GCL Manager Marty Malloy (42)
Although Baseball-Reference has Malloy's birthday as 4/6/72, the GCL roster says 7/6/92 so I'll go with that. Malloy is in his second year with the GCL Astros, having served as Hitting Coach for the team in 2013. This is his first year managing the team.

Happy Birthday - 7/6
OK, I posted the wrong birthday yesterday. I shouldn't be allowed to post at 4:00 in the morning. So a belated Happy birthday to German Rivera and Happy Birthday for real to Bob Gallagher (see yesterday).
No future Astros, and only one former Astro with a birthday today ~
