Birthdays: 11/22
Reds:
Jonny Gomes (31) -I wish him lots of luck, but I'm glad he's not a Red any more. Joe Gaines (74) -Spare-part OF in '60 and '61. Later played with Baltimore and Houston. Harry Rice -Really good all-around player who spent a couple of years with the Reds. Came up just a couple of hits short of a .300 career average. Ended his career at age 31, although he hung around in the minors for a few more years. Others: Joe Nathan (37) -The newest Ranger. The trade in which Minnesota acquired him, Liriano and Bonser for A.J. Pierczynski has to be one of the all-time lopsided trades. Greg Luzinski (61) -The Bull wasn't the worst OF I ever saw (that would be Jeff Burroughs) but he was right up there. Sure could hit, though... Lyman Bostock -The man who shot and killed Bostock served only 21 months in custody. Lew Burdette -Extreme control pitcher from Nitro, West Virginia. Poster boy for the spitball before Gaylord Perry. Dick Bartell -"Rowdy Richard". I can't keep him and Dave Bancroft separated in my mind.

Re: Birthdays: 11/22
I'm not sure, but I think it was Rob Neyer who said that statistically, Lew Burdette was the luckiest pitcher who ever took the mound.

Re: Birthdays: 11/22
Luzinski used to literally turn his back to centerfield when playing left, telling Gary Maddox that he would take everything from where he stood, to the leftfield foul line, and everything else was on Maddox.
