John Franklin "Home Run" Baker was born on this date in 1886 in Trappe, Maryland.
He signed his first professional contract with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908, making his Major League Baseball debut the same year. Baker quickly established himself as one of the premier power hitters of his time.
During his career, Baker earned the nickname "Home Run" Baker for his ability to hit, you guessed it, home runs during a time when they were a rarity. He led the American League in home runs for four consecutive seasons from 1911 to 1914 and played a pivotal role in the Philadelphia Athletics' World Series championships in 1910, 1911, and 1913.
Baker's career was also highlighted by his time with the New York Yankees, where he continued to be an influential player until his retirement from playing in 1922.
After hanging up his cleats, Baker didn't stray far from the diamond, contributing to the sport in various roles, including managing. While managing in the minors he was credited with discovering future Hall-of-Famer Jimmie Foxx.
Happy birthday to John Franklin "Home Run" Baker!

Managers Joe McCarthy and Leo Durocher get together for a photo just before the start of game one of the 1941 World Series. Dodgers and Yankees would split the first two games at Yankee stadium, but Dodgers would drop the next three games at Ebbets Field.
