Marv Breeding was born on Thursday, March 8, 1934, in Decatur, Alabama. Breeding was 26 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 19, 1960, with the Baltimore Orioles.

"A lot of people play a long time in the big leagues and never play for a World Series team. Even though I didn’t get to play in the (1963) Series, I was part of the team and got part of a Series share. I got a ring and bat from the Series—the ring, the bat and the memories I’ll have forever." - Marv Breeding in The Decatur Daily (Mark Edwards, 01/02/2007)
