Seven Score And Four

April 15th isn't just the day that taxes are due to federal and state governments.
On this date seven score and four years ago, Abraham Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet fired the night before.
It's also the day the Titanic sunk after hitting an iceberg the night before, an event that killed 1517 people and spawned multiple bad movies.

But April 15th isn't just a day of tragic or frightening events. It is also the sixty-second anniversary of the date that Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball.
I see from the date of my last post that this is something that I probably should do a little more often. Maybe this will be the trigger for some more posts.

Time will tell...
