You will be telling that story for a long time...

Well, today is the anniversary date of Bobby Kennedy's assasination & Ronald Reagan's death. And if you're really into it in 1933 FDR took the US off the gold standard

I already mention Bobby Kennedy's assasination, but not the other 2. I got in early just after midnight...

June 4th 2003: This was my first time at GAPB. Me, my wife, and my son got there early for BP, our seats were in RF so me and the son took our gloves in hope of catching a batting practice HR. We moved all over that place, from one side to another, and nothing. Then comes the top of the 3rd inning, with 2 Outs Soriano singles, Giambi then hits a blast that just kept curving our way. I stood up, leaned to my left over my wife, and the lady next to her, reached up with my glove, and made the best back handed catch of my life. I had never even caught a foul ball up to that point, and haven't since, but it was like everything got quiet for a few seconds, and then all I could here was...THROW IT BACK THROW IT BACK. I handed the ball to my son, and told him to do whatever he wanted. He threw the ball back onto the field, and got a big applause, and the Reds came back and won 6-2. Oh, and it was also my B-Day.

 

 

Sorry for being a little late...but it was after mgidnight when I first seen this thread.

In 1968,Don Drysdale threw his 58th consecutive shutout inning.

On July 16, 1790, the Residence Act, which stipulated that the president select a site on the Potomac River as the permanent capital of the United States following a ten-year temporary residence in Philadelphia, was signed into law. In a proclamation issued on January 24, 1791, President George Washington announced the permanent location of the new capital, an area of land at the confluence of the Potomac and Eastern Branch (Anacostia) rivers that would eventually become the District of Columbia. Soon after, Washington commissioned French engineer Pierre-Charles L'Enfant to create a plan for the city.

 

This date in 1820, an abnormally large sperm whale attacked and sunk the whaling ship Essex 2,000 miles off the coast of South America. The survivors of the wreck were stranded in three small whale boats, and their journey included starvation and cannibalization, with only 7 of the 20 man crew surviving.

 

The historic incident is what inspired Herman Melville to write his novel, Moby Dick.

This date in 1963 - 50 years ago - President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas.

 

But did you know that CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley died the very same day as well?
