On this day in 1966 the US Supreme Court voted 4-3 to allow the Braves to move to Atlanta.
On this day in 2024 we all wondered “why the hell do you need the Supreme Court for that!?”

On this day in 1974 the Seattle Seahawks were formed!
While the team itself would see continued success over the years, it came at the expense of the RAGE of ornithologists everywhere, who know all-too-well the proper term is Osprey, not Seahawk!

On this day in 2005 “the trade” happened!
No, not that trade. The Jumbo Joe Thornton trade!
Thornton was named the only player in NHL history to win the Hart Trophy in a season in which they were traded.
Happy retirement, Joe! We’re sad you never scored the 4 goals! #fourgoalthornton

Since we’re on the topic of racing, on this day in 1895 the very first auto race in America was held! A 6-car affair, averaging a riveting 7mph!
But were they as badass as Duncan Hamilton? We doubt it.

On this day in 1917 the National Hockey League came into existence. Once the paperwork was signed, suddenly everybody in Toronto started hating Montreal, and vice versa.
To this day it is still customary to yell “Leafs/Habs suck!” at any opportunity.
