A word about May 24






We remember May 24: 

"Hey Mr. Tambourine Man":    We remember Robert Zimmerman who was born in Minnesota on this day in 1941.  We know him as Bob Dylan.

The bridge:    It took 14 years, and sadly 27 lives, but The Brooklyn Bridge opened on this day in 1883.   It connected Brooklyn and New York City and designed by John A. Roebling.

Baseball under the lights:   The first night game was on this day in 1935:   The Reds beat the Phillies 2-1 before 25,000 happy home team fans!

Tigers '84:   Back in 1984, the Detroit Tigers got off to a 35-5 start.    That's winning 87% of your first 40 games.     The Tigers ended up with 104 wins.   They beat KC in the ALCS and defeated San Diego in 5 games in the World Series.    Great team.
