It’s no secret that the St. Louis Cardinals had an interest in signing Ernie Banks when he was still playing for the Kansas City Monarchs. The Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer is one of three Hall of Famers to be born on January 31st, along with the pioneering Jackie Robinson and strikeout king Nolan Ryan.

Quincy Trouppe's Career Not About Numbers
The official record shows that Quincy Trouppe had a brief and thoroughly unmemorable career.
The Georgia-born backstop opened the 1952 season as a member of the Cleveland Indians and appeared in only six games before being demoted. He finished out the campaign with the organization's Indianapolis farm club (mentoring young pitchers such as Herb Score) and never again appeared in organized baseball.
