Johnny Keane managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 1961-1964 and the New York Yankees from 1965-1966.
There do not appear to be any players with connections to the Twins born on this day. It should be noted that, while Homer Summa is a great name for a ballplayer, he didn't homer very much. He had only 18 career home runs in ten major league seasons. He did, however, have a lifetime batting average of .302. Maybe he should've been named Single Summa.
We also want to wish a happy anniversary to the Dread Pirate and Mrs. Pirate.
