Among the recent news items was a clip that Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, would celebrate his 49th birthday on Sunday, December 25. That piqued my curiosity a bit and I quickly took a peak to determine who else might have a Christmas Day birthday. That is, those with a recognizable name for me. There were many who had been born on that day but almost all were not part of my memory bank. Two who are known to me are actor Humphrey Bogart and Physicist and Mathematician Sir Isaac Newton.
A case can be made that both of these famous men had a connection to baseball.
