Excited Beyond Words!

As one of quite possibly the last dozen or so actual baseball fans left in this world, I can't quite put into intelligent words how excited I am. This is because not only do I get to see the Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Sox (featuring two of the best pure hitters in the major leagues: Big Papi a.k.a David Ortiz and the completely insane Manny Ramirez) tonight at the Skydome (yes, the Skydome.... it will ALWAYS be the Skydome), but I also get to see the second of the two big signings the Jays made (A.J. Burnett.. I saw B.J. Ryan pitch Tuesday) face his former team mate Josh Beckett, he of the World Series MVP, and likely the most famous person to share my birthday... and actually, my exact birth date.

I will always harken back to the night I watched him clinch the World Series for the Marlins (hence the out-of-date pic to the right), and it was noted he was the first pitcher born in the 1980's to start a World Series game... then they flashed his birthday, and I just about freaked. We were the same age to the day, and yet here I am watching him pitch in the World Series while sitting on my couch with a beer. Where did MY life go wrong?

Then it hit me... I wasn't born to be 6'-5" in Texas. I'll bet things would be pretty different if I had been, tho!

Oh well...

UPDATE: On a whole, my birthday doesn't have anyone overly famous associated with it...take a look at this list of "who dats."
