Out of those? Total eclipse in person. I missed the annular one that was visible from up here a couple of years ago. Ironically, I was in Spain at the time so that my better half could bask in the Sun.....

You missed "An independant Scotland" off the poll!

Here's a list of some strange and unusual baseball plays (that's where I found the nine-pitch inning info).

My favorite is the batter who was retired K767. Yes, that's a strike-out, left fielder to shortstop to left-fielder.

It makes some difference. Just remember that I'm in the same boat-I feel the same way.
