To put into perspective how long ago that was, Soriano was still in the minors. His first cup of coffee with the Yankees wasn't until 1999 when he got 8 plate appearances.

Totally. The summer of '98 was one of the best and the worst of my life (personally) -- at least the Cubs season was consistently fun.I know. I could have sworn it was yesterday.
I'm. So. Old.

It really does seam like it was only a couple of years ago. '98 was awesome. I had just turned 21, graduated college and was living in Indy on my own. I thought I was making money hand over fist and it went out as fast as it came in. I can't say I remember everything that happened that year, but it was one of the funnest periods of my life. Looking back on it, even though I had fun, I am glad about where I am in life now.Totally.

Change the name of the city, and this is pretty much my story (if you include some familial estrangement, a crazy girlfriend, and a month or so of Dead tour).It really does seam like it was only a couple of years ago.
