another unlikely occurrence of the day

We began studying OCD in psych class today. When asked to name an athlete with the disorder, many people in the room came up with Nomar Garciaparra. When challenged to demonstrate why we thought so, I was the only person willing to get up to impersonate him. The teacher was pleased with my portrayal, but despite having offered a quarter to anybody who did it, he didn't give me one. If he had offered extra credit I bet half the people in the room would have volunteered. To be fair, most of them would have been in their early teens when NG left the Boston area, so they might not remember the ritual very well.
