Blow Out the Candles July 18


Two time Gold medalist and five time World Champion figure skater, Dick Button is 82 today.

Dick's 1952 Olso Gold Medal
I can't think of figure skating without thinking of Dick. Seriously though, certain commentators are just synonymous with their sport and Button is that when it comes to figure skating.




Long time player and manager Joe Torre is celebrating his 71st birthday today.
