August 7, 1973 – Danny Graves is born in Saigon, Vietnam, and would become the only Vietnamese-born player to make the big leagues. While pitching for the Cincinnati Reds in 2005, he gave a fan the finger as he was leaving the game because the fan had called him a racist name. Graves was released from the Reds and although he apologized to other fans, he had no remorse about letting one loudmouth know how he felt.
