Ted Simmons turns 76 today, which really makes me feel old.

Me too. Good pitcher, stud. Also gave up JR's 500th!

Jason Heyward turns 36. Only one year a Cardinal, but it was a good one.
Matt Morris turns 51. Any of a half-dozen of his Cardinal seasons would have been welcome this year.
I believe it is Julian Javier's birthday as well. Love Hoolie!

According to Bob Gibson in "From Ghetto To Glory", Julian Javier's nickname was "The Phantom". This was because nobody could take him out when he was turning the DP at second.
Happy Birthday to all the former Cardinals mentioned in the thread.
