Default Re: This Day In History
A few years back, in 64, Rome burned. I don't know how long it took to build it, nor if Nero fiddled. In 1925 Adolf Hitler published Mein Kampf, which became the best-selling piece of crap writing until the likes of L. Ron and J. K. came along. In 1914 Wobbly organizer and singer Joe Hill was sentenced to death in Utah, even though the evidence of the murder charges was meager. I did not dream I saw him last night. And in the only event I witnessed, in 1999 Yankee pitcher David Cone threw a perfect game against the Montreal Expos in The Bronx. It only took Coney 88 pitches to record the 27 outs, so he definitely wasn't jerking off that day.
