We remember May 9


May 9, 2020 Calendar with Holidays & Count Down - USA

We remember May 9:

"Hello dolly":  On this day in 1964, Louis Armstrong ended The Beatles' historic domination of the US pop charts.   The band from the UK had the # 1 song on Billboard for 100 days.  It was truly amazing! 


Hall of Famer:    We remember Tony Gwynn who was born on this day in 1960.  He put together an amazing career:  .338 career average or the best since Ted Williams retired with a .344 average.   Unfortunately, I did not get to see Gwynn play because I’ve always lived in AL cities.   He was the quiet superstar and best pure hitter since Rod Carew.
