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

Re: Birthdays- 10/22
I saw Jones play in Waterbury (AA) in 1983, after he had been sent down. He looked terrible. K'd nearly every time up, and had a big attitude problem. Btw, Paul O'Neil had just been called up and it was his first game in AA. He had a double iirc.

Re: Birthdays- 10/22
I truly believe if Ichiro had played his entire career in MLB he would have broken Pete's hit record. He has been a true hit machine. He may be showing his age now after having a subpar 2011 season.
