If Your Birthday is November 13th...

 
...you share it with Brett Baty.  The Mets 1st round draft pick in 2019 has developed in a versatile infielder, spending time at 1st, 2nd and 3rd base.  But stardom has eluded him -- and in 2026, he took a step backward, as all his offensive numbers dropped.

Asdrubal Cabrera spent 15 seasons in the majors: the first eight in Cleveland, before making stops with the Mets (seen here in 2016), Nationals (where he played on their 2019 champs), Rays, Rangers, Phillies, D'backs and Reds.  The switch hitter had good power for a middle infielder, homering 195 times, including a pair of games with the Mets where he cleared the fences both left- and right-handed.  

Let's also remember a pair of legends born on November 13th:

Mel Stottlemyre, the Yankees ace between Ford and Guidry, the stellar rookie whose nine wins the final two months of the 1964 helped nail down the club's final pennant of the decade.  His second baseball chapter was even more impressive, as pitching coach for World Series champions with both New York clubs.  This image is from 2015, at the dedication of his plaque in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park.

Buck O'Neil, the Negro Leagues star and executive who became the first Black coach in MLB and was influential in the Cubs signing Ernie Banks and developing him into a Hall of Fame talent.  Prominently featured in Ken Burns' acclaimed 1994 Baseball documentary, he was posthumously inducted into Cooperstown in 2022.
