I figured anyone could put a post up about what happened this day in history. Not just today, but whenever today may be!

October 27, 2004 - Red Sox will win the World Series, breaking the curse and win since 1918. (They win under the reddish lunar eclipse that occurs during that time).

I certainly hope not, although it could burst someone's bubble if the Red Sox lose in the playoffs next year. Anyone hear Manny Ramirez' quote after he won MVP of the series? They asked him about the curse and he said, "I don't believe in curses, I believe you make your own destination." lol. I believe that as well. :yes:

1962 -- Using a fiberglass pole, John Uelses becomes the first man to vault more than 16 feet, indoors or out. Uelses, a Marine Corps corporal, clears 16-0\ during the Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden in New York.

2001 -- Stacy Dragila takes center stage at the Millrose Games in New York, breaking her world indoor pole vault record by a half-inch with a 15-2\ vault.
