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 March 6.

1) Lefty Grove (1900)
One of the most consistently dominant pitchers of his -- or any -- era, Grove not only won 300 games but saved 54 of them and ripped 15 home runs. Grove led the league in ERA nine times and won 31 of the 40 games he pitched in 1931. He led the league in Baseball Reference pitching WAR eight times. As you might have guessed, Grove was a lefty. He was at his best over nine seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics but also had some tremendous years over his final eight seasons for the Red Sox. Grove won back-to-back World Series titles with the A’s in 1929-30.

2) Willie Stargell (1940)
The left-handed slugger became lovable “Pops” late in his career when he guided the “We are Family” Pirates to the 1979 World Series title, coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the series in the process. Stargell was the Co-MVP of the National League in ’79, along with Keith Hernandez. But Stargell didn’t have to share his World Series MVP with anyone. In 1971, Stargell powered another championship squad, belting a career-high of 48 homers. Just like in ’71, the Pirates beat the Orioles in seven. Stargell played his entire career with the Pirates, hammering 475 homers.

3) Jake Arrieta (1986)
Arrieta will be a legend in Chicago forever because he was one of the 25 players on the 2016 Cubs roster that finally won it all. Arrieta was a prominent player for that club, winning 18 games and notching 190 strikeouts. It was Arrieta who earned the win in Game 6 of the World Series to force what proved to be an iconic Game 7. Arrieta’s best season was ’15, when he had 22 wins and somehow didn’t lead the league with a 1.77 ERA. The righty also fired two no-hitters.

4) Ted Abernathy (1933)
During an era when there were very few relief specialists, Abernathy was an exception. This was in large part due to Abernathy switching to a side-armer and a submariner following arm surgery in 1959. In fact, following that surgery, Abernathy pitched in relief for the final 606 appearances of his career. The right-hander led the NL in ERA with 31 saves in ’65 and 28 in ’67.

5) Clint Barmes (1979)
For Barmes, there was no bigger thrill than when he hit a walk-off homer on Opening Day of his rookie season of 2005 against eventual Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman to lift the Rockies past the Padres. Barmes never quite lived up to expectations in his career, but did smash 23 homers for Colorado in ’09.
