Let's not forget the only two MLB players in the last 30 years to be leap day babies, who coincidentally share an apropos surname....

Former Cubs & White Sox pitcher Bill Long (1960), and former A's outfielder Terrence Long (1976)....

We had two leap day babies working at the Wal a few years ago at the same time... both born in 1980.

One of them was Sister #2's best friend throughout school. She got married four years ago.... on February 28th! Why she didn't consider going for the 2/29 double play I have no idea....
