Birthday Pie

First, some pie.

Forty-one years ago today, the 4 day experience known as Woodstock came to an end. Roughly half a million people saw 32 musical acts perform in what Rolling Stone magazine called one of the “50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll”.



Topps gave Woodstock a little love on this 2001 American Pie card.

Now for some birthdays.

This great Hall of Famer would be celebrating his 76th birthday today.


Unfortunately, he was killed in a plane crash on December 31, 1972, while escorting relief supplies to earthquake stricken Managua, Nicaragua. Clemente got his 3000th hit in his final regular season at-bat and was voted into the Hall of Fame in a special election just 3 months after his death.


This next player is definitely a step (or 10) down from Clemente, but he today is his birthday also.

Bobby Higginson is turning the big 4-0 today. Why is that significant you ask? It just so happens that Bobby and I share the same birth date.

That cartoon is funny. No explanation. No question. Just a "can of corn".

All I really want for my birthday is a World Series Championship for the Rangers. Is that too much to ask? A guy only turns 40 once after all.
