Trying to catch up here:
December 20 noted the birthdates of Fred Merkle (1888), Gabby Hartnett (1900; Gabby Hartnett: The Life and Times of the Cubs’ Greatest Catcher) and David Wright (1982; Mets Pride: For the Love of Mookie, Mike, and David Wright
).
Andy Van Slyke turns the big 5-oh today. Odd that his name appears as author of The Curse: Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Or Do They? and Tigers Confidential: The Untold Inside Story of the 2008 Season
, two teams he didn’t play for.
