Today in Comics History, April 19: Happy birthday, Whitey Kurowski!

Born today in 1918: George "Whitey" Kurowski, record-breaking Major League third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals throughout the 1940s! That must be because, as this ad tells us, he ate his Wheaties! (And also because he practiced a lot and was good at baseball.)

Happy birthday, Whitey!
