A word about May 30






We remember May 30:

On May 30, 1922, The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated.   It was 57 years after Lincoln died.  

Indy 500:    The Indianapolis 500 is always a real treat.   It all got started in 1911 when Ray Harround came in first.

Yankee history:    On this day in 1956, Mickey Mantle hit one of the most memorable home runs in his career.   It happened on the second game of a doubleheader with the Washington Senators.  He hit a pitch from Pedro Ramos that came within 18 inches of leaving Yankee Stadium.  The experts said that the ball could have traveled more than 600 feet.
