One of the oddest details in the Gregorian calendar occurs on Thursday -- leap day, an extra day that occurs at the end of February every four years.

There are 50 current and former players across the NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL/WNBA that were born on leap day, notably Tyrese Haliburton (NBA), Eric Kendricks (NFL), Darryl Williams (MLB) and Simon Gagne (NHL), according to ESPN Stats and Information.

Of the nine NHL players born on leap day, Gagne became the only player to score on his birthday, in 2004.
