Here's a random question: what does Stan Musial have in common with Ken Griffey, Jr.? A lot of things, actually.
First of all, the two have the same birthday: November 21st. Musial was born in 1920 and Griffey, Jr. was born in 1969 (and Hall of Famer Freddie Lindstrom was also born on 11/21/1905). Oh, but it gets weirder. The two also share a hometown, Donora, Pennsylvania, a town with less than 5,000 residents. Oh, but it gets even weirder than that! Stan Musial's nickname is "Stan the Man" and Ken Griffey, Jr.'s nickname is "The Kid!" This must be the most coincidental piece of information in not just baseball history, but sports history! I can't believe that some little Pennsylvanian town gave the MLB two stars on the same date! Super crazy!
Well kids, if you want your child to be a baseball legend, make sure he's born on November 21 in Donora, Pennsylvania. Thanks for reading this post and I hope you enjoyed it. Check back soon for more of "all the buzz on what wuzz."
