People that are into astrology may make more of this, but I find it interesting how some dates are stacked with great players and HOF then other dates you would really have to question using the word "great" even when they are the best for that particular birthday.
One list I found online from 2011 gave these numbers for the amount of HOF by month:
25 -- April
24 -- October
23 -- December
22 -- May
21 -- September
21 -- August
19 -- November
19 -- July
18 -- March
15 -- January
14 -- February
11 -- June
With someone stating:
