WHAT SONG WAS #1 ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN?
On October 17, 1947, it was NEAR YOU, which topped the charts for a (still) record 17 weeks straight.
The composer was Francis Craig (who also wrote the Vanderbilt University FIGHT SONG, DYNAMITE), and Near You was the first big hit associated with Nashville, TN….an event that may very well have led to its becoming the COUNTRY MUSIC RECORDING CENTER.
You can find out what song was on the top of the charts on your date of birth by going to THIS SITE.

WHY DO I LOVE BASEBALL?................BECAUSE IT’S LIFE ITSELF, IN MINIATURE, AND ON A DIAMOND.
Division II ladies softball in Washington State…..two teams vying for a place in the playoffs, each of them trying to get there for the first time.
Sara Tucholsky, a 5-foot 2-inch, four-year senior whose role has always been part-time starter, and who has never hit a home run. Her team is ahead 1-0 and there are two baserunners. Despite the heckling from a crowd of fewer than 300, Sara swung at the second pitch and hit it out of the park, over the center-field fence.
Naturally, she’s incredibly excited!! Her team is ahead, 4-0!! So excited, in fact, that she misses first base…...and when she turns to go back and touch it, she twists her knee, and collapses in agony.
