Because you're so adept at math you have deduced that she's a child of the 29th Olympiad in Beijing, China -- born on 8/8/8 -- great fortune for the AJM family!
On August, 8th, 2008 the Padres squared off against the Rockies in Colorado and fell 6-3.
At the start of the game there was an 8mph wind blowing in from CF.
Jake Peavy got the loss and saw his record move to 8-8.
Glendon Rusch improved to 5-3. If one were to add Rusch's decisions it would = 8.
For some strange reason the game started at 7:08 instead of 7:05. It was 8:08 in Chicago.
The Padres could only score during two innings. One of which was the 8th.
Nick Hundley had an RBI. It was his 8th of the year.
Troy Tulowitzki grounded into a double play. For the 8th time in 2008.
Kevin Kouzmanoff, Nick Hundley, and Tadahito Iguchi each saw 8 strikes that night.
Clint Barmes and Brad Hawpe each saw 8 strikes as well. Brad Hawpe was OK in 2008.
Padres pitchers, Jake Peavy, Cla Meredith, Wil Ledezma, and Clay Hensley combined to walk 8 batters across 8 innings.
Manny Corpas got the hold for the Rockies bullpen. He did it in the 8th.
For the Padres, Tadahito Iguchi hit in the 8-hole while Scott Hairston played CF, field position 8.
There are 8 letters in Iguchi's first name and 8 letters in Scott's last name.
For the Rockies, Yorvit Torrealba hit in the 8-hole while Willie Taveras played CF, field position 8.
There are 6 letters in Torrealba's first name and 7 letters in Willie's last name. Jerks!
Michael Barrett wore number 8 in 2008. He stunk.
On 8/8/8 Chase Headley took his position in LF. Chase is the only player on the field that night who is on the current 25 man roster. Nick Hundley is the only other player who took the field that night who is still in the Padres organization.
Chase went 2 for 4 with a run scored on 8/8/8 seeing his average improve to .252
Chase Headley is the link to my daughter's birth. I feel like he needs to remain a Padre. Forever.
On 8/8/9 Chase went 2 for 4 seeing his average improve to .251. The Padres defeated the Mets 3-1 and Mat Latos improved to 4-1. Chris Burke and Kyle Blanks both wore number 8 in 2009.
On 8/8/10 Chase Headley went 1 for 4 seeing his average improve to .277 as the Padres defeated the D-Backs 10-1. He saw 8 strikes during the game. So did Chris Denorfia and Scott Hairston. Denorfia also hit his 8th HR of the year. Mat Latos won to improve to 12-5. Yorvit Torrealba wore number 8.
On 8/8/11 Chase Headley went for treatment. He was on the disabled list. The Padres scored 8 runs but lost to the Mets. The Metropolitans scored 9 runs. Which is better. Tim Stauffer hit his 8th batter of the year and Heath Bell threw 2 wild pitches giving him 8 for the year. Jason Bartlett wore number 8.
On 8/8/12 . . . . well the game just started. I'll update these coincidences later. Here's the update.
