One of the coolest things I ever attempted at ESPN.com was the This Date In History Page, which never actually made it to the site. Fortunately, no one has deleted it yet.

Thats top notch BH.

For football I share:
Gale Sayers
Joe Namath

Decent OF of:
Manny Ramirez
Kenny Lofton
Dave Roberts

Lofton and Roberts have enough speed to cover for Manny sitting in his barkolounger.

Let not forget basketball legends:
Radoslav Nesterovic
Evan Eschmeyer

Hockey:
Well, I couldn't tell you who is any good, well, because its hockey.

You also share a birthday with my grandmother. I hear she could school you.

The best hockey player there is Jason Allison. He's decent. And how could you forget Carmelo Anthony? He might be the best on the list...

Sweet bh. Some of these I knew already from football cards (Bradshaw, Dickerson) but many I didn't. I definitely have an all-pro caliber football team!

1948 Nate Archibald (basketball)
1948 Terry Bradshaw (football)
1952 Jimmy Connors (tennis)
1960 Eric Dickerson (football)
1966 Tim Hardaway (basketball)
1967 Luis Gonzalez (baseball)
1973 Zach Thomas (football)
1974 Jason Taylor (football)
1975 Cuttino Mobley (basketball)
1979 Brian Westbrook (football)
1981 Travaris Robinson (football)
1981 Clinton Portis (football)

I included Robinson, who I've never heard of, for some odd reason ;-)

Oddly, there isn't a SINGLE notable athlete born on the exact same date as I. I guess that's why I wasn't destined, eh? Bernie Williams and Mike Piazza were both born within 1 week of me. To this day I keep remembering to ask the Big Guy when I see him some day why *I* didn't get that talent.

Hmmm...might have a slight bug in your coding...Eddie Griffin (and Evan Eschmeyer amoung others) are showing on both the May 30th and 31st. Maybe tall guys just take longer to come out of the womb...

Hmmm...
Melo was born May 29th.
Eddie Griffin...May 30th.
His RadNes...May 30th.

I'm getting sadder and more lonely on May 31st by the minute.

Talk about a tiny number where I actually know the names.
1955 Bill Elliott (auto racing)
1958 Mike Singletary (football)
1959 Tommy Armour III (golf)
1965 Matt Biondi (olympics)
1970 Kenny Anderson (basketball)
1970 Annika Sorenstam (golf)
1970 Olmedo Saenz (baseball)
1972 Roman Oben (football)
1974 Rashaan Salaam (football)
1976 Amos Zereoue (football)
1978 Juan Dixon (basketball)
1980 Mike Scifres (football)
1981 Darius Miles (basketball)
1981 Shane Olivea (football)

mine is a whole list of "Who??" and "oh yea. Warrick Dunn and Alex English...woohooo..."

i'm pretty sure Don Gullett was born on my birthday, but i don't see him listed.

i do like that Jackie Robinson retired on my birthday, "to become a vice-president with Chock Full O' Nuts"...

and Pete Maravich died on my bday. i knew that too...
