That made me chuckle.<br /><br />I'll admit, when doing the same activity, I think "Padres first World Series" before I think of my own birth-year. I think all of my "baseball-related" thoughts also have a Padre tie-in, ('69 - inaugural team, '83 - Gwynn's rookie year, '93 - Sheffield and McGriff traded, '96 - division champs, '98 - 2nd World Series, '12 - Yonder Alonso NL Rookie of the Year (...ok, probably not).Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-23462665580111566582012-06-08T01:23:43.339-04:002012-06-08T01:23:43.339-04:00A lot of the recent baseball events are the same f...A lot of the recent baseball events are the same for me. I always recall Eddie Gaedel as well as "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" when I think about '51. I'd have to think about the pre-WWII ones a bit more.<br /><br />I know '76 for me would be a music one with the Ramones' first album.

Black Sox, sure, but not White Sox.<br /><br />As for Nickelback, they were so pervasive in 2005 that my day care provider (a very nice older lady) actually played "How You Remind Me" for her kids during their little dance period. Bizarre. And why I think of them any time anyone says "2005."night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-78392527569539244642012-06-07T23:11:45.514-04:002012-06-07T23:11:45.514-04:00So you have the Browns instead of D-Day for 1944 a...So you have the Browns instead of D-Day for 1944 and you have Nickleback instead of the White Sox for 2005.<br /><br />I think I need to find a new nightly read.JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-53665422506219629622012-06-07T21:50:43.840-04:002012-06-07T21:50:43.840-04:00Nice.
