I can't believe someone beat me to 12/28. BJ Ryan and Bill Hall are active players I basically enjoy as well.

Ivey Wingo, Reds backstop, of the championship 1919 world series team. John Bowker, who is .364/.400/.864 career. Clearly both awesome players! Also, Alan Ashby who caught a record 3 no-hitters, that must require some skill!

Early Wynn the only January 6er of note, followed not-so-closely by Norm Charlton and Ralph Branca. "Active" players include Casey Fossum and Scott Thorman. Eww.
