If Your Birthday is December 6th


You share it with White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton. The speedy lead-off man has really blossomed since coming to Chicago before the 2014, hitting .280 or better and twice leading the American League in triples.
He shares his birthday with these other baseball names:

  • Mike Mayers, a rookie pitcher who made his debut with the 2016 Cardinals.
  • Jose Contreras, the Cuban expat who never quite lived up to the hype after signing with the Yankees. After being traded to the White Sox, he enjoyed his best season in 2005 when he won 15 as the club won its first World Series since 1917.
  • Steve Bedroisian, the relief ace for the Braves, Phillies (where he won the 1987 NL Cy Young Award), Giants and Twins (where he earned a ring as a member of their 1991 World Champs). His son followed him into the "family business." Cam Bedrosian has been an Angels reliever the past three seasons.
  • Larry Bowa, considered too small to make it in baseball, he played over 2000 games in the majors and was a five-time all-star with the Phillies. He's since enjoyed a long career as a coach and managed the Padres and Phillies.
  • Tim Foli, the well-traveled infielder began his career as a Mets 1st round draft pick; was one of the players traded to the Expos for Rusty Staub; later returned to the Mets in the late '70s; and became one of the select circle who've appeared for both the Mets and Yankees -- he was a bench player on the '84 Yanks.

Rare Remnant of a Lost Ballpark

When the subject of baseball in Brooklyn comes up, the discussion centers around Ebbets Field, the Flatbush venue most famously home to The Boys of Summer.  Those legendary 1940s and '50s teams that featured such historic and beloved players as Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges. Ebbets Field hosted its last major league game in 1957 and was torn down during the winter of 1960. But decades earlier, just before World War One, the Dodgers were based in the Park Slope area and played at Washington Park.  Once they moved out, the land was occupied by another stadium, which housed a different franchise.  The upstart Federal League, which played in the 1914 and '15 seasons, had a Brooklyn team called the TipTops.  Owned by a local baking magnate Robert Ward, whose company produced TipTop bread, the club took over the abandoned lot along 3rd Avenue and built a new brick and steel venue. The only no-hitter in the Federal League's two...

Will He Wear Zero in the Bronx?

Image
The Yankees bolstered their starting rotation with Thursday's signing of Marcus Stroman .  The Long Island native, who spent 2019 and '21 with the Mets before moving onto the Cubs, brings a 77-76 career record to the Bronx, along with a recent loyalty to uniform number (?) zero.  If he requests that, he'd become the third Yank to wear it, following the path of Adam Ottavino and Domingo German.  Of course, neither of their Yankee tenures ended all that well -- Ottavino struggled badly in 2020, before reviving his career with the Red Sox and Mets; German's alcohol and domestic violence issues sabotaged such Yankee highlights as last year's perfect game. Can a number truly be lucky? You can understand kids in little league or high school ball wanting to wear 2 in honor of Derek Jeter or 7 for Mickey Mantle.  But is there an heroic ballplayer associated with 0?  The closest I recall comes from pro football, where the Oakland Raiders Hall of Fame center Jim Otto wore...
