But were you a great defensive player? Fast on the bases? Good batting average? NONE of this matters if you didn’t have any power?
Remember, chicks dig home runs.
As far as birthdays go, I haven’t a clue when my girlfriend’s birthday is*, but I can name two major league baseball players who were born on the exact same day and year as myself (Craig Biggio and Ken Hill). And all I had to do was buy a complete set of Topps baseball cards and read the backs of all of them! (It might not have been too smart to pass up that date with the girl who really had the hots for me because I couldn’t afford both, but hell, those baseball cards might be worth MONEY someday)
*Oh, all right. It’s because I don’t have one. When I do, I hope the birthday in question is closer to Rafael Furcal’s than Harry Caray’s, though.
Seriously, yes, I think a guy should know when his SO’s birthday was. Birthdays, as you yourself say, are a pretty important thing-they’re personal, and they do matter, as they should.
Well, Bratman, I’m sure you’re a great guy, but I must be more perceptive than you. Based on the above, I know what you *** didn’t do*** and I WASN’T EVEN THERE!
