Happy Birthday to Dave “Boo” Ferriss, Red Sox pitching legend and Delta State coaching icon! He also pitched a shutout in his debut.

Happy Birthday to Harry "Suitcase" Simpson, born December 3, 1925! A versatile player in the 1950s, he earned his nickname from a comic character, not his many team changes. The player and the comic shared oversized feet.

On this day in 1971, at the Winter Meetings, the Dodgers and Orioles completed a blockbuster trade: Doyle Alexander and three others went to Baltimore, while Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and pitcher Pete Richert headed to Los Angeles.

Happy birthday to Cookie Lavagetto! The man who broke up Bill Bevens' no-hitter in the '47 World Series with a legendary pinch-hit double.
