Another simple post during a very busy week (but it's almost over!) A few days ago, someone I know made a reference to the year 1919. I don't even remember what she was talking about, mostly because when she said "1919," my brain immediately flashed to "Black Sox Scandal." And then I started thinking about how weird it was that someone would talk about the year in another context outside of the Black Sox. You mean people actually think about years without baseball being the first thing that pops in their head? So I did a little experiment. I decided to think of every year since 1901 and write down the first thing that came to my head about those years. This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. There are some years in which I couldn't think of anything, baseball-related or not. So I started giving myself a 30-second time limit. If I couldn't think of a year-related concept, then I just placed a question mark in there and moved on....
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
