Birthday Numbers

Deanna's latest Marinerd Post had me curious to about how many players had the same number on their backs as their date of birth (day of month). So, I did a quick query for the 2007 players with these results:

+--------------------+------+--------------+
| Player             | Num  | Birthday     |
+--------------------+------+--------------+
| Makoto Kosaka      |    2 | Jul 02, 1973 |
| Hisanori Nishitani |    6 | May 06, 1982 |
| Takeshi Yamasaki   |    7 | Nov 07, 1968 |
| Makoto Kaneko      |    8 | Nov 08, 1975 |
| Shun Yamaguchi     |   11 | Jul 11, 1987 |
| Susumu Kawai       |   17 | Jun 17, 1980 |
| Kazuki Yoshimi     |   19 | Sep 19, 1984 |
| Yuuji Yoshimi      |   21 | May 21, 1978 |
| Tsuyoshi Wada      |   21 | Feb 21, 1981 |
| Hironori Matsunaga |   24 | Feb 24, 1984 |
| Ryohei Kawamoto    |   28 | Apr 28, 1982 |
| Shinobu Fukuhara   |   28 | Dec 28, 1976 |
| Tomoyuki Kubota    |   30 | Jan 30, 1981 |
+--------------------+------+--------------+

It doesn't look like very many this year. I wonder how many are coincidence and how many were chosen that way.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
