KT Behind The "8" Ball

Picked up this interesting little tid-bit over at Friar John's blog.

http://padres.mlblogs.com/

Seems that KT has had exceptional success in years ending with 8.

"Padres general manager Kevin Towers has a history of coming out on top in years that end with 8.

-1968: Sonoma Little League champions with the Bears.

-1978: Oregon state class 3A co-champions in football with Medford High School.

-1988: Pacific Coast League champions with the Las Vegas Stars.

-1998: National League champions with the Padres.

Detect a trend here? It's a good one for Padres fans."

Sounds great to me. I'll buy into that!

Padres doing great
The KT trend continues
In two thousand eight
Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
