Walt Burham was a minor league manager from
1885-1907, winning 1,164 games.
Outfielder Herman Wedemeyer played for Class
C Salt Lake City in 1950. He was a star running back in the
All-America Football Conference and later appeared in over 300 episodes of the
original Hawaii Five-O, playing Sergeant Edward “Duke” Lukela.
Right-hander Tom Morgan was with Washington
at the end of 1960, appearing in fourteen games with them. On January 31,
1961, before the franchise played a game in Minnesota, he was sold to the Los
Angeles Angels.
Sadaharu Oh hit 868 home runs in Japan.
Outfielder Ralph Bryant was drafted by
Minnesota in the thirteenth round of the January draft in 1981, but he did not
sign.
This is not connected to the Twins or
baseball in any way we're aware of, but we'd like to wish a happy 90th birthday
to Bud Grant.
There do not appear to be
any other major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins born on
this day.
