Today's Birthdays
Jolbert Cabrera LAN b. 1972, played 2002-2003. A useful slap-hitting utility player, he didn't hurt the Dodgers when he played, but neither was he the big bat they needed when the team was dying offensively in 2003. Traded to Seattle in 2004 at the beginning of the season, he hasn't played in the majors since that year.
Jeff Davanon ANA,LAA b. 1973, played 1999, 2001-2005. Maya may forget, but I can't; .290/.371/.448 is a great line for a fourth outfielder, which reminds me to ask the question, why do the Angels seem to think of Juan Rivera as a sub? Anyway, Jay Jaffee wrote a nice little piece on him a couple years back, which I invite you to read now. At 33, I don't think he's got a lot of time left.
Eddie Dent BRO b. 1887, played 1909, 1911-1912, d. 1974-11-25
Tim Foli CAL b. 1950, played 1982-1983
Alan Foster CAL,LAN b. 1946, played 1967-1970, 1972
John Orton CAL b. 1965, played 1989-1993
