Birthday thread

NOV 5th

I cannot think of any major BB players who were born on my Birthday (Walter Johnson is on Nov 6th).

Anyhow, Harry Gumbert (15-year ML career pitching for Giants, Cardinals, and Cincinnati) born Nov 5.
Harry was born in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania....I was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Quite a coincidence.

Jim Tabor [9-year ML career (7 with Red Sox and 2 with Phillies) as a 3rd Baseman. His claim to fame
is 3 HR's in a game on July 4, 1939 of which 2 of them were Grand-Slams that were hit in consecutive
innings. This noteworthy feat may be Major League record.
Check-out this coincidence...Tabor was born in New Hope, Alabama...I live in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

Don't mind me, I am fascinated by such type of coincidences.

Furthermore, major celebrities with the same Birthday are Roy Rogers (favorite Cowboy), Joel McCrea,
Art Garfunkle, Peter Noone, Elke Summer, and Vivian Leigh.

Off the top of my mind, they are the notable folks whose Birthday is Nov 5th. I'll do a bit of homework
to see if I can come up with some more.
