A Dad Saying
They say the first World Series is the one you remember most. No, no, no. I guarantee you don’t remember that one because the fantasy world you always dreamed about is suddenly real.

This Day in History
In 1881, The Earp brothers faced off against the Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shoot out at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.
In 1825, the Erie Canal opens, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean via the Hudson River.
