All the Dates from Across the Years

The Across the Years insert set takes a look at the noteworthy events that happened on the exact date the featured player was born, plus events from the same date in other years.  It's an interesting concept, and its a concept done in a similar way in the 2010 Ginter insert set This Date In History.

 I went through all 100 cards and wrote down the date the card featured.  I was curious to see if there were any on my birthday or the birthday of anyone in my family.

 
Andre Ethier share a birthday with Mrs. WW, though she was born a few year before he was.


Will Middlebrooks and WW Jr. share a birthday, but Middlebrooks is 11 years older than WW Jr.


As for me, the closest to my birthday is Bob Gibson, who's birthday is two day before mine.


The card that came closest to the actual day I was born is Tony Gwynn, who was born six months before I was.

Curious to see if you share a birthday with any of these dates Across the Years?  I can help.

Two lists are below.  The first is sorted by the dates, without regard to the year.  The second list goes in chronological order for all the dates.

Anyone born on the same day or date as any of these ballplayers?

    I have the same birthdate as Starlin Castro, though I'm 18 years older -- which makes me 83 days older than Pettitte, who has the closest birthday to me.

    Frank Thomas is one of my favorite birthday boys. I will have to grab that card.

    The closest to my actual date of birth is the David Ortiz (he is 6 months younger than me). Ortiz and I are about the same height and weight too. That is where the similarities end.
