 1893, which makes today a good day to NOT skip out on something you were thinking about doing. Maybe don’t call in sick if you can help it. Just saying.
By the way, did you know that Lou Gehrig was born in 1903, ten years (and some months’ change) after Pipp? Or that the Iron Horse debuted with the Yankees in June of 1923…ten years after Pipp debuted with the Tigers, in June of 1913.
Cue spooky baseball music — maybe a minor-key, half-step-laden version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”
