Former Red Sox Third Baseman, Frank Malzone was born on this day in 1930.
Malzone was a terrific player who was with the Red Sox from 1955-1965, playing his final year for the Angels in 1966. He was an 8 time All Star, 3 time Gold Glove winner and was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1995.
This 8 time All-Star is well deserving of the Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day. Casey Stengel provides Malzone with quite a compliment
"Never saw anything like that fella since I saw that other fella---Pie Traynor."
--Casey Stengel, talking about Frank Malzone
