OMG OMG OMG. Kidding. But seriously, today is a special day. On this day in history, September 18th, the following things happened: The Roman emperor Nerva was assasinated There was a peasant uprising in Transilvania (1437) Chris Columbus landed in Costa Rica on his fourth and final voyage (1502) Chilean independence from Spain (1810) Baseball rules 1st baseman can tag base for out instead of runner (1848) And in 1978, all four Kiss members released solo albums. (all previous info courtesy http://www.onthisday.com/events/september/18) But the most important thing happened in 1998, when in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a woman named Kelley Pulisic gave birth to a baby boy named Christian. Kelley didn't know it at the time (or maybe she did), but her baby boy would go on to capture the hearts and minds of soccer fans all over the world. He'd go on to play in the Bundesliga, to play in World Cup qualifiers, to play in the Champions League, and who knows where else....
