No, not the Black Sabbath one, the baseball one. I got the great news today of Salem State College's 2007 speaker series. Kicking things off for this year is Cal Ripken on April 4th. Since Maura had a subscription last year, we were able to jump right on the tickets today to ensure that I'd get to see my boyhood idol. It sounds cheesy to say it, but he was. When I was in jr. high, baseball and baseball cards were to me what music and records are now. One of my high school highlights was going to his record-breaking 2131st consecutive game. Even then, I realized that no matter what other sporting events I might go to in my lifetime, this would be the best I'd ever have. I just recently heard that my thoughts aren't too grandiose - that game was voted to be baseball's most memorable moment. Ever. And I was there. Now if it could've just been me catching Cal's home run ball that game and not the guy with the broken arm 10 rows in front of me.
