"Other notables born that day:

Percy Bysshe Shelly
Louis Armstrong
Barak Obama
Meg Whitman
Billy Bob Thornton"

Is that some new variant spelling of Barack?

Default April 4
I am happy to say that there were quite a few good baseball players born on my birthday (April 4) including Tris Speaker, Gil Hodges, Joe Vosmik, Mickey Owen, Ray Fosse, Jim Fregosi and Scott Rolen. Ex-commissioner Bart Giamatti was also born on that day.

Other notables: Maya Angelou, Robert Downey Jr, Dale Hawerchuk, Heath Ledger, Craig T. Nelson and Muddy Waters.

Hi Brian! Great thread. Thanks for getting me everyone's birthdate.

Now..., if you would start a thread talking about the baseball tie-ins with their Social Security numbers, and get everyone to contribute, that would be great!

Jay- I knew about Mary Shelley, because Percy Shelley and I are both August 4, and Judy and Mary are both August 30. So as a couple we share two birthdays! I know meaningless stuff like that.

I was also born of February 6th, as was Bob Marley. I always thought it was cool to share a birthday with the "Babe" and Bob Marley.

Valentine's day is almost completely void of any decent players, but has a couple of great names.

Best hitter is Candy LaChance. Insert joke here.

Best pitcher is Pretzels Getzien.

I did not meet anyone else with my birthday until I was 35 years old! The odds against that are enormous.
Other than Joe Blanton, Jay Bell and Derek Bell there is only this guy:

Default B-Day madness
To Jeff Betts--- a most happy day to you as well sir!

My deep dish of lasagne set the tone for my birthday banana cream pie. Along with another Phillies victory tonight... I will sleep peacefully!

To Jim VB---there you go, ruining humanity again. Oh...that PIN number you asked for sent via PM

To those sharing birthdays with Barry Manilow, David Hasselhoff or Michael Bolton...um, never mind

To JimB--I was reading "Matty" on the airplane back from St.Louis last week...how many times do you actually wish a flight was longer?? I am only half way through

Thanks for playing...more scans!!
