Biography
Joe Birmingham is 142 years old, an athlete, from United States.
Joseph Leo Birmingham (December 3, 1884 – April 24, 1946) was an American Major League Baseball player. Birmingham was a center fielder and manager who occasionally played the infield for the Cleveland Naps. He was named the manager of the Naps in 1912 at the age of 28 after Harry Davis was fired, and he stayed at the helm for three more seasons. His tenure was marked with a bit of controversy in 1913 which would be his best finish as manager (86–66, 3rd place).
Nap Lajoie, who was Birmingham's former manager, struggled through a hitting slump in mid-season and Birmingham decided to bench the future Hall of Famer at one point. Lajoie who had no love for Birmingham was outraged and cursed out the young manager to his face and in the press.
