Today is November 10th! Good morning!
Shawn Green turns 53 today! Green was a long time Dodgers outfielder who played for the Mets in 2006 and 2007. During game one of the NLDS, Green started the 9-4-2 double play when Paul Lo Duca tags out two at the plate.
Kenny Rogers turns 61 today. The left handed pitcher was the losing pitcher in game six of the 1999 NLCS. I will not discuss this any further.
