This is the anniversary of the first All-Star game, in 1933. Congrats, Nunez!

We who have witnessed the obscenity of war and experienced its horror and terrible consequences have an obligation to rise above our pain and suffering and turn the tragedy of our lives into a triumph.

"From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me. The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me."

On this day in 1910, Old Comiskey opened. I leave it to you to decide whether this signalled the fall of western civilization. "The park was built on a former city dump that Comiskey bought in 1909 to replace the wooden South Side Park."

On this day in 1613, the Globe Theater burned to the ground. No word on whether spoons noticed.

On this day in 1630, Governor John Winthrop introduced the fork to America. And the obesity epidemic began.

I'm throwing this back. Looks like spoons didn't get up in time to go fishin'.
