On this day in 1986, Michael Jordan scored an NBA Playoff record 63 points in a loss to the Celtics. Larry Bird called him “Phenomenal;” Danny Ainge called him “Unstoppable”; and Bill Walton said, “Michael Jordan is to basketball what Jerry Garcia is to music! What Picasso is to art! What Scooby-Doo is to solving crimes!”
On this day in 1951, Luther Vandross was born. And thanks to his music, so were you.
On this day in 2008, Danica Patrick became the first woman to win an Indy race. You won’t believe this, but it turns out anyone can put their food on a pedal and push really hard.
On this day in 1979, President Carter was filmed fighting a swamp rabbit that was trying to get into his fishing boat. Or as Fox reports it: “Jimmy Carter killed the Easter Bunny.”
On this day in 1889, Adolph Hitler was born. I’m certainly not a fan but, celebrate if you musk.
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
