Hard to believe its been 5 years since this...

On this day in 2010, Armando Galaraga pitched the game of his life against the Cleveland Indians. He was one out away from a perfect game. a ground ball was hit to short 1st base, Miguel Cabrera fielded it and Galaraga stepped on the bag and beat the runner. Umpire Jim Joyce called the runner safe. It was a call that haunted Joyce to this day and changed baseball to this day. Galaraga handled the situation with class. The next day, he (Galaraga), brought out the line up card for the Tigers gave it to Jim Joyce and gave him a hug. Those two would also share in a ESPY award later as they presented a award at ESPN's summer awards show. The both have a book called, No one is perfect. Five years ago tonight I was at a Dayton Dragons game and it was raining like crazy. It was so nasty, my friends and I left early.

Has it really been 20 years since Reggie Miller's 8 points in 8 seconds

Has been really been 20 years since Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 8 seconds in Game 1 in the Eastern Conference Semis against the Knicks? I remember sitting at my sister's house in Oxford watching that game and could not believe that at all.

Loving this weather and found a new love on the GC

I am loving this nice weather, considering what we were dealing with during the winter, I will take it. I recently started walking while playing golf and it is very relaxing. I enjoy getting exercise that way.

Hard to believe that its been 15 years since Ken Griffey Jr was traded

This post is way over due. It's hard to believe that Ken Griffey Jr was traded to the Reds and believe it or not, I was at the game he hit his first home run as a Red. It was a fun atmosphere at Cinergy Field.

Congrats to Duke and Jordan Speith

It's been a few days since I have been on here. I want to congratulate Duke on their 5th National Championship. A outstanding Coaching Job by Coach K. Wisconsin made it to the title game for a reason, they were better than Kentucky. I also want to congratulate Jordan Spieth on his victory at Augusta. Well done. To lead from start to finish and to be that focused and composed was amazing to watch.

Hard to believe its been 10 and 20 years since these moments

It's hard for me to believe that its been 10 years since there were 3 overtime game in the Regional Finals: Illionis coming back to beat Arizona in Chicago in overtime. Louisville holding off West Virginia in Overtime and Michigan State getting by Kentucky in Double Overtime. It is also hard for me to believe that its been 20 years since His Airness came back. "I'm Back". MJ scored 55 points against the Knicks at MSG just 3 games later.

Going to be a awesome Final Four

Wow, Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky and Wisconsin. What a Final Four that is going to be. Plus its going to be in Indianapolis. Should be 2 great games.
