6. Phil Niekro pitched a no-hitter in 1973, and I was there.

It was Sunday, August 5, 1973. The Braves blanked the San Diego Padres at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium 9-0. I was so thrilled that I actually got to witness a no-no. Years later I started playing those lottery numbers. 1-3-5-7-8-19. 1 for Sunday, the first day of the week. 3 for the 3 in 1973. 5 for the fifth day of the month. 7 for the 7 in 1973. 8 for August, the eighth month. 19 for the 19 in 1973. I've been keeping those numbers covered in every drawing of the Missouri Lotto for 30 years now. One of these days they'll hit.
