Harmon Killebrew was born OTD in 1936. When he retired in 1975 only four players had more HRs than his 573 and he’s currently 12th all time. He was a superb baseball player & an even better person. He would’ve turned 90 today. #RIP

The oldest known photograph in Texas history. Taken in 1849, it shows the Alamo Mission just 13 years after the famous battle in which James Bowie, Davy Crockett, and William B. Travis were killed.

The Alamo Mission was originally founded as a Spanish mission in the early 18th century before becoming the site of one of the most famous battles in American history. From February 23 to March 6, 1836, a small Texian force defended the mission against a much larger Mexican army led by Antonio López de Santa Anna. After a 13-day siege, the defenders were overwhelmed, and nearly all were killed.

The battle soon became a powerful rallying cry for the Texas Revolution. Just six weeks later, Texian forces led by Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, securing Texas independence.

By 1849, when this photograph was taken, the Alamo had already become a symbol of Texas identity. The building looked noticeably different from how it appears today, as the iconic curved parapet above the chapel façade had not yet been added. That feature was constructed later in the 1850s by the U.S. Army.

The image is especially remarkable because it was captured just 10 years after the invention of practical photography and only 13 years after the battle itself. Some people who fought at the Alamo, survived the Texas Revolution, or personally knew Davy Crockett and William B. Travis were still alive when this photograph was taken, creating an unusually short connection between a defining historical event and the earliest era of photography.

194 YEARS OLD. 🤯 Jonathan the tortoise was born around 1832. He has literally lived through the invention of the lightbulb, both World Wars, and the entire internet era. An absolute legend. 🐢👑

"Mickey Mantle had learned the rules of the celebrity game by watching Joe DiMaggio and Rocky Marciano, not Frank Sinatra—and neither paid any restaurateur’s rent.
Both were cheap on a heroic scale, but in a head-to-head contest the ballplayer would probably have edged out the boxer.
Throughout his illustrious career DiMaggio dined regularly at Rao’s, an exclusive southern Italian restaurant on East 114th Street in New York.
For years, while the tiny place was run by Vincent and Anna Rao, there was always a table for DiMaggio and never a bill at the end of the dinner.
After they died, their relatives Ron Straci and Frank Pellegrino followed the same policy.
Even in old age, DiMaggio always ate on the house.
That is, until the day Frank Pellegrino requested a small favor.
He waited until Joe had finished his coffee and then asked him for an autograph for a young boy at another table.
“You know, Frankie.
I get paid for signing autographs.”
DiMaggio said.
As he left the restaurant Frank Pellegrino told him:
“Joe, you are not welcome here anymore.”

If thousands of people gather to cheer your name being ripped off a building at 4:00 am, even though you ordered the work hidden behind a tarp, just imagine how long the lineup will be to piss on your grave. Try to put a tarp around that motherfucker!
