March 24, 1893 – George Sisler, a Hall-of-Fame first baseman who batted .400 twice in his career and once played in every inning of a 154-game season, is born in Nimisila, also known as Manchester and New Franklin. His most-hits-in-a-season record of 257 ends in 2004 when Ichiro Suzuki gets 262 hits. Suzuki, though, got his record in a season that had five more games than Sisler’s 154-game season.
