Day of the Day: September 24

September 24 is the 268th day of this (leap) year and my birthday. In honor of the fighting 268th I've decided to do a little research.

Key Events
1789- The U.S. Congress passed the First Judiciary Act. The act provided for an Attorney General and a Supreme Court.
1869- "Black Friday." Lots of people lose money when some rich people try to take advantage of the gold market. (Sound familiar?)
1934- Babe Ruth plays his last game as a Yankee. 74 years later, wah wah wah...
1968- 60 Minutes Debuted. Old people rejoiced.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Novelist
Jim Henson, Puppeteer
Phil Hartman, Actor
Kevin Sorbo, Hercules
Rafael Palmeiro, Habitual Liar and Steroid User
