A captivating tanned Jean makes herself presentable before setting off for Jean Harlow Day at the World’s Fair, June 13, 1933. The previous day had been declared Jean Harlow day for the entire city of Chicago; this subsequent Jean Harlow Day was exclusive to the Exposition.

#OTD in 1922, Ken Williams hit three home runs, becoming the first American Leaguer to accomplish the feat in a game. His round-trippers led St. Louis to a 10-7 victory over Chicago at Sportsman's Park. Here’s a painting of the slugger at Fenway from that same year.

The theme this week is Jean with her pets; she had a huge soft spot for animals and owned quite a lot over the years! Everything from chickens, ducks, and horses as a child to numerous cats and dogs as an adult. ⁣

This week’s theme is a stark contrast to our last one: Harlow’s casual outfits. ⁣Here she is at her home at 214 South Beverly Glen in Holmby Hills; dressed in an adorable outfit of a button-up blouse, cardigan, simple skirt and her trademark white shoes. ⁣

Awesome to hear @Kurkjian_ESPN share the story of Buck O’Neil learning that Branch Rickey had signed Jackie Robinson into the Brooklyn Dodgers organization. Buck, serving in WWII in Subic Bay, Philippines grabbed the bullhorn & alerted the troop of the historic signing! @MLB RT
