On this day in...
30 BC – Battle of Alexandria: Mark Antony achieves a minor victory over Octavian's forces, but most of his army subsequently deserts, leading to his suicide.
1588 – The Spanish Armada is spotted off the coast of England.
1945 – John K. Giles attempts to escape from Alcatraz prison.
1961 – At Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, the first All-Star Game tie in major league baseball history occurs when the game is stopped in the 9th inning because of rain.
1981 – 42-day strike of Major League Baseball ends in the United States.
2008 – Manny Ramirez is traded from the Boston Red Sox, in a three way trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Births
1956 – Bill Callahan, American football coach
1958 – Mark Cuban, American businessman and basketball team owner
1962 – Wesley Snipes, American actor
1965 – John Laurinaitis, American professional wrestler
1965 – J. K. Rowling, British writer
1980 – Harry Potter, Fictional character from the Harry Potter book series
So let me get thirs stright. J.K. Rowling gave Harry Potter the same birthday as herself? Egotistical. J.K. Rowling is a woman correct? I honestly have no idea. I have no interest in those films.
