Quickies:
1970: Jim Bunning becomes the second pitcher to
win 100 games in both leagues. The only other was Cy Young. Bunning went on to
be a Senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Just go to Casey’s.
1953: Terry Bollea was born in Georgia. Famous
as Hulk Hogan, Bollea has had a long career as an actor and professional
wrestler. Hogan has also appeared on Kim
Possible and Gnomeo and Juliet. The
Agent P game is perfect, remembering that it used to be the Kim Possible
Challenge.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting
for your dreams to come true.
