2006 Bowman Heritage Mini #221 Craig Hansen

You would think, with as many baseball players that have been born over the years, that there would be at least one big name player born on each day of the year. Not so, which is why I'm using Craig Hansen, Red Sox 1st round pick in 2005 for today.

1994 Upper Deck All-Time Heroes #11 Roy Campanella

Born in 1921 in Philadelphia Campy graduated from Simon Gratz High School. All the cool cats went to Simon Gratz, or so I heard when I lived in Philly. Campy played for the Dodgers from 1948 to 1957. His career was cut short on 1/28/58 when he was paralyzed as the result of an automobile accident. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1969. He died in 1993.
