Who are the best players born on each day of the year? We have a list for every day on the calendar.

Here¡¯s a subjective ranking of the top five for July 29:

1) Dan Driessen (1951)
The native of Hilton Head, S.C., was an underrated cog in the Big Red Machine. Driessen spent 12 of his 15 seasons in the big leagues with Cincinnati and was a utility player for clubs that won three NL pennants and two World Series. A corner infielder and outfielder, Driessen batted .301 and finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting in 1973, earning the nickname ¡°Cobra.¡± In 1,480 games for the Reds from 1973-84, he amassed 1,277 hits. Following Tony Perez¡¯s departure, he was the Reds¡¯ everyday first baseman from 1977-83 and was inducted into the team¡¯s Hall of Fame in 2012. He also played for the Expos, Giants and Astros.

2) Earl Moore (1877)
Known as ¡°Crossfire¡± for his unusual mechanics and sidearm motion and ¡°Steam Engine in Boots¡± because of his fiery fastball, the native of Pickerington, Ohio, was one of the best young pitchers in the earliest years of the American League. From his rookie year of 1901 through 1905 with Cleveland, he went 80-66 with a 2.52 ERA, including a Major League-best 1.74 ERA in 1903. But after a line drive damaged muscles and ligaments in his foot in 1905, his career stalled for several seasons. Moore went on to make a strong comeback as the ace of the Phillies with 40 victories from 1909-10, but his wildness ultimately limited his success. His final Major League season was with Buffalo in the Federal League in 1914; he passed away in 1961.

3) Jack Meyers (1880)
A Native American born in Riverside, Calif., and sometimes listed as "Chief," Meyers is considered the best offensive catcher of the Deadball Era. In a nine-season career (1909-17) spent with the New York Giants, Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves, he hit .291. He finished in the top 10 of Chalmers Award (the MVP honor of that time) voting three times (1911-13), and he led the National League in on-base percentage (.441) in 1912. Meyers served in the Marines during World War I, and after his baseball and military careers ended, he became a police chief for the Mission Indian Agency. He passed away in 1971.

4) Greg Minton (1951)
Known as the ¡°Moon Man,¡± Minton was an accomplished right-handed reliever in a 16-year career (1975-90) with the Giants and Angels. He was an All-Star and finished sixth in the NL Cy Young voting in 1982, when he had a 1.83 ERA and a league-high 66 games finished for the Giants, with 123 innings pitched. Thanks to his trusty diving sinker, Minton went three full seasons (1979-81) without allowing a home run. The streak ended at 269 1/3 innings in 1982 and is the longest such streak on record. Minton gave up the last of Pete Rose¡¯s record 4,256 career hits in 1986. When his playing career ended, Minton went on to coach in the Angels¡¯ organization.

5) Chad Billingsley (1984)
The native of Defiance, Ohio, was the 24th overall Draft selection in 2003 and pitched nine seasons in the big leagues, primarily with the Dodgers, from 2006-15. Over his career, he went 83-64 with a 3.72 ERA in 1,212 1/3 innings. Billingsley was an NL All-Star for the Dodgers in 2009, but his best seasons were 2007 and 2008, when he went a combined 28-15 with a 3.21 ERA and 134 ERA+. Billingsley made three postseason starts in 2008 and recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in 2012. Elbow troubles hampered him in his late 20s, and his final season came at age 30 with the Phillies in 2015.

Others of note:

Luis Alicea (1965): The native of Puerto Rico spent 13 seasons in the big leagues (1988-2002) and played in 1,341 games, primarily at second base, for the Angels, Red Sox, Royals, Cardinals and Rangers.

Mike Adams (1978): A right-handed reliever from 2004-14, Adams had particular prominence as a setup man for the Padres and Rangers from 2008-12. The Rangers acquired him at the 2011 Trade Deadline and used him in their push toward the AL pennant.
