June 10, 1944 – Southpaw teenager Joe Nuxhall at 15 becomes the youngest pitcher to play in a major league baseball game when he takes to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds. He would later say of that outing: “I was pitching against seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders, kids 13 and 14 years old. All of a sudden, I look up and there's Stan Musial. It was a very scary situation.”
