Garrett's birthday

Right now in Chicago there is a little kid that's turning two years old and he probably has no idea that in Pittsburgh, of all places, there is a legion of people who will never forget the day he was born. I'm talking, of course, about Garrett Mackowiak. Exactly two years ago came the most memorable night of my life at a ball park, the night that Rob Mackowiak hit a walkoff grand slam in the first half of a double header, then hit a two run homer in the bottom of the 9th to tie the second half, only to have Craig Wilson win it with a walkoff homer in the 10th. I linked to this last night, but here's the post I did last year about the first anniversary of the game, just change all the ones to twos and it's still appropriate. Happy birthday, Garrett.
