Today is the 50th anniversary of the 500th home run for Ernie Banks. The call by Jack Brickhouse is classic.

Fun fact: This happened a few weeks after The Beatles broke up.

Jack was so happy, you'd think that an intern was lying on the floor of the broadcast booth.

That is more of a generic fact... it isn't that fun. Apollo 13, the acquittal of the Chicago Seven... this was just days before the US lowered the voting age to 18. Tina Fey was born 6 days later -- that seems like much more fun.
