Remember Brett Hull's instead". It was not the best commercial by any means, which is probably why it stuck in my mind. Fast forward to the early 2000s, I met wife. Her birthday is the same as Brett Hull.

I have a couple of friends who have birthdays on holidays (Halloween, Valentines Day) so I remember those. I also know a handful of famous people (Chris Sale, Alex Bregman, Eric Clapton) that share my birthday. Everyone else I need reminders for.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362273891780713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-76806114743732552242022-05-15T17:40:10.185-07:002022-05-15T17:40:10.185-07:00Outside of my family I can't remember anyone&#...Outside of my family I can't remember anyone's birthday. I think when I was a kid I knew when Don Mattingly's birthday was, but I've long since forgotten. <br /><br />It always makes me feel awkward when someone outside of my family wishes me a happy birthday on my birthday since I almost never know when that person's birthday is and I know that even if I learn it, I'll probably have forgotten by the time theirs rolls by, thus creating the risk of hurt feelings. Its one of those things I always want to get better at, but never do....Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-59288567048194008772022-05-15T10:37:02.684-07:002022-05-15T10:37:02.684-07:00I have a hard enough time remembering birthdays fo...I have a hard enough time remembering birthdays for my friends/family, so it's a given that I'm awful at knowing (much less remembering) my favorite ballplayers' birthdays.

Maybe one day I'll have to, but I'm delaying it for as long as I can.<br /><br />Ron Cey's birthday is 2/15, I post on it just about every year. Don Sutton and Reggie Smith were born on the same day, 4/2. Steve Garvey's birthday is 12/22. Rickey Henderson was born 12/25 (I'm sure you know that one). I know others but that's off top of my head.<br /><br />Love those Chu-Bop albums, wanted them so much as a kid.

I definitely use my outlook calendar for birthdays, although I probably only have half of the ones I actually should know in there.<br /><br />I never forget Tino's birthday on 12/7.

I'd be fine without a phone even a landline. As for athletes bdays, yes I do...A whole bunch of them courtesy of having 4 birthday binders for my collection where I collect baseball cards of players wit the same bday. 1/30, 2/25, 7/26, and 9/16. I also have (although not for long) (Long being a keyword) bdays for Holidates binder which I've totally lost interest in. One exception are the 2/29 guys (Leap year) Terrance Long being one of them.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-79522046190658005382022-05-14T17:53:51.584-07:002022-05-14T17:53:51.584-07:00I think it's Facebook that is my main birthday...I think it's Facebook that is my main birthday reminder...however sad that might be.
