When the Buckner play occurred and the rest of the collapse, I was just trying to maintain my composure but doing a really bad job of it. Needless to say that was our last date upon mutual consent. I can't recall exactly what she said to me, but I recall telling her that this game will last in baseball infamy for ages to come if you can't appreciate that then there's no future for us.

Haha! that's great. Too bad more men can't understand the importance of such events until it is too late...and they're in the middle of a divorce.
