I was surprised by how many guys were listed for Dec 11th, not surprisingl was how many of them were journeymen, more or less "pluggers" just like me. Three recognizable names of players with notable careers popped out; Derek Bell. Lee Maye and Bill Nicholoson. At the bottom of the listing was one HOF'r Old Hoss Radbourn.

This is a fun thread!
I have 52 players with top of the list being Monte Irvin, Ron Santo, Andy Pafko, Paul O'Neill and Cesar Cedeno. Some fun early players too. I might start a subcollection of players born on my birthday because of this, lol.

Alas with a birthday of February 29th my odds are 1/4th as good as any other day. However 1931 WS hero Pepper Martin was born on leap day 1904. He was gone by the time I was born in 1972.
In other sports, hockey's Simone Gagne got to bear the brunt of the "how old are you - oh that explains it" jokes. As did Tampa 2 inventor Monte Kiffin

Lots of pitchers; The Only Nolan, Jim Kaat, and Joe Niekro. What happened? I'm the only person born on November 7th with a noodle arm?

Earl Averill
Kent Hrbek Josh Hamilton And 50 others, some with fairly good careers but maybe not great, and a couple that haven't played long enough to tell. Not a bad group. Steve B |

January 6th
While I was able to take my older brother to a football game on his birthday
(9/13), he cannot do the same (Baseball for me) for me as my birthday is January 6. I do enjoy, however, enjoy having the latest Hall-of-Fame election results revealed every year on my birthday...just for me, right? . .
