Ever wonder if you share your birthday with one of the greatest baseball players of all-time? So do I - all the time! I put together a list of Hall of Famer's birthdays, as well as all of our birthdays here Vintage Breaks, so you can check who you blow candles out with.
Every time I make a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame, I love to learn new facts about the greats of the game. Did you know that players sign the mounts behind their HOF plaques?
You can also take a VIP tour and hold precious artifacts like a Lou Gehrig jersey.
One fun stat I always try to remember - which Hall of Famers and I share a birthday? Bet you've done the same! I put together a list of every HOF'ers birthday, as well as the breakers here at VB, so we can all see which legendary players blow out their birthday candles the same day we do.
Fun game for you - which day has the BEST players born on it? January 31st has both Nolan Ryan and Ernie Banks; that's tough to compete with. September 19th has Duke Snider and Joe Morgan. November 21st has Stan Musial and Ken Griffey Jr. FIVE Hall of Famers were all born on May 14th!

If you want to hop into a break with us and try to pull any of the Hall of Famers you share a birthday way, come check us out at vintagebreaks.com! We break more than baseball; we have all sports, and non-sports! MLB, NBA, Wrestling, Formula 1, Star Wars, and we're even going to start Pokémon breaks! We'd love to have you join.
WHY CHOOSE VINTAGE BREAKS?
Vintage Breaks offers THE BEST VALUE IN BREAKING.
When you check out for a spot on the site, the price you see is the price you pay. Taxes and shipping are included! Your cards always come protected in holders. The last time you mailed a package out had to have set you back more than three bucks, right? If you buy a $3.00 spot, you get your card holdered and shipped for that price.
You NEVER go home empty-handed. You always get your spot! Unlike team breaks or division breaks where other breaking companies may pocket your cash and send the unlucky home without a card, you always get your spot at Vintage Breaks.
Lack of product in stores has been a problem; we see the same empty shelves that you do. Target has paused all card sales! If you can't find cards, Vintage Breaks is your solution!.
FUN! Cards are our passion! Isn't is just more fun to chat with other collectors? Come hang with us and other collectors just like you during our breaks.
Even if you just want to watch the show, chat, and meet new collectors, that's always welcomed!
A Vintage Breaks, we have our main breaking show in New Jersey (The North), to go with our night owls in the South (Georgia), and the West (Arizona). You can always check our CALENDAR to see when we're breaking.
