It's June 4, 2022! Which means that it's the 13th anniversary of Randy Johnson's 300th Win, the signature baseball moment of my lifetime. Which also means that it's time for my favorite holiday of the year, the one that I made and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person to celebrate.
Happy Randy Johnson's 300th Win Day!
It hasn't exactly been the best day for me. I woke up after only three hours of sleep from a throbbing pain in my ear. I knew I had developed an ear infection, but in order to get any antibiotics I had to go to a 24-hour emergency room. Then I found out that my Nintendo Switch no longer reads any of my cartridges, so I am probably going to have to send it in to Nintendo for them to repair. It hasn't been all bad. I did get to go to my first baseball game in person on June 4 since the historic double-header in 2009. And it was a Rangers 3-2 victory that took 2 hours 30 minutes, which happened to be the running time for Randy Johnson's 300th win 13 years ago today!

I've written way too much about the milestone game itself over the years that I don't think I'm going to do so again. (But you darn well know I'm going to watch it again). But I do feel it could be a good time to update about a variety of subjects, including the progress of hopefuls for the next 300-game-winner.
