    whoa, that's my dad's b-day too.
    there's too many for mine to list :)

    This year, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia!

    I always remember the first world trade center attack was on 2/26 b/c it's the day after my b-day.

    I know at least 5 people who's birthday is on 9/11 and I always think how weird/difficult that must be now.

    Usually only bad shit happens on my birthday. But I do get to share a birthday with Shirley Temple, Lee Majors (the 6 million dollar man), and Shakespear.

    1983: On the day I was born, the Mariners lost at the Angels 10-5. Leadoff hitter Tony Bernarzard hit a grand slam and drove in all five runs. A guy named Terry Clark started but only lasted two batters because he was ejected for fighting Rod Carew.

    1985: On my second birthday, the Mariners rolled to an 11-4 win over the hated (by me) Angels at the Kingdome. Back when pitchers threw complete games, Mark Langston fired a 10-hitter. It was 10-1 through four and pretty easy win.

    1991: On my eighth birthday, Edgar Martinez batted leadoff and played third base. Griffey and Buhner each hit two-run home runs in the fifth off Oakland's Dave Stewart. Mariners win it 5-2 and improved to 60-53.

    1995: On my 12th birthday, Mickey Mantle died.

    1996: On my 13th birthday, Randy Johnson struck out eight in four innings for a save against the Royals.

    2003: On my 20th birthday, Ichiro drove in three runs against the Blue Jays.

    2004: I don't want to talk about this game.

    (thanks, L-train! :) )
