The venerable Heine Meine for best name.
Joe Hietpas as my Northwestern twin
Marcus Stroman as the legitimate best, perhaps?

September 23rd. The numbers show Matt Kemp, but my heart tells me former Brewer Jeff Cirillo.

You've got me beat, Barry!

I was hoping for somebody like Eddie Collins, Al Simmons or Johnny Bench.

It's just random Bill. Didn't have much say on the date.

And John Coltrane was born on September 23, so you share with a giant in the field of jazz!

I am clearly the best baseball player born on my birth date. Sad.

There is no major league competition.

At least I once worked for the Cubs.

However, my birth day is slightly better, being shared by three T206ers and Hall of Fame hopeful, Felix Millan.

Perhaps we could either extend this thread or start a new one with:

What single calendar date has the most:

HOFers

best pitching

best offense

best defense


or the best players, in the hall or not

or just the most players to make it to the show.


Now, that's a good bit of research, if someone wants to take the Mantle (10/20).

My father shares a birthday with Mantle.

For me Joe Morgan is the best match.

Interesting thread.

I always knew this about my father, who was a fairly good baseball player in high school. He was born the same day as Jimmie Foxx (10/22) and died the same day as Mickey Mantle (8/13)

I was born on 5/14 same day as TWO Perfect Game pitchers, Dennis Martinez and Roy Halladay.

Farrah Fawcett, born February 2nd... Ground Hogs Day.

Ok, not a ball player, but would be a helluva catch.

Christy Mathewson and Bob Buhl racked up over 500 wins, so that's a strong 1-2 pitching punch for August 12th. Harlond Clift is the best hitter. I actually got an autograph from Harlond years ago in which I mentioned that we shared a birthday. Barry Manuel and Joe Millette were born on the same day as me. I met Barry at a Spring Training game and I mentioned that and he asked to see my driver's license. He got a kick out of that. And we were both from Louisiana.

It looks like I share a birthday with Hall of Fame manager Walter Alston. Apparently we both attended Miami University as well which is cool.

As far as strictly players go, probably George Foster with an honorable mention to Larry Walker.
