Hello to all,
For fun we are going to have a Trivia Question.
Who's Birthday is it this month?
It could be a PBA Pro, A place, A company, it is wide open.
I am not sure if we will make this a contest, yet we will see what the guesses are and go from there.
On the day of this Trivia questions big day, we will announce who it is.
Good luck!!!

Hmm no more guesses?
How about a hint? 
If this answer was a dog it would be young, yet not old enough to drink
So take how old the answer is and this should help narrow down your guesses.
