Without checking, tell me which Met was born the day Babe Ruth died.

Amos Otis.

Bill Hepler. (I have no idea; that was the first vintage Mets baseball card that came to mind.)

Nobody yet. He had maybe a few things in common with Ruth also.

I think I remember this one from years ago: Mike Jorgensen?

Jorgensen it is. He breathed his first breath in Passaic, NJ on August 16, 1948, while 16 miles to the north the Babe was breathing his last.

We'll have to get time of death and time of birth to see if they were both alive at the same time, even for a few minutes. The Ultimate Mets Database, of course, has birth weight and time for all 799 Mets, but unfortunately, nothing on Babe Ruth.
