Predictably, there are fewer major league players born on this day than any other (16). The only active player born on this day is Bligh Madris, an outfielder/first baseman with the Tigers. No players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day.
February 28, 2024: Sad Dads
I see The National and The War On Drugs are going on tour together (not MN though; start planning that Madison road trip). Guessing that checks a few citizens' boxes.
