Aug. 13.



I share my birthday with Alfred Hitchcock, Bert Lahr, Fidel Castro, Samuel de Champlain, Dan Fogelburg, Jay Buhner, Annie Oakley, Danny Bonaduce, Alan Shearer, Kevin Tighe, Ben Hogan, Don Ho, Andre Thornton, and some celebutards I never heard of.

Construction on the Berlin Wall began on my birthday, and Man O War suffered his only loss. Hurricane Charlie (I think) hit my parent's current hometown on Aug. 13 also.

Mickey Mantle died on my 41st birthday. And Satchel Page pitched his first game for an integrated team in a city where I used to live on 8/13/1933. Bismarck had an integrated team 14 years before the majors.

 

March 13, along with Will Clark, Charles Krauthammer, William Casey, Jamie Dimon, U2's Adam Clayton, Dana Delany, Johan Santana, William H. Macy, L. Ron Hubbard, Common and Neil Sedaka.

On that day in 1639, Harvard was named for John Harvard. In 1996, the Dunblane massacre happened in Scotland. In 1997, the Phoenix lights were seen in Arizona.

 

We need more Aug. 9 license plates in the gift shop. I repeat, we are sold out of Aug. 9 license plates.

 

Excuse me. My son is also named Bort.

 

March 7. I share it with SJ luminary Tom Petty.

And in more important news, and I dare any of you to top this with your "things that happened on my birthday" bullshit lists: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/02/13/taco-bell-cool-ranch-doritos-locos-taco-coming-march-7/
