Wow guys----and I was looking towards this August 19 to celebrate something but I wonder if I am pulling a gag on my friends on this board by even mentioning it-----TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY, AUGUST 19TH, 2000, I SAW PEDRO MARTINEZ PITCH A SEVEN INNING SHUTOUT AS THE RED SOX TRASHED THE RANGERS 9-0.  AFTER THAT GAME I WALKED OUT OF FENWAY PARK A RED SOX FAN.  Sorry, I can't feel in a celebrating mood today as we see the shipwreck our beloved team in in.  Still all in all I do look back at this converdsion with mostly happy memories.

Fred, also on this date Tony Canigliaro was beamed by Hamilton of the Angels (?).  Was carried off the field on a stretcher.  I think it was '68.

It was 1967, the year of the Impossible Dream, but IJ also thought it was August 18th when it happened.  Well I know the year just not the exact date.  You're probably right on that.
