Wednesday|NNP ,|, 19|CD May|NNP 2010|CD The|DT Internet|NN occasionally|RB reminds|VBZ me|PRP of|IN how|WRB different|JJ life|NN is|VBZ because|IN of|IN it|PRP .|. 
I|PRP noted|VBD on|IN Facebook|NNP that|IN ,|, from|IN a|DT statistical|JJ perspective|NN ,|, what|WP makes|VBZ baseball|NN such|JJ an|DT amazing|JJ sport|NN is|VBZ that|IN you|PRP can|MD watch|VB it|PRP your|PRP$ entire|JJ life|NN and|CC still|RB see|VB ,|, on|IN a|DT daily|JJ basis|NN ,|, something|NN you|PRP ’ve|VBP never|RB seen|VBN before|RB .|. 
(|( It|PRP ’s|VBZ a|DT truism|NN ,|, I|PRP know|VBP ,|, but|CC it|PRP has|VBZ the|DT benefit|NN of|IN actually|RB being|VBG true|JJ .|. 
)|) In|IN this|DT case|NN ,|, the|DT something|NN in|IN question|NN was|VBD watching|VBG the|DT wonderfully|RB named|VBN Angel|NNP Pagan|NNP hit|VBD an|DT inside-the-park|JJ home|NN run|NN and|CC initiate|VB a|DT triple|JJ play|NN in|IN the|DT same|JJ game|NN .|. 
John|NNP Emerson|NNP responded|VBD with|IN some|DT humbug|NN about|IN it|PRP not|RB being|VBG an|DT inside-the-park|JJ grand|JJ slam|VBP ,|, which|WDT made|VBD me|PRP remember|VBP that|IN I|PRP had|VBD seen|VBN an|DT inside-the-park|JJ grand|JJ slam|VBP at|IN some|DT time|NN in|IN the|DT remote|JJ past|NN .|. 

I|PRP remember|VBP being|VBG six|CD or|CC seven|CD years|NNS old|JJ and|CC watching|VBG the|DT Mets|NNP play|NN the|DT Cardinals|NNPS in|IN an|DT afternoon|NN game|NN at|IN Shea|NNP Stadium|NNP ,|, and|CC thanks|NNS to|TO the|DT miracle|NN of|IN the|DT Internet|NN ,|, I|PRP can|MD definitively|RB say|VB that|IN at|IN approximately|RB 4:30|NN p.m.|NN on|IN 9|CD June|NNP 1985|CD ,|, I|PRP watched|VBD Terry|NNP Pendleton|NNP hit|VBD an|DT inside-the-park|JJ grand|JJ slam|VBP off|RP Joe|NNP Sambito|NNP in|IN a|DT game|NN the|DT Cardinals|NNPS would|MD go|VB on|IN to|TO win|VB handily|RB .|. 
The|DT fact|NN that|IN I|PRP can|MD verify|VB vague|JJ memories|NNS of|IN events|NNS that|WDT occurred|VBD twenty-five|JJ years|NNS ago|RB astounds|VBZ me|PRP in|IN a|DT way|NN I|PRP sometimes|RB forget|VBP the|DT Internet|NN is|VBZ capable|JJ of|IN doing|VBG .|. 

This|DT realization|NN is|VBZ obviously|RB not|RB of|IN world-historical|JJ importance|NN ,|, merely|RB a|DT reminder|NN that|IN this|DT thing|NN whose|WP$ existence|NN we|PRP take|VBP for|IN granted|VBN daily|JJ represents|VBZ a|DT fundamentally|RB weird|JJ complement|VB to|TO human|JJ memory|NN .|. 
The|DT fact|NN that|IN at|IN some|DT point|NN in|IN the|DT future|JJ I|PRP can|MD know|VB who|WP I|PRP rode|VBD in|IN an|DT elevator|NN with|IN on|IN 28|CD December|NNP 2005|CD is|VBZ less|RBR weird|JJ because|IN I|PRP chose|VBD to|TO write|VB about|IN riding|VBG in|IN an|DT elevator|NN with|IN Grimace|NNP .|. 
That|DT I|PRP can|MD access|VB detailed|JJ information|NN about|IN events|NNS I|PRP have|VBP no|DT right|NN remembering|VBG in|IN detail|NN is|VBZ another|DT matter|NN entirely|RB .|. 

Joe|NNP Sambito|NNP .|. 
Wow|UH .|. 
I|PRP 'd|MD completely|RB forgotten|VBN about|IN him|PRP .|. 
I|PRP sometimes|RB wish|VBP I|PRP could|MD forget|VB that|IN Pendelton|NNP is|VBZ the|DT Braves|NNPS hitting|VBG coach|NN .|. 
Closest|NNP I|PRP came|VBD to|TO that|DT was|VBD watching|VBG Dale|NNP Murphy|NNP get|VB tagged|VBN out|RB at|IN the|DT plate|NN on|IN what|WP would|MD have|VB been|VBN an|DT inside-the-park|JJ slam|VBP .|.

He|PRP pitched|VBD for|IN the|DT Astros|NNP before|IN he|PRP came|VBD to|TO the|DT Mets|NNP ,|, stayed|VBD for|IN '|POS 85|CD ,|, then|RB he|PRP pitched|VBD for|IN the|DT Red|NNP Sox|NNP against|IN the|DT Mets|NNP in|IN '|POS 86|CD World|NNP Series|NNP .|. 
I|PRP remember|VBP him|PRP being|VBG ineffective|JJ ,|, and|CC as|IN it|PRP turns|VBZ out|IN ,|, he|PRP was|VBD .|. 
Now|RB that|IN I|PRP remember|VBP him|PRP ,|, which|WDT I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB before|RB ,|, I|PRP remember|VBP him|PRP as|IN being|VBG the|DT pitcher|NN who|WP 'd|MD pitched|VBN for|IN 1|CD )|) the|DT team|NN the|DT Mets|NNP faced|VBD to|TO get|VB to|TO the|DT '|POS 86|CD Series|NNP and|CC 2|CD )|) the|DT one|CD they|PRP faced|VBD in|IN it|PRP .|.

Apparently|RB the|DT drug|NN use|NN ,|, sexual|JJ excess|NN ,|, and|CC weird|JJ UCI|NNP experiences|NNS have|VBP n't|RB softened|VBN your|PRP$ brain|NN yet|RB .|. 

What|WP 's|VBZ really|RB bothersome|JJ ,|, though|RB ,|, is|VBZ when|WRB you|PRP only|RB remember|VBP things|NNS from|IN your|PRP$ distant|JJ past|NN .|.
