Joe Inglett, who turns 47 today, is remembered primarily for his impressive performance during the 2008 MLB season with the Toronto Blue Jays. With Aaron Hill sidelined due to a concussion, Inglett excelled in the leadoff spot, achieving a batting average of .297 with notable speed on the bases. His energy and gritty playing style earned him the nickname 'Voodoo Joe' from manager John Gibbons due to his odd pattern of being sent down and recalled after injuries. After his time with the Jays, Inglett's career continued but without the same impact. Tom Koehler, who turns 39 today, was known for his brief tenure with the Jays after being acquired from the Marlins but has since concluded his MLB career.
Joe Inglett had a standout season in 2008 for the Blue Jays, filling in as a gritty infielder when Aaron Hill was injured, hitting .297 and stealing nine bases.
John Gibbons affectionately nicknamed Joe Inglett 'Voodoo Joe' due to his strange luck of being sent down only to be called back up when other players got injured.
