Marcus Lawton is the brother of Matt Lawton. He played in ten games for the Yankees in 1989.
I am annually saddened that there has never been a major league player named Ham Fast. There was Darcy Fast, who appeared in eight games for the Cubs in 1968 and later became a pastor. There have been six players with the first name of Ham, most notably Ham Hyatt, who was a reserve for seven seasons from 1909-1918, mostly with Pittsburgh.

Kevin Cooney (1950)
Matt Clement (1974)
Lew Ford (1976)
Zach Cosart (1985)
Chris Owings (1991)
A notoriously bad hitter, even for a pitcher, Bob Buhl had a lifetime average of .089 and went the entire 1962 season without getting a hit (0-for-70). Oddly, he equaled his career high in walks that year with six, which goes to show something or other.
Kevin Cooney was an eleventh round draft choice of the Twins in 1972. He pitched in the Twins’ organization for two seasons, then a shoulder injury ended his playing career. He then became a college baseball coach. He was the head coach at Montclair State from 1984-1987 and at Florida Atlantic from 1988-2008.
We would like to wish a happy birthday to MagUidhir's niece and nephew.
