Oct. 20th
When I was a kid, my mom bought me one of those Dover Reprint baseball card books for Christmas one year. While ripping the cards out of the book, I happened to notice that Mickey Mantle and I shared the same birthday.
That card was my first show-and-tell object when we got back from break. I still have the card, folded and creased from carrying it in my pocket that day.
Later, I found out that Juan Marichal also was born on 10/20. I figured I was in good company.
