Let's see who can put together the best team. My Birthday is on October 13th. http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/birthdays.shtml 1b (Ham Patterson) .192 BA, 0HR 2b (Calude Davidson) .205 BA, 0 HR 3b (Eddie Mathews).271 BA, 512 HR ss (Swede Risberg) .246 BA , 6 HR c (Frankie Hayes) .259 BA, 119 HR OF (Lou Clinton) .247 BA, 65 HR OF (Chris Gwynn) .261 BA, 17 HR OF (Ben Pachsal) .309 BA, 24 HR SP (Rube Wadell) 193-143 W-L 2.16 era 2,316 K SP (Dick Pole) 25-37 W-L, 5.05 era, 239 k SP (Bill Donovan) 186-135 W-L, era 2.69, 1,552 K RP (Trevor Hoffman)45-44 W-L 2.78 era 352 sv RP (Randy Moffit) 43-52 W-L 3.56 era 96 sv
Position rule is that a player must have played most games in his career at that position. Otherwise he doesn't count.
My team sucks so hard, there's only one notable, Maury Wills, other than that Oct 2 is a sparse baseball wasteland.
My team wouldn't win the WS... My b-day is July 21, players of note... -C.C. Sabathia -Geoff Jenkins -Dave Henderson -Johnny Evers (HOF)
Mine isn't even worth nothing other than Buck Leonard (negro league 1st basemen) and former Astro Ken Forsch who threw a no-hitter.
September 11th: I have the mightly Ellis Burks, Eduardo Perez and Don Slaught rounding out my lineup. The Grimes Boys (Ray and Roy) give me versatility. Mike DePangher was very underrated also.
C-Mike Matheny 1B- 2B-Wally Backman 3B- SS- OF-Jeffrey Leonard OF-Vince Coleman OF-Lou Johnson SP-Bob Lemon SP-Larry Dierker SP- RP-Mark Guthrie RP Manager-Tommy Lasorda Eh, that's it. My team sucks.
I was born Oct 1, which puts Mark McGwire and hall of famer Rod Carew on my team. Unfortunately, since I don't know squat about baseball, I don't recognize any of the other names so I don't know if my team is good or bad.
I've got (July 19): Rick Ankiel David Segui Preston Wilson Bob Meusel (from the '27 Yankees) Billy Gardner Mark Koenig Jim Donnelly Most everyone else was a one or two game kind of guy.
July 23 1b Lee Dressen .205 0Hr 2b Mack Hillis .243 1Hr 3b Pee Wee Reese with .269 and 126 Hr ss Nomar Garciaparra .323 173 Hr c Jimmie Wilson .284 32 Hr OF Johnny Groth .279 60 Hr OF Ival Goodman .281 95 Hr OF Ginger Beaumont .311 39Hr SP Ray Scarborough 80-85 4.13 ERA 564 SO SP Don Drysdale 209-166 2.95 ERA 2486 SO SP Ed Holley 25-40 4.40 ERA 169 SO RP Chuck Crim 47-43 3.83 ERA 45 Sv RP Johnny James 5-3 4.76 ERA 2 Sv I know Pee Wee Reese played SS, but I didn't have any one with my birthday that played third for the majority of their carrer, so like any good manager I put the best player I had at the position. It's not like he never played there, he logged over 100 games at third.
Barry Bonds...ugh. I share a birthday with Bonds, Karl Malone, and ZRB. I must have pissed off the birthday gods. The McCarthy guy is a Hall of Famer, the rest are nobodys who's only claim to fame is that they played longer than the other nobodys born on July 24th 1st---Preston Ward 2nd--- 3rd--- C----Joe Oliver SS--- OF---Barry Bonds OF---Tommy McCarthy OF---Joe Schultz SP---Jerry Augustine SP---Duane Pillette SP--- RP---Jose Valverde RP---Alex Carrasquel
