The birthday boy

If you are so inclined, hoist a cold one today to celebrate the 133rd anniversary of the birth of Bud Weiser, an outfielder with the National League pennant-winning Philadelphia Phillies of 1915 whose baseball career neared its end in the minors with the Harrisburg Senators in 1925.

In case you are wondering about the name, the pride of Shamokin, Pa., was born Harry Budson Weiser.
