Yeah it’s just a joke. Well at least a Bieber was born on my birthday. Not Shane the pitcher but Justin the singer.

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!

This reminds me of that one Super Bowl where both starting quarterbacks had the same birthday (but born in different years). Can anyone here name that Super Bowl and the two starting quarterbacks? ------------------------------- My hobby blog: www.stadiumfantasium.com: Baseball, baseball cards and fantasy baseball.

Pro-Football Reference tells me it's Super Bowl XII--Roger Staubach and Craig Morton with birthdays on Feb. 5.

Totally correct (and Feb. 5th is also Hank Aaron's birthday)! And yet I did not know about that Super Bowl. There is another Super Bowl that had two starting QBs with the same birthday that I had in mind...
