Weird, right? 1984 marked the second year in a row that I did not see a Kansas City game in person. Life was starting to get in the way, and it didn’t help that I lived 500 miles away.
DNA profiling was developed in 1984. The U.S. had a mild recession which led to 70 bank failures. In July, a gunman walked into a McDonald’s in suburban San Diego and killed 21 people.
