Obviously this will apply to folks who were born in the months during a baseball season.

List Birthdate

Who the Dodgers played against.

The Final Score

WP and LP

As much summary of the game as you can and any interesting facts about the players in the game

I'll Start off.

July 20th 1984

Dodgers fell 10 to 5 to the Cardinals at Busch.

Fernando gave up 4 ER

Kurt Kepshire (Who?) got the win for St Louis.

Looks like it was a sloppy one. 3 Errors for the Dodgers, 1 for the Cards.

Future Pirate teammates came on as Pinch Hitters for the opposing teams Sid Bream (LA) and Andy Van Slyke (StL)

Bream's future Braves Teammate Terry Pendleton was also out there for the Cards

The Wizard did not play.

Bruce Sutter pitched in relief.

4-4 on the birthdays in my family

4-0 on my parents’ b-days (two doubleheaders, one against the Cubs, another the Reds).
0-4 on my and my two brothers (against the Cardinals, Astros, and a doubleheader against the Expos).

Interestingly, none were played at Dodger Stadium.

A great day!

The Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Braves 3-2 in the first game of a best-of-three playoff for the NL Pennant.

It was spring training in 1976

on March 28, but longtime actor Richard Arlen died on that day, and he’s buried at the same cemetery as Walter O’Malley, so that’s something.

The two times I have been to spring training (once in Vero, once in AZ) I have seen the Dodgers play on my birthday. They are 1-1.

The Irony Here Is Too Much

On the day I entered the world at UC San Francisco, the Dodgers lost nine miles away at Candlestick Park to SF 5-8 with three errors in front of a whopping 13,872 on their way to getting swept for the series.

Grrrrrrrr.

Steve Garvey went 2 for 4 with a double and home rum. Thanks Steve.

Al Downing with an ERA of 2.92 gave up 8 earned runs (Al, it was my birthday you jerk) and lost to Randy Moffitt who picked up his only win of the season on his way to going 1-5 that season, (had to be that day didn’t it Randy?).

Bonds grrrrr (Bobby) went 1 for 5.

. . . and SF sucked that year (more than usual)

God, I hate the giants!
