Who are the best players born on each day of the year? We have a list for every day on the calendar.

Here is a mostly objective, somewhat subjective, list of the top five for Jan. 14, plus others of note.

1) Sonny Siebert (1937)
Adept as a starter and reliever, Siebert went 140-114 with 16 saves 1964-75, and was chosen an American League All-Star in 1966 and 1971. It was a career that may not have happened. Basketball was his favorite sport, and he went to training camp with the St. Louis Hawks before the 1959-60 season, but after two years of strictly baseball he didn’t feel he could go as far in hoops. Siebert threw a no-hitter on June 10, 1966. The victims, the Washington Senators, can blame his wife, Carol. Sonny told Associated Press sports writer Murray Chass after the game that Carol had been ribbing him about some difficult outings leading up to the game. “I told her, ‘If you don’t get off my back, I’ll go out and pitch a no-hitter,'” Siebert said.

2) Erick Aybar (1984)
In 2002, the Angels signed a switch-hitting shortstop out of Bani, Dominican Republic -- and Bill Stoneman, the general manager at the time, could hardly wait to tell then-manager Mike Scioscia about him. “He came to us one day right after Erick had signed, and said, ‘Wait until you see this kid at shortstop,'” Scioscia later recalled in a press conference. A speedy and scrappy player for 12 seasons, Aybar earned the American League Gold Glove Award at shortstop in 2011 and an All-Star Game invitation in 2014 while with the Angels.

3) Terry Forster (1952)
Before the social media flavor of the day brought folks inexplicable fame, late night talk shows were the vehicle. Forster went from one of the better relievers of the 70s and 80s (127 saves in 318 relief appearances 1971-86) to pop culture icon because host David Letterman called him “a fat tub of goo,” apologized, then had Forster on as a frequent guest. Guess you had to be there to understand. Forster and Hall of Famer Goose Gossage were a 1-2 bullpen combo with the White Sox and the Pirates in the 70s, and Forster gave up no runs and just seven hits in eight postseason games for the Dodgers in 1978 and their World Series title win in 1981. And his .397 batting average (31-for-78) is highest for any player in history with at least 50 at-bats and 15 years in the Majors.

4) Chet Brewer (1907)
Brewer was an accomplished pitcher in the Negro Leagues, one who could overpower and outsmart hitters. He also was a switch-hitting offensive threat. Back when scuffing the ball was allowed, his work on the ball with the emery board and the way the pitch acted out of his hand amounted to a work of art. But after his career, he made a more lasting mark by training future Major Leaguers in Los Angeles through his Watts Giants youth teams. Hall of Famer Eddie Murray, Roy White, Reggie Smith and Enos Cabell were among the players he sent to the Majors, and Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith was one of the team’s batboys.

5) Wayne Gross (1952)
In 1977, Gross was having a solid rookie year for the Athletics -- and he happened to be in the right place at the right time. On his way to a 22-homer season, Gross found himself in the All-Star Game when the American League squad needed a last-minute injury replacement for pitcher Vida Blue. Gross consistently hit balls hard, with 121 homers and 126 doubles in 11 seasons, and posted a not-shabby .337 career on-base percentage.

Others of note:

Stephen Piscotty (1991)
Piscotty’s .732 career OPS over seven seasons is highest for Jan. 14-born position players of at least his level of experience. Of course, the “position player” designation is necessary because the aforementioned Forster managed an .887 mark.

Boog Powell (1993)
Gotta mention him if for no other reason than the opportunity to refer to him as “the other Boog Powell.” This one, Herschel Mack Powell, played for the Mariners (2017) and Athletics (2017-18). He’s not John Wesley “Boog” Powell, born Aug. 17, 1941, who gained fame with championship-level Orioles teams of the 60s and 70s.

Derrel Thomas (1959)
A member of the Dodgers’ 1981 World Series champion, Thomas played with a style that sometimes rankled opponents and his own managers, but his speed and defense at multiple positions brought value over a 15-year career.

Logan Forsythe (1987)
Among players produced at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Tenn., who have played more than one Major League game, Forsythe’s .695 OPS over 10 seasons trails only Tim McCarver, .725 in 21 seasons (1959-80). He ranks ahead of Phil Gagliano, .629 over 10 seasons (1963-74).
