Birthdays are important. This has been established. That’s why MLB.com has a story for every day on the calendar, with the best players born on each day.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame has more than 300 inductees, including those who have gone in as players, managers, pioneers/executives and umpires. Of all days on the calendar, 86 have at least two Hall of Famers, 19 of those have at least three and five have at least four – with just the one date having more than four, at six.
But that’s all just about month and day. How about actual birthday twins, that share the birth month, day and year? There’s just one pair of Hall of Famers born on the exact same day, and it was 55 years ago.
