If Your Birthday is November 13th...

...you share it with the player swinging at this ball, Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera.

Of the 57 major leaguers born on this date, the Venezuela native has played the most games (1382), hit the most home runs (139) and driven in the most runs (630). And he'll have the chance to increase those totals in 2018, since the Mets recently picked up the option year on his contact.

Maybe you're wondering why I chose this picture. Shot at 1/1250th of a second, it caught the stitches on this foul ball Cabrera hit in a game June 30th. While the ball went foul, the image was a hit -- it was just the right moment to capture those red stitches.
