Birthdays: 12/10
Maybe the lamest group of the year....
Reds: Rick Wrona (48) -Backup catcher who appeared briefly for the '97 Reds. Others: Mel Rojas (45) -Reliever who had a great year in 1992: 7-1, 1.43 ERA. Nephew of the Alou brothers; his son was drafted by the Pirtaes in 2010 so there's a chance the Alou line will continue in the majors. Floyd Giebell -Famous for one of baseball's great David-and-Goliath stories. In 1940, in only his third major league start, he pitched for Detroit against Bob Feller in front of a hostile Cleveland crowd in a game to decide the pennant. He beat Feller 2-0 and the Tigers won the pennant.
