FRENCHY BORDAGARY BASEBALL BIRTHDAY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Frenchy Bordagary was born on this day in 1910. He was one of the true characters of his era. He played from 1934--1945 for several teams including the Brooklyn Dodgers.

He was a good ballplayer but he was known more for his off field activities. He was an actor in the off season and a very funny guy. He created a lot of controversy back in the day by sporting a mustache.

His wit is on full display in the Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day,

"It was more than I expectorated."
--on being fined fifty dollars for spitting.
