Pretty slow birthday day until the athletes saved it. If you can call softball or snowboarding athletics. I prefer to call them crap I don't watch. Although, I did see Jennie Finch pitch against Tech once in college and she was just as hot as advertised. She played pretty well too. So while I can say I have see Jennie Finch pitch, I never saw Satchel Page pitch!
