If Your Birthday is January 17th...

...you share it with Trevor Bauer. One of the Indians crew of quality young starters, he won 12 games during the 2016 regular season, but lost both his starts in the World Series. With training camps opening three weeks from now, you can bet that he and his teammates, having missed a title by what amounts to one inning and one rally, will be even more focused on getting back to the fall classic and changing that outcome.

While no Baseball Hall of Famers were born on this date, there are some notable names linked to January 17th:

Emmauel Burris (seen right:), the veteran utilityman who spent 2016 with the Phillies.

Brad Fullmer, a power-hitting 1st baseman with the Expos, Blue Jays and Angels, whose most famous play was stealing home in game two of the 2002 World Series was the first in 38 years -- since Tim McCarver in 1964.

Chili Davis, who belted 350 home runs in his 19 year career and is now one of the game's most respecting hitting coaches.

Pete LaCock, the 1st baseman-son of game show legend Peter Marshall, who was born in (Beautiful Downtown) Burbank, the town where his dad worked at NBC Studios, hosting Hollywood Squares.

Don Zimmer, whose amazing 65 years in baseball spanned the iconic Brooklyn Dodgers, the inept expansion 1962 Mets and the industrious Joe Torre/Derek Jeter Yankees dynasty. The last member of the Brooklyn Dodgers to wear a major league uniform was also the last Cincinnati Red to wear number 14 before Pete Rose. Zim was the only man to be in uniform for all three perfect games in Yankees history. He was in the opponents' dugout when Don Larsen threw his against Brooklyn in the 1956 World Series and was on Joe Torre's staff when David Wells ('98) and David Wells ('99) pitched theirs. A student of the game, he became Torre's trusted bench coach, the Yoda of the last Yankee dynasty.
