Birthdays- 10/22

Reds:

Hector Carrasco (42)

Jeff Jones (54) -He made the major league team after never playing higher than single-A, if I recall correctly. That turned out to be not such a great idea.

Others:

Robinson Cano (29) -Recorded the last RBI at old Yankee Stadium.

Ichiro Suzuki (38) -First major leaguer to wear his first name on his uniform back since Vida Blue.

Wilbur Wood (70) -Last pitcher to start both ends of a doubleheader; also the last pitcher to both win and lose 20 in the same season. Might have had another 8-10 good years if his kneecap hadn't been shattered by a Ron LeFlore line drive.

Harry "The Hat" Walker

Jimmie Foxx
