Jimmie Reese played in the majors only briefly, but was a coach in the majors or minors for most of his life. He was Babe Ruth's roommate for a short period and uttered the famous line that in reality, he roomed with Babe Ruth's suitcase. He is also remembered for his skill with a fungo bat, to the extent that he would sometimes pitch batting practice with it.
October 1 takes over the lead for most Twins birthdays with nine.
We would also like to wish Beau a very happy birthday.
