Baseball Hall of Fame founded in Cooperstown, New
York. Ty Cobb got more votes than Babe Ruth in the
inaugural Hall of Fame roster. Ty was a great player,
but apparently not well-liked by his peers. Only four
members of the Baseball community went his funeral.
In Raynham Hall in England, photographers Indre Shira
and Captain Provand took a picture of 'The Brown Lady,'
one of the most famous ghost pictures in the world...
Fiesta dinnerware was founded, only to be discontinued
in 1973. The antique after-marker for the products
was so hot that the company was founded again in 1986.
It now discontinues/changes colors and product lines,
keeping a 'collectability' most brands do not have.
Geico (the Government Employees Insurance Company)
was founded.
