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 June 30:

1) Tony Fernandez (1962)
Known for his brilliant defense, Fernandez spent parts of 12 seasons with the Blue Jays over his 17-year Major League career, winning four consecutive Gold Glove Awards and making five All-Star appearances. He was a member of the Blue Jays’ 1993 World Series title team -- he tallied a team-leading nine RBIs in the six-game triumph over the Phillies -- and is a member of the club’s Level of Excellence. Fernandez, who passed away at age 57 in 2020, is the club’s career leader in games (1,450), hits (1,583) and triples (72).

2) Garret Anderson (1972)
Anderson was a model of consistency in 15 seasons with the Angels, setting club marks for career games (2,013), hits (2,368), runs (1,024), doubles (489) and RBIs (1,292). A three-time All-Star with a smooth left-handed swing, “GA” helped lead the club to the 2002 World Series title, hitting .300 (21-for-70) that postseason with 13 RBIs -- his biggest knock a go-ahead bases-clearing double in Game 7 of the Fall Classic. His resume also includes a Home Run Derby title and All-Star Game MVP honors (both in 2003) and two Silver Slugger Awards.

3) Trea Turner (1993)
Since finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2016 for the Nationals, Turner has emerged as one of the game’s most dynamic players. He won the MLB batting title in 2021 with a .328 average and led the NL with 32 stolen bases. Turner also made history in ’21, recording his third career cycle to become the fourth player in the Modern Era to achieve that feat. And his effortless slides at home -- more like gliding -- have been a viral sensation. Turner stole 30 bases in 2023, marking his sixth season of 30 or more steals.

4) Bud Black (1957)
Harry Ralston “Bud” Black deserves placement here for his time both on the field and in the dugout, winning a World Series as a player (pitcher for 1985 Royals) and coach (pitching coach for 2002 Angels). In 15 big league seasons, the left-hander went 121-116 with a career 3.84 ERA. He won a career-high 17 games in 1984 for the Royals, then was a part of the starting rotation for the ’85 World Series-winning team. As a manager for the Padres (2007-2015) and Rockies, Black finished the 2021 season two wins shy of 1,000 for his career (998-1,072). He was the 2010 NL Manager of the Year after guiding the Padres to a 90-72 record, falling short of the NL West title with a loss on the final day of the season. If you’re into trivia, Black is a name to keep in mind. He was the Royals’ starting pitcher in the 1983 “Pine Tar Game” and allowed Reggie Jackson’s 500th homer in a start on Sept. 17, 1984 – the only run allowed in his eight-inning win.

5) Chan Ho Park (1973)
Park enjoyed a long, if quirky, MLB career, and should be remembered as a groundbreaking pitcher of his time. Signed by the Dodgers in 1994 -- and making his debut on April 8 of that season -- Park was the Major Leagues' first South Korean-born player. He pitched 17 seasons with 1,715 strikeouts and a 124-98 record, passing former Dodgers teammate Hideo Nomo as the winningest Asian-born pitcher, a feat he accomplished with a relief win in his final Major League appearance. He made his lone All-Star appearance in 2015, when he served up a home run to Cal Ripken Jr. That was one of a few famous roundtrippers Park allowed. He surrendered Barry Bonds' record-breaking 71st and 72nd homers in 2001 in San Francisco, and on April 23, 1999, he was on the Dodger Stadium mound when the Cardinals' Fernando Tatis became the only player in big league history to hit two grand slams in an inning.

Others of note:

Ed Rile (1900)
When it comes to two-way superstars, Babe Ruth and Shohei Ohtani are the prominent names. But perhaps Rile deserves our attention. Biographical information is scarce, but Rile -- nicknamed "Huck" -- spent 12 seasons in the Negro Leagues as both a pitcher and hitter. He sported a career .316 average and 132 OPS+ at the plate and went 51-36 on the mound. In 1927, he slashed .389/.439/.660 while going 11-6 with a 2.43 ERA and a 154 ERA+.

Pat Venditte (1985)
Though not entirely successful by any quantifiable metrics (2-2 in 61 career games with a -0.2 bWAR), Venditte will go down as one of the most unique players to take the field: He was the first full-time switch-pitcher in the Modern Era. Venditte made his debut in 2015 for the A's with two shutout innings: "You can't even fathom how somebody can do that," his former manager Bob Melvin said. Venditte even inspired Rule 8.01 (f) that states an ambidextrous pitcher -- but not an amphibious one -- must first declare which side he's pitching from before facing a switch-hitter.
