We remember Frank Robinson (1935-2019)
We remember Frank Robinson who was born on this day in 1935. He died in 2019 at age 83.
Frank was the MVP in both leagues: 1961 with the NL champs Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore 1966. As an Oriole, he led the O's to 4 AL pennants and the World Series in 1966 & 1970.
Frank's career was more than numbers. He was the team leader and a credit to the game of baseball. In 1982, Frank was selected to The Hall of Fame.
We remember Peggy Lipton (1946-2019)
She played "Julie" in "The Mod Squad" on TV. I did not know that Peggy was married to Quincy Jones, 1974-90.
1959: Koufax and 18 strikeouts!
On August 31, 1959, a young Sandy Koufax struck out 18 Giants. It set a new National League record for most strikeouts in a single game.

1980: Polish workers stood up to the communist state
On this day in 1980, Poland exploded when representatives of the communist government of Poland agreed to the demands of striking shipyard workers in the city of Gdansk.
It was the beginning of the end for the USSR. The whole system collapsed of its own weight at the end of 1991.
We remember those Polish workers, along with the Hungarians of 1956 and the Czechs of 1968. They were anti-communist heroes of the 20th century.
