[A fan who cares]

I just noticed your signature says you've been a fan since 1974. It doesn't have anything to do with them being 7-0 that year right?

 

[Gee!]

Thanks Bucky.. This is what I was looking for.. Gas was 55 cents.. When I stared high school it was 99 cents.. It took 16 years to go up 44 cents.. Then it just took off from there .. Unreal..

June 4 – The Cleveland Indians stage an ill-advised Ten Cent Beer Night for a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Cleveland forfeits after alcohol-fueled mayhem and violence spreads from the stands onto the field.
June 26 – The Universal Product Code is scanned for the first time, to sell a package of Wrigley's chewing gum at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio
September 8 – Stuntman Evel Knievel fails in his attempt to rocket across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.
October 30 – The Rumble in the Jungle takes place in Kinshasa, Zaire, where Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in 8 rounds to regain the Heavyweight title, which had been stripped from him 7 years earlier.

Good stuff


In 1974, not one Cardinal on our current roster was alive! Wow
