If Your Birthday is March 25th

...you share it with a player you've likely never heard of before: reliever Kirby Yates. He pitched for the Rays in parts of the last two seasons, was sold to the Indians and then moved to the Yankees for cash last winter. Not much of a resume, but he's been impressive so far in Grapefruit League play for the Yankees. He's unscored on in four appearances, including March 8th, when I saw him work against the Cardinals.
Yates, whose older brother Tyler pitched for the Mets, Braves and Pirates during the 2000's, is one of just three major league players ever born on the Hawaiian island of Kauai (the others are Tyler and former Reds and Pirates hurler Steve Cooke).
Want some better known members of the March 25th birthday club? There's Lee Mazzilli, who starred for the Mets during their dark years of the late '70s and early '80s and returned to Flushing as a top pinch hitter on their '86 champions; Mariners catcher Mike Zunino; and infielder Jeff Kunkel, whose father Bill both pitched and umpired in the majors. There's also the lone Hall of Famer born on this date: Tom Glavine, who won 305 games in his 22 seasons with the Braves and Mets.
