On this day in...
1858 – First news dispatch by telegraph.
1920 – The 19th amendment to United States Constitution takes effect, giving women the right to vote.
1939 – The first Major League Baseball game is telecast, a doubleheader between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field, in Brooklyn, New York.
1968 – The Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, Illinois.
Births
1935 – Geraldine Ferraro, U.S. Vice Presidential candidate
1956 – Mark Mangino, American football coach
1959 – Stan Van Gundy, American basketball coach
1980 – Macaulay Culkin, American actor
Glad to see its Macauly Culkin's birthday. Who didn't want to be Macauly when they were 8 years old? I kind of expected him to make a stronger comeback after 'Saved.' Anyone see that movie? It was really good.
