It was the day Roy Halladay threw his No Hitter against the Reds.
After the first inning I posted, "NO HITTER ALERT" as a joke because he mowed them down in the first inning. From there on, the tension built up, every inning getting crazier and crazier. By the 7th inning the thread was in full "Holy shit" mode. When it got to the 9th there was nothing but sheer disbelief and awesomeness. After it happened...Holy hell.
Since then, nothing has been the same. Food tastes different. Although that could be due to a mix of alcoholism and COVID. As I walk by people on the street I often wonder "Do they know who I am? Do they know I'm the NO HITTER ALERT guy?" Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night sweating. Again could be the other stuff, but still. My wife asking things like "Who's Roy?" I can't even watch baseball anymore in public and certainly not wearing sweat pants due to overt sexual arousal. I get one tattoo a year in honor of the event. This year I got one across my back of Umpire Dave West in the sexy shirtless Costanza pose. Anyway...kind of a big day. Go Phillies.
