In 1992:

  2. George H. W. Bush fell violently ill and threw up in the lap of the Japanese Prime minister
  3. Boris Yeltsin announces that Russia will stop targeting cities of the United States and her allies with Nuclear Weapons
  4. Miley Cyrus was born
  5. Barney and Friends debuted on PBS
  6. Bill Clinton was elected president
  7. Aladdin was in theaters
  8. Jeffrey Dahmer pleaded guilty
  9. Johnny Carson retired from hosting The Tonight Show
  10. "I'm Too Sexy" hit number one
  11. Cartoon Network makes it's debut
  12. Compact discs outsell audio-cassettes for the first time in the United States
  13. ...and the Pittsburgh Pirates enjoyed a winning baseball season

The world looks a lot different than it did in 1992, but we're glad that the Pirates are finally back to where they were in 1992. Let's celebrate with Pittsburgh today. After 20 years, the losing streak is over. Well done, guys!

For those who are Pirates fans, here's a video of Andrew McCutchen from ESPN's E:60 that will make you feel good about the next 5-10 years as well. The post-season isn't guaranteed yet, but it looks good. Make sure to check arethepiratesintheplayoffs.com to see when they are officially in the playoffs.
