HUCKABY: If it ends in a '2,' it's bound to be a good year

20.05.12

Because it ends in "two" and only like baseball's "been very, very good" to Garrett Morris of SNL fame, years that end in two have been very, very good to me. To begin with, I was born in 1952 -- and being born was a very fortuitous happenstance. 1962 was the year Topps surrounded the portraits on their baseball cards with wood-bit paneling. Know how I know. Finally a year I know how to pronounce. I still have my Mickey Mantle card from that year and it is in almost pots condition. Honesty compels me to admit that I don't remember much of what went on that year, but I have heard that Eisenhower got elected and everybody liked Ike, or at least so the crusade buttons claim. Happy New Year, y'all. It's going to be a great year.
