Damn. Actual date was April 29, 1983. I am off by 2 days. I saw something on my Facebook feed. Apparently, that person got it wrong, There was a story in The Athletic that is running today about the anniversary. But someone else pointed out that the actual rant was on April 29.

Accuracy doesn’t matter anymore.

27, 29 . . . whatever it takes.

lol I swear I make this joke a few times a month, and its completely lost on all my 20-something coworkers.

It may be lost on a lot of 30- and 40-somethings, as well.

If this is from Mr. Mom, I saw it when it came out, and again a couple years ago.

I don't get the joke

I'm batting about .127 on knowing the songs referenced in garrow's lyrics. I'm guessing the youngs do better.

I like to think that the Cubs are playing a nationally televised day game today (albeit on the road), on purpose.

Not that this an MLB reserve, but the anniversary of "Crown Their Asses!" in the desert has to be coming up.

Bill Haller was great in that exchange. He almost made Weaver's head explode.

Just sent that video to a friend today. Bill Haller was awesome in that.

A lot people don't remember that it was the top of the first inning, second batter of the game.
