Baseball Players Born On Thanksgiving
Using the data from here and here, I was able to identify some of the baseball players born since 1900 and who were actually born on the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Here they are:
Tommy McCraw
Denny Riddleberger
Ricky Ledée
Yusmeiro Petit
Billy Rogell
Rafael Santo Domingo
José López
Jarrod Parker
Bob Finley
Randy Veres
Tavo Álvarez
Lefty Gomez
Ed Weiland
Mike Moore
Cal Howe
John Harrell
Mike Scioscia
Tim Laker
Chris Eddy
Lynn King
Russ Meers
Pat Rooney
Walt Weiss
Scott Sheldon
Terry Burrows
Pedro Astacio
Bill Currie
Of course, some of these players were not born in the United States – and, the Thanksgiving Holiday means nothing in their place of birth.
But, in any event, there are your “20th Century Thanksgiving Baby All-Stars.” Gobble, gobble…
