Today's Birthdays
Gibby Brack BRO b. 1908, played 1937-1938, d. 1960-01-20
Rube Dessau BRO b. 1883, played 1910, d. 1952-05-06
Hank Gastright BRO b. 1865, played 1894, d. 1937-10-09
Tommy Holmes BRO b. 1917, played 1952, All-Star: 1945, 1948
Brian Jordan LAN b. 1967, played 2002-2003, All-Star: 1999. What became of Gary Sheffield; a useful enough corner outfielder, but not nearly the offensive star Sheffield was. Famous for his second-half power droughts and chronic injuries, he was last seen as a 1B/PH type for the Braves after an unsuccessful 2004 with the Rangers; so far as I can tell, he's now out of baseball.
Leo Meyer BRO b. 1888, played 1909, d. 1968-09-02
Alex Ochoa ANA b. 1972, played 2002. A useful fifth outfielder type, the Angels replaced him with Eric Owens and learned a lesson or two about being careful when constructing the bench.
Domingo Ramos CAL b. 1958, played 1988
Mike Ramsey LAN b. 1954, played 1985. The first Mike Ramsey.
