Mets who share your birthday

[Guest OlerudOwned]

File this under: Bored, Very.
And hopefully its baseball enough for this part of the forum.

Anyway, using this, find the Mets sharing your birthday.

My turnout, Jan. 11:

Jim McAndrew

The Underwhelming Jermaine Allensworth

Danny "Before My Time But Apparently Known As A Really Ugly Dude" Napoleon

Dan Norman

This will soon be followed by "Mets with Similar Social Sec. #s to You" and "Mets who share your PIN number".

Here's my list, I think he's the only one that was a Met...

No Mets; Jim Rice and Dick Allen are the biggest non-Met baseball names on my birthday list.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I struck out

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I share a birthday with Dyar Miller and Toby Borland.

Another way to play this game is to see which Met was born closest to your date of birth.

I was born in 1963, just two days after Edwin Nu�ez, whose name came up around here just a few days ago.

[MFS62]

Current Met Heath Bell.
Don't know of any past Mets, because I never thougt it important enough to look up.

Later

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I share a birthday with only one Met: Ken Singleton, who also, is probably the best player in bb history with that birthdate (although you could make a case for Jack Graney, who played in the teens and 20s for the seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians", or maybe Freddy Garcia.

The Mets born closest to my birthdate are Bill Spiers (5 days older) and Dave Lidell (5 days younger).

To my knowledge the athlete born closest our birthdates is Mike Tyson (2 days).

Former Brooklyn Dodger Steve Lembo and Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan both died on my birthday.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets born on my birthday: Kevin Brown (1990 Mets, born exactly one year prior to me in 1966), Tucker Ashford (1983 Mets, born 1954), and Stan Jeferson (1986 Mets, born 1962 in New York).

Other big-league notables born on my birthday:Hall-of-Famer Sam Thompson (1860). Also Lee Smith (1957) and Paul Konerko (1976).

I was born 11 days before Don Florence, and so our lives are linked.

Tucker Ashford and Stan Jefferson celebrate their birthdays today, in fact. Which I do too, as it happens--Stan and I are exactly the same age, but he got all the breaks.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Francinsense (sp.) and Myrrh (sp.) for all. Today is Jesus's brithday!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Happy birthday.

Guess I looked at the wrong page.

I do have Kevin Brown, though, along with Les Rohr and Larry Elliott.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Happy Birthday DJ!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And, now that I've read this in detail, Happy Birthday Edgy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, thanks. That was an error. I mistakenly had two pages open. One for my day, and one for today, and included players from both days.

I was born on a chill day in early spring. Frost was still on the mountain grass. The geese had begun re-arriving. Australian destroyers were attached to the US seventh fleet in Viet Nam, as Dr. Martin Luther King protested against that war, his first anti-war march.

Tiddlywinks had completed it's evolution into its modern form. The Mets had just begun their spring training schedule with a young righthander from Southern California named George Feaver.

Jackie Wilson and his drummer and friend Jimmie Smith were arrested in a South Carolina motel on "morals charges." They were aparrently entertaining caucasian women in some capacity.

Ted Kennedy hadn't yet disgraced himself and it was still OK, if somewhat clich�d for an Irish Catholic family to name their fourth child Edward and nickname him Teddy. That didn't last long.

It was in this historical cauldron that I first saw the light in this fallen world.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Fine. Pass the cake along to DJ.

[dinosaur jesus]

Thanks, guys

On the date of my birth, the Rangers blew by the Bruins 4-1 to reach the Stanley Cup finals.

In exhibition baseball, Carl Hubbell led the Giants past the Brooklyn Dodgers. Johnny Dickshot went 0-2 for the Terrymen.

The Yanks lost 3-2 to the New Orleans Pelicans, despite 3 hits, including a triple, by Joe DiMaggio. Almost all the Pelicans had such long names that they were abbrevieated in the box score and I'm not quite sure who they all were, but future major leaguers included Carden Gillenwater and Pete Coscarart. During the game, the PA announcer had to ask three fans to remove their cars from a nearby railroad track so that a train could get by.

Burgess Meredith and Ingrid Bergman opened on Broadway in Liliom (later to become Carousel).
