I was born in January of 1980. The Indians were about a .500 team in both '79 and '80. No complaints I guess.

Born 3/31/76. No game for the Pirates that day (1st game was 4/10/76). The Pirates finished 1976 92-70, 9 games back of the Phillies.

Out of my 31 years on this earth, the Pirates have finished above .500 11 times and have 1 World Series (1979). Unfortunately, I only remember 3 seasons above .500 (90-92). Yikes...

Re: How did your team do when you were born?

I was born in January in 1986 so the Twins weren't playing. However they did go 71-91 during the 1986 season.

The San Diego Padres did not exist when I was born.

Re: How did your team do when you were born?

Since I was born at 12:05 AM on August 26th, I guess the game I have a closer claim to would be the one on the 25th.

On the 25th, the Braves won on the road in Philly, 12-2, behind five RBI from Chris Chambliss and three from Murph. The only real thing of note was that it was the last game Dale played at 1B in his ML career. Niekro got the start, and the win.

On the 26th, the Braves again won in Philly, 5-3 in ten innings. Gaylord Perry got the start, with Rick Camp getting the win. Of note because Perry hit the last of his five career HRs in the game.

At the end of August 26th, the Braves were 11-6 in the second half, and in control of first place in the West by a half game. Overall they were 36-35-1 and sitting nine games back.

Re: How did your team do when you were born?

Jeez....I cannot believe how many of you were born after I graduated from High School or College(well left college but that's a different story)

In 1965...my Mets were a DISMAL 50-112 finishing 10th in the N.L.(that's right kiddies....only ONE "division" also known as the NATIONAL LEAGUE

Anyway...on my birthday we lost to the Braves...."what?" you say oh young ones.....Atlanta wasn't in the league in 1965!.....true my friends...very true...it was the MILWAUKEE BRAVES who beat the Mets 8-6 that day.......HANK AARON and EDDIE MATHEWS homered for the Braves that day....and doing the catching for the Braves....JOE TORRE!..

The losing pitcher for the Mets that day...none other than Warren Spahn....

Wrap your brains around that one!...

Re: How did your team do when you were born?

The Rockies were not a team until 10 years later (born in '83)...but in their first year on my birthday - June 29th, 1993 - they lost 6-4 at Atlanta to fall to 26-49 and a whopping 24.5 games out of first. However, for a bright spot, Andres Galarraga was hitting .411 up through that date.
