    The death day is more important anyway. He hadn't done anything when he was born

    Re: The Day You Were Born

    My birthday is October 25th.

    Nothing really notable happened that day (except for my birth, of course)

    I share my birthday with Angela Cartwright, the voice of BART SIMPSON.

    Re: The Day You Were Born

    June 11 is the date on which Vince Lombardi, Joe Montana and I were born, and the date on which John Wayne and David Brinkley died. I do not yet know if I actually share my date of death with anyone famous, but should I find out, I will let everyone know.

    Re: The Day You Were Born

    Went to the site RedsMetz posted and found this little tidbit on mine

    1977 Cincinnati Reds tie record of 12 runs in 5th inning beating Atlanta Braves 23-9
    and
    1978 Phillie Phanatic makes 1st appearance

    Cool.
    In those things which we commit to practice we can master, and with mastery we have the freedom to use these skills whenever we desire, without this practice we are slaves to our inability.

    My wife was born on the same day as Lance Berkman and a day after Vlad Guerrero.

    I doubt she cares.

    Re: The Day You Were Born

    As evidence that I'm a demon seed, my birth coincided with the first all-out players strike in Major League Baseball history (early April 1972). Later that year, Jackie Robinson threw out the first pitch at Riverfront during the world series. The Reds then lost that series in 7 games, and soon after Jackie Robinson died a relatively young man.

    You're welcome. Be glad I didn't bring the plague too.
    Stick to your guns.

    You share your birthday with Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson. Angela Cartwright was a child actress in the 60s, known for her role in My Three Sons and, of course, her immortal portrayall of Brigitta von Trapp in the Sound of Music, a movie which you obviously did not watch once a month for about ten years, thank you.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    In honor of my arrival onto this planet in 1954, Texas Instruments introduced the transistor radio. Mighty nice of them, don't you think?
