LUCKY ME ...

So today is my 28th Birthday and well, here are some events in history that are "privileged" to share my birthday ...

2001
Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants set a new mark for home runs in a single season, hitting his 71st and 72nd in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. (Freakin Barry Bond! Why couldn't he have done this on Oct. 6th)

1989
A jury in Charlotte, N.C., convicted former PTL evangelist Jim Bakker of using his TV show to defraud followers. (Not sure if it is a priviledge to have this on your birthday!)

1962
The Beatles' first hit, ''Love Me Do,'' was released in the United Kingdom.

1921
The World Series was broadcast on radio for the first time. (See this is the real reason I am a Yankees fan. They have, after all, had more World Series broadcast then any other team)

Random U2 Fact about Oct. 5 --

They have only had one tour date on Oct. 5 (London, England @ Half Moon Club during the "Boy" Tour when I turned 2 in 1980!)
