Pro Football Hall of Famer Y. A. Tittle born OTD in 1924. He played a longtime in the NFL mainly with @49ers & @nygiants. He led the Giants to three straight Eastern Conference titles from 1961 to 1963 and had a magnificent session in 1963! @sigg20 @AndyFurmanFSR

Hall of Famer Dave DeBusschere born OTD in 1940. He was a terrific shooter, an excellent rebounder and a great defensive player! And he was completely unselfish! He helped @nyknicks win two Championships! Could have been a fine @MLB pitcher, too! @sigg20 @AndyFurmanFSR

"Instead of the notoriety, I'd rather have won the game."
Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt .45's. Became the only pitcher to lose complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten, 1–0, by Cincinnati.
The inning run was scored by Pete Rose in the top of the ninth inning via an error, ground out, another error.
Opposing pitcher Joe Nuxhall retired the side in the bottom half to make Johnson a no-hit loser.
Ken Johnson still is the ONLY player to ever lose an official no-hitter by himself, 1964.

"He never smiled, but he had the keys to Cooperstown.
No major leaguer ever got into the Baseball HOF, if Holtzman didn’t want him there."
Jerome "The Dean" Holtzman.
Holtzman created the, "Save Stat" in 1959, the first official new baseball statistic since the introduction of the RBI in 1920.
MLB officially adopted the save in 1969.
With then Cubs Mgr. Don Zimmer.
"No Cheering in the Press Box."
