On this day in 1923, in Thebes, Egypt, English archaeologist Howard Carter enters the sealed burial chamber of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen. The above picture is from later the next day.

On this day in 1967, The Beatles released Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Their best album IMHO.

To many, Johan Santana stands as a cautionary tale against allowing pitchers to blow past their typical workloads in pursuit of no-hitters. On June 1, 2012, Mets manager Terry Collins allowed Santana to throw 134 pitches in an eight-strikeout, five-walk no-hit effort against the St. Louis Cardinals, the first no-hitter of Santana’s career and the first in Mets’ franchise history. That gem lowered Santana’s season ERA to 2.38, but he posted an 8.27 mark over his final ten starts of the season. He has not pitched in a Major League game since.

Debatable whether it was their best (Revolver? White Album? Abbey Road?), but it was (one of?) the first concept albums, and it really flowed from song to song. Start it at any song, and you HAVE to play it through. Nobody makes "albums" any more, they make songs. I miss those older days when it was a craft, not a formula.
Damn, 50 years. To cope with this, I need a little help from my friends. |
