Today's Birthdays
Trent Durrington ANA b. 1975, played 1999-2000, 2003. Mostly a career minor leaguer with stints in the Dodgers, Angels, Brewers, and now Red Sox minors.
Rick Gorecki LAN b. 1973, played 1997
Ed Herrmann CAL b. 1946, played 1976, All-Star: 1974. It would be really cool if he were related to composer Bernard, but I sort of doubt it. He played Doug Mirabelli to Wilbur Wood's Tim Wakefield, i.e., he was known for being able to keep up with the floaters. With the 1976 Angels, he was a backup for the not-much-better Andy Etchebarren, and out of baseball two years later.
Hal Janvrin BRO b. 1892, played 1921-1922, d. 1962-03-01
Mike Maddux LAN b. 1961, played 1990, 1999. Brother of current Dodger and presumptive Hall of Famer Greg, he is now the Brewers' pitching coach. Also on the Dodger Blues Crappy Brothers list.
Doc McJames BRO b. 1874, played 1899, 1901, d. 1901-09-23
Rick Steirer CAL b. 1956, played 1982-1984
