On this day in 1956, Kevin Hickey was born in Chicago, Illinois.

Kevin played three seasons with the White Sox, from 1981 until 1983, and was dealt, along with a very young Doug Drabek, to the New York Yankees in August 1984. After bouncing around a few organizations in the minors, Hickey stuck with the Baltimore Orioles and played with them in the majors from 1989 until 1991.
