An aside to this thread, President Kennedy's father, Joe Kennedy was also born on September 6.

Forgot to mention, while not athletes, there were two MLB owners (at the same time) who were both born on 7/4, one year apart

George Steinbrenner and Peter Angelos

Most notable about my birthday is the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald...

In the early to mid-2030s scouts should look out for prospects from Donora— 49 years from 1969 (when Ken Griffey Jr. was born) was 2018, and that's when someone born in 2018 would be in high school and college.

October 30th baby!

- Ed Delahanty (HOF)

- Bill Terry (HOF)

- Cale Makar (lock for HOF unless he gets hit by a bus)

- Marcus Mariota (Heisman)

- Jim Perry (Cy Young)

- Joe Adcock (Braves HOF)

- Jim Ray Hart (first ballot inductee in the HOF of three-named guys)

- Buck Freeman (WS champ)

- Danny Tartabull (-18.4 career dWAR!)

- Mark Portugal (career ERA+ of exactly 100! OMG!)

- Some guy named Maradona...

A career 100 ERA+? That's a perfect score ERA!

Not sure I'd want the same birthday of Wander Franco.  May have destroyed his career by having sex with a 14 year old girl, nothing to brag about for sure!!  Thats all I have to say!
