I'll always remember where I was when Kurt Cobain
died (April 1994): At College Park, Maryland, asleep
the night before ACF Nationals. Also that night, Kent
Mercker pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers, the game
in which Chan Ho Park made his major league debut as
a reliever.
There is some set of people who,
when asked where they were when the feds seized Elian
Gonzalez from his home (April 2000), can now answer: At
College Park, Maryland, asleep the night before ACF
Nationals.
And so the pop cultural references stick to it, no
matter how hard it tries to shed them. =)
