Happy Truck Day! (A Previously Unknown Baseball Holiday)

By The Common Man

Today is Truck Day around the Major Leagues, which is exciting because The Common Man totally forgot that we were celebrating the career of Truck Hannah.

Hannah is one of 15 MLB players born in North Dakota, along with Darin Erstad, Travis Hafner, disgraced former manager Tim Nelson, Rick Helling, and Frank Brosseau (who only pitched 3.2 innings for the Pirates in his career, but TCM played Little League with his son Rick, so perhaps you’ll indulge TCM a little here). 15 guys. From the whole state. It’s cold there.
