A word about May 6






We remember May 6:

Best player ever?   We remember Willie Mays who was born in Westfield, Alabama, on this day in 1931.  He broke with the Giants in 1951 and the rest of the story is one of the greatest careers in baseball history:   .302 career average, 3,283 hits, 660 HR, 1,903 RBI, & the first 30 HR-30 stolen bases player ever.   

Tragedy:  It happened on this day in 1937 when the Hindenburg burst into flames killing 36 passengers and crew members.   Catch the audio.

1970 and the last Beatles' 45:   "The long and winding road", with "For you blue" on the B-side.  The singe reached # 1 on Billboard in June.

1915:  Babe Ruth hit his first home run or # 1 of 714..

1957:   CBS aired the last “I Love Lucy” episode. It was the 181st episode of one of the most successful TV shows ever.
