Ever hear of Tarrik Brock?
How about Dick Manville?
Allen Elliot? Charles George? Herb Hunter? Kris Krug?
Those obscure players are 6 of just 9 who played for the Cubs and were born on Christmas.

Batters who made team s only 3 hits vs. Cubs By JohnW53 on Feb 20, 2021, 5:38am CST +
On Opening Day of last season, Kyle Hendricks shut out the Brewers on 3 hits all by Orlando Arcia.
Right after the game, I used the search tools at Baseball-Reference.com to generate a list of all 3-hit, complete-game shutouts by Cubs pitchers since 1901.
There were 152, of which 62 took place in the first 20 years and 90 in the next 100. Hendricks was only the fifth of the 2000s.
I checked the box scores of all 152, either online or in contemporary newspapers, in search of other games in which the same player made all 3 hits.
