Nellie Briles, 1991 Crown/Coca-Cola All-Time Orioles #52

Happy 27th birthday to me! But I like to share the wealth, so I'll also be wishing happy birthday to several MLB players of past and present who had the good sense to be born on August 5:

  1. "way back" Wasdin is a shame, but made all the better by the inclusion of the very classy John Olerud. Bernie Carbo and Tommy Aaron are pretty nice as well.

    I get Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell and Todd Hundley to share my birthday, along with the weirdest list of NFL players you ever saw.

  5. Max - Thanks! As for John Wasdin, I believe ESPN's Bill Simmons used to call him "the Blair Wasdin Project". A dated joke now, but gets the point across. He was an Oriole for a blink.

    Brian - Haha, you can say that again. Oh well, with Olerud, Crawford, and Mulder, I have 1/3 of a good lineup.

    Jim - I'll drink to that.
