We say happy birthday to Pete Incaviglia, who was born on this day in Long Beach, CA in 1964.
Pete jumped from Oklahoma State to the Texas Rangers in 1986 and hit 30 HR & 88 RBI as a rookie. Pete became a real fan favorite on that Texas team that challenged the Angels to the AL West title.
He hit another 27 the next year and 124 HR in 5 seasons with Texas. Pete was traded to Detroit and bounced around a few teams. In 1993, Pete hit 24 HR with the NL champion Phillies.
As I recall, he hit long home runs.
