Mike Jorgensen was born on the same day Ruth died and he had a decent 17 year career. Ruth passed away on August 16th, same date as Tommie Aaron(Hank's brother) and Bobby Thomson.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
