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

Here’s a subjective ranking of the top five for April 12.

1) Vic Willis (1876)
Nicknamed the “Delaware Peach,” the right-handed Willis put up some eye-popping numbers by today’s standards. He managed to tally 249 wins and nearly 4,000 innings over just 13 years with Boston, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. In 1902 while pitching for the Boston Beaneaters, Willis led baseball with 45 complete games, 410 innings and 225 strikeouts. In 1995, nearly a century after his Major League debut, Willis was elected into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.

2) Addie Joss (1880)
Addie Joss’ career lasted just nine seasons, but the right-handed pitcher made the most of his time in the big leagues before his tragic death at the age of 31 to a bacterial infection. Playing his entire career for Cleveland, Joss posted four 20-win seasons, won two ERA titles and hurled two no-hitters -- one a perfect game. He led the Majors with 27 wins in 1907 and had a career 1.89 ERA, thanks in part to his deceptive delivery that confused hitters. In 1978 the Veterans Committee elected Joss to the Hall of Fame.

3) Johnny Antonelli (1930)
Antonelli’s best years on the mound came during his seven seasons with the Giants. In 1954, the lefty’s first year with the club after being traded by Milwaukee, Antonelli spun 21 wins with a 2.30 ERA. He also earned the first of his six career All-Star selections and helped lead the Giants to the World Series championship over Cleveland, pitching to a 0.84 ERA in the Fall Classic and earning the save in Game 4 to seal a sweep.

4) Paul Lo Duca (1972)
Having spent many years in the Minors after being drafted by the Dodgers in 1993, Lo Duca got his breakthrough chance at age 29 in 2001, when he hit .320 with 25 home runs and a .917 OPS over 125 games and finished in the top 20 in MVP voting. The catcher’s best run came from 2003-06, when he earned four straight All-Star selections for the Dodgers, Marlins and Mets.

5) Woodie Fryman (1940)
A two-time All-Star who played for 18 years in the big leagues, Fryman spent nearly equal time as a starter and reliever over his long career with the Pirates, Phillies, Tigers, Expos, Reds and Cubs. The lefty helped Detroit reach the 1972 ALCS -- he went 10-3 down the stretch after being dealt by Philadelphia -- and would later help lead Montreal to the '81 NLCS, but struggled overall in the postseason (0-2, 6.14 ERA).
