Given that it’s the seventh day of the eighth month, it can only mean one thing:
Sidney Crosby‘s havin’ a birthday!
Yep, 25 years ago today — 8/7/87, in case you’re wondering how the “87″ infatuation came to be — Sid the Kid was born.
Here’s a quick rundown of the things he’s accomplished in his first 25 years on the planet:
– Stanley Cup
– Richard, Art Ross, Hart and Lester B. Pearson trophies
– Olympic gold medal
– World Junior gold medal
– Four All-Star Games
