Turning 64 today is Soft Cell instrumentalist Dave Ball. So, here’s Tainted Love.

Also, today is a happy 64th birthday for Tony Arnold, who made 38 relief appearances for the Orioles between 1986 and 1987. Today’s only other 64th birthday among the four major sports is former Arizona State running back Alvin Moore, which is not to slight Moore because he played five seasons in the NFL, it’s just that those five seasons were split between three franchises in four cities: the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts, the Detroit Lions, and the Seattle Seahawks.

So, those who remember Moore, likely do so for his time with the Sun Devils, not necessarily the six carries for 15 yards, plus an eight-yard reception, against the Jets on Thanksgiving in 1985. Same for Arnold and Texas Longhorns baseball, but he had the single MLB team, also in Baltimore, albeit not at the same time as Moore. Have they ever had a birthday party together? Maybe they can get in touch today.
