On my birthday, January 31, 1971, The Hall of Fame Special Veterans Committee selects seven men for enshrinement: former players Jake Beckley, Joe Kelley, Harry Hooper, Rube Marquard, Chick Hafey, Dave Bancroft, and executive George Weiss. Baseball fan that I am, I’m rather pleased that the first Google hit on my birthday was baseball-related. The second Google hit said that the Apollo 14 mission was launched that day as well…I like space science as well. Cool. ---
