Bob, you are always just scratching the surface in your posts. You shouldn't be so selective.

Well, at least no one can accuse me of not trying to be thorough and complete. World might be a much better place if more people were like that, don't you think?

Nearing the end of Nolan Ryan's 7th No-Hitter, regular TV programming took a back seat as the game was instantly live televised over the major TV networks.

I am probably missing some similar sports events, but I just can't recall this ever happening in my coherent life ever before.

That's easy:

April 15, 1947 - Jackie Robinson's debut.


IMO, nothing else is close.

Aaron 715 is such a fitting bookend to that.
