Happy Birthday to my friends Suzy and Robin, and to erstwhile Rangers pitchers Logan Verrett (9 innings) and Bruce Chen (10 innings), and to Dirk Nowitzki, who turns 37 today.
Logan (righthander) and Robin (defensive end) both played at Baylor, 20 years apart.
Suzy and Bruce played for a combined 11 big league franchises.
Me and Dirk? We have sons named Max.
There are so many other things Dirk and I have in common:
- One sister
- Rangers fan
- Radiohead
- Lifelong friendship with Grubes
- One-legged fadeaway [except for me]
And now the list grows by one.
