I went out to dinner with a friend tonight, and as we were walking through the Commons, I saw a chalkboard in front of the burrito place.
TRIVIA: What year did Babe Ruth hit his 714th home run?
"I know that." And it excited me in a way that only talking about baseball excites me.
I walked in and said, "1935."
The guy at the counter looked confused, until I pointed to the sign. "The trivia question...1935."
A girl from the back came out and said, "You're right, you win chips and salsa."
"Oh I don't need that, I just wanted to make sure I was right. And I think the exact date was May 25."
"Yea that's right."
I walked back out to my friend. "I was right, and he actually hit 712, 713 and 714 that day. In Pittsburgh. And then retired a week later."
"How do you remember this shit?"
"It was my job."
Yup, I'm a nerd, but I know my George stats. ;)
