1. Nope, but June 29th, 1912 was covered by "Somewhere In Time". |
|
Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
Lot of human beauty in that flick! B-)

2. Would that be the mutiny aboard the Russian battleship "Potemkin"? |

The Odessa Steps sequence is one of my favourite scenes from a film...amazing how much Eisenstein contributed to the visual art of cinema.
EDIT: Well, I was close. Google tells me I was only off by two days (the "Potemkin" mutiny occured 27 June 1905).

7. I thought that was in 1919 that the World Series was fixed and |

whatnot...
I could be wrong, here.

8. Graham didn't play in the WS. His was a totally different storyline. |

Much like the storyline about the father.
Here are Grahams stats for that game.....

9. Right, I see. I remember. He didn't get to bat. |

He played, but didn't bat.
So, today was the day he played?

10. *ding ding ding* we have a winner |

Archie played his first and last and only game 100 years ago today. No at bats.
From the movie: "Son, if I had only been a doctor for 5 minutes, now that would have been a tragedy"

I think that's Trout Festival weekend. PM me before you leave, and I'll send you my phone number. Maybe we can have lunch. :)

17. Yeah, it was a really great story. |

He wove together the story of the real Doc Graham and the movie. He really was a phenomenal person, and totally loved by the people in Chisholm, MN.
