This Date in History...

Happy 48th (so-called) birthday, Julio Franco. When I was learning baseball in the mid-1980s, you were on my Cleveland Indians, and thanks to you, there is still a player in Major League Baseball who was playing when I started collecting baseball cards. I still admire the geri-curl you rocked on the 1987 cards....

Feliz cumpleanos, Julio, from me and millions of baseball fans from the past and present.
