August 10 in the record

Leading the August 10 birthdays is Willie Wells, first of 25 players shown. The HOF tag marks Willie Wells. From Scott Hastings in 1847 to A.J. Ewing in 2004, the births cover a long stretch of the game. Next on the August 10 birthday list are Rocky Colavito (b. 1933, .266 avg, 374 HR) and Buddy Lewis (b. 1916, .297 avg, 71 HR). Not every August 10 birthday is American-born: the list also covers Venezuela, México, and D.R. Career lines shown range from Willie Wells's .327 avg, 145 HR to Bob Porterfield's 87-97, 3.79 ERA on the mound. The span for Archie Bradley, Anthony Banda, and A.J. Ewing ends in a dash, meaning no last game is recorded. 15 baseball figures died on August 10; Lou Boudreau is listed first. The HOF tag on the August 10 memorial list goes to Lou Boudreau. The memorial list continues with Cookie Lavagetto (1912–1990) and Don Gross (1931–2017). Elliot Bigelow (1933) and Mike Cubbage (2024) bracket the memorial list. Names are ordered by a career-impact score that weighs Hall of Fame status and career totals, which is why Willie Wells is listed first.
