A backup catcher, Donnie got his first taste of the Major Leagues with the Texas Rangers in 1983 appearing in two games as a September call-up. He caught half a seasons worth of games with the 1984 Rangers and 1985 Seattle Mariners. He returned to the Minors until 1991 when again was a September call-up and played his final ten games with the Cincinnati Reds. Donnie Scott turns 65 today.
The frontman to my favorite group! I’ve seen Counting Crows almost every year since seeing them open for The Rolling Stones in 1994 on the Voodoo Lounge tour. Anyone else collect signed concert tickets?!
Bryn pitched for nine seasons in Montreal with the Expos and still ranks among the top ten in franchise history in several categories. A control pitcher, he led the National League in fewest walks per nine innings in 1988 with 1.5. He also recorded the first win in Colorado Rockies history, ironically against his former Montreal team. Bryn Smith turns 71 today.
