Any kind soul want to make a list of all RBI'ers birthdays? If not, maybe pick one team and research for me. Yes I am lazy, but I'd like to update the main page everytime there's a birthday. So pick your favorite team/players, go to baseball reference and post a few bdays. Thanks...
I had a bit of free time this morning, so I'll help you out. In addition to birthdays, I'm listing where they were born (cool to know if an RBI'er was born in your town...or close to it). Plus, I'm listing whether they are still available for sponsorship at this point, so you can sponsor your favorite RBI player on Baseball-Reference.com. I included the price of sponsorship by the asterisk.

This is depressing--Keith Hernandez is in his 50's???
Well done gentlemen! Rob Wilfong for a ten-spot is most tempting. I wonder if they have $5 pages anymore...
Yeah, Al Pedrique is $5, I'm considering sponsoring him since I figure a lot of people playing RBI have to wonder who the hell he is.
I may also go after Tony Armas ($15) probably another good one for an RBI link.
Those are two good ones...
OK, I went ahead and sponsored Pedrique:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/pedrial01.shtml (http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/pedrial01.shtml)
Quality, Gantry...quality job.
Yet again, I am stunned by the (lack of) statistics of an RBI legend..."And Betty if you call me, you can call me" Al didn't even have one full season's worth of stats for his entire career...
Man, that guy was bad. And not in a Michael Jackson sorta way--well, I guess, sorta...it's tough to know what that means these days. :-\
Not to mention Al's Height and Weight
Height 6' 0", Weight 155 lb.
That's skinny for anybody, but that's miniature for a professional baseball player

Thanks Lips!
And also Dee-Nee to ericdavisfan for starting this thread. Otherwise I would have never known I shared a birthday with these two RBI legends.
Doyle was born in Cordova AZ. I've lived in AZ for 20 years and I have no fucking clue where that is. Gonna have to make a trip, I suppose.
Here it is...NL All-Stars...I'll let someone else tackle the arcade players:

I'm a little shocked that Fernando and Sutcliffe have no love here!!
Nice job on the birthdays EDFan
A super thanks to both EDfan for the lists and ultimate7 for linking to dee-nee! Haven't checked this thread lately...
Baines may share two birthdays with RBI'ers but my old man shares a birthday with the real Harold Baines....
Lips and Jimmy Key - I'm not seeing it. Guess we need to play more All Star games...
<outrageous-request>
Now what you need to do is put all those into a DB referenced by the main page, so that when we open up Dee-Nee.com, there's a message saying "RBI-ers birthdays today: Ryne Sandberg, Greg Gagne" (or whatever)
</outrageous-request>
No way dude, that's too high tech for dee-nee.com - it's all about painstakingly slow, hand-edited html around these parts. But how's this?
http://dee-nee.com/rbi/birthdays.shtml (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/birthdays.shtml)
How about updating the main page?
The list is impressive. One nitpick - Bedrosian and Sheridan are out of order (Bedrosian, at 12/6, is listed before Sheridan, who's at 12/4). Otherwise, that's good enough for me.

Closest R.B.I. birthdays to October 29th:
Roy Smalley, Oct. 25th and Matt Nokes, Oct. 31st
Not crazy about either player.
