Mine is interesting to pro wrestling fans: 1969 – Michael DiBiase, American pro wrestler (b. 1923). He’s the adoptive father of “The Million Dollar Man”, Ted DiBiase. ---

[Lefty Grove](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefty_Grove), the great baseball pitcher. Oddly enough there seem to be no notable births (besides myself) or major events on May 22, 1975. ---

> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > How does one search that?

I was born the day after two famous assassins were executed, and the day before a prominent Republican politician was born. ETA: But no one died on my exact birthday. 😛 ---

Ah but this case is different. Our reincarnatees are all _Dopers_. So they’ve come up in the world. ---
