Happy Birthday, G.M.! I'm sending your birthday gift, "Earth in the Balance" by Al Gore! Also, as an on-line gift, here is a fun quiz! http://bbhq.com/gorequiz.htm

Here's what else happened on your birthday, after you were born:

1927 - Babe Ruth hit his 60th home run of the season.
1968 - Denny McClain (Detroit Tigers) became the first player to achieve 31 wins in 37 years.
1973 - In an exhibition tennis match, Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs.
1980 - A long-term border dispute erupted into full-scale war when Iraq attacked Iran. A cease-fire was not in effect until August 1988.
1987 - Walter Payton scored his 107th touchdown to break the NFL record held by Jim Brown.
1998 - Cal Ripken, Jr., (Baltimore Orioles) ended his record streak of playing in 2,632 games.
2002 - Tom Gamboa, coach of the Kansas City Royals, was attacked by a man and his son while he was standing near first base.
2004 - CBS News announced that they could not authenticate several documents that had been used in a "60 Minutes" story that questioned U.S. President George Bush's service in the National Guard. Two days later CBS announced that a panel would be appointed to investigate the story.

Enjoy your day!
