Happy 21st Birthday Berg

On this day (May 3) in 1991 the Berg was born.  I don't know how many pounds and ounces the guy was, all I knew was that I had a little brother.  And it's been boy-oh-boy ever since.

With Berg turning 21 today I think it's an opportune time to give you some background on where the name "Berg" actually came from.  For those of you aren't fully aware of the name origin it all started back when we were kids.  During the days of summer it was standard for us to play out on the street and make trips to the community pool.  We would spend hours upon hours playing baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and any other sport we could think of until we got called in for dinner.

The house across the street from us had two boys roughly around the same age as Chase and I so competitive 2-on-2 games were conveniently arranged.  In our neighborhood also lived a couple of Anaheim Ducks hockey players.  Because of this, we were all into hockey.  We would play hockey with a tennis ball serving as our puck with one scorer and one goalie to a side.
