The boy was nine years old in 1984 and the Padres disillusioned him.
The teenager was fourteen years old in 1989 and the Giants stomped him.
The groom was twenty-three years old in 1998 and the Braves scalped him.
The expectant father was twenty-eight years old in 2003 and the Marlins speared him.
The breadwinner was thirty-two years old in 2007 and the Diamondbacks bit him.
