Ok boys and girls....here's another installment of BostonTiggers History Lesson.
Today in 1897 Mark Twain was quoted by the New York Journal as saying "the report of my death was an exaggeration."
And for you sports fans out there....in 1941, Lou Gehrig died in New York.
in 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
in 1999, South Africans went to the polls in their second post-apartheid elections.
Well, hope you enjoyed this as much as I did...have fun everyone.
Edited to say...this was brought to you by little ol' me and the Boston Gobe. Now you didn't think I knew this stuff off the top of my head did you?
