Saw this on Pea’s blog and thought I’d give it a try. I know a lot of weird stuff happened on my birthday.
1) Go to Wikipedia
2) In the search box, type your birth month and day but not the year
3) List three events that happened on your birthday
4) List two important birthdays and one death
5) One holiday or observance (if any)

Ten years after the Civil War and 12 years after the Battle of Gettysburg Edward Plank was born. He became a Hall of Fame pitcher who played most of his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. He is 3rd out of left handed pitchers and 11th among all pitchers in wins with 326. Gettysburg is mainly known for the Battle during the Civil War and also Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address which is recognized as one of the most famous speeches in history. Eddie Plank also known as “Gettysburg Eddie” also brought some recognition to the small town in PA. Although the Civil War far surpasses Eddie Plank’s fame I feel he should still be recognized as a Gettysburg story.
