We remember Harvey Haddix who was born in Ohio on this day in 1925.
Haddix won 136 games with a very decent 3.63 ERA. He even won 20 games with the Pirates in 1953. In fact, he won 50 games over a 3-year span, 1953-55.

Haddix died in 1994. Haddix was very effective in the 1960 World Series against New York:
