No major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day. We do come close, though, with Hal Woodeshick, who played for Washington in 1960, but then was chosen by the new Washington in the expansion draft in 1961. We also come close with Reid Santos (1982), who pitched for Rochester in 2009 but did not make the big leagues.
