Default Re: This Day In History

Today in 1933, in Chicago's Comiskey Park, baseball's first All Star Game was played, won by the AL 4-2. There is no record of fans from Missouri stuffing the ballot box. In 1935, Tenzin Gyatso was born in Takster Tibet. Two years later he was proclaimed the 14th Dalai Lama. In 1957 Althea Gibson became the first African American to win at Wimbledon, though the terms used to designate her race were not as PC at the time. Of at least as significant culturally, on the same day, half a nation away to the NW, two Liverpudlians named John Lennon and Paul McCartney at the Woolton Parish Church Garden Fest, to which John's Quarry Men Skiffle Group had been invited to play. Paul was a rapt spectator who later impressed Lennon by playing his own guitar with more skill than John possessed at the time.

And in 1994 the movie Forrest Gump opened, not only becoming a smash hit but also winning Tom Hanks his second (and consecutive) Oscar for Best Actor. Run, Forrest, run!
