SIGNIFICANT HISTORY
2016: Philadelphia 76ers drafted Ben Simmons out of LSU with the 1st overall pick in the NBA Draft. Other notable moves included Lakers landing SF Brandon Ingram (#2), Celtics claiming SF Jaylen Brown (#3), Nuggets snagging PG Jamal Murray (#7), Toronto taking PF Pascal Siakam 27th overall, and PF Domantas Sabonis going 11th to Indiana
2012: Philadelphia Phillies 1B Jim Thome hit the 13th walk-off HR of his career, breaking the MLB record which still stands as the record today
2011: Despite playing just 9 games at Duke, PG Kyrie Irving was drafted with the 1st overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Spurs acquired SF Kawhi Leonard (15th pick) and PF Davis Bertans (42nd pick) from the Pacers for PG George Hill. PG Isaiah Thomas went last (#60 to SAC)
2008: Seattle Mariners SP Felix Hernandez hit a Grand Slam in a victory over the New York Mets, becoming the 1st pitcher since Steve Dunning in 1971 to hit a GS
2005: San Antonio Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons in Game 7 to win their 3rd NBA Championship in franchise history, all in the Popovich–Duncan era
2003: San Francisco Giants OF Barry Bonds became the very 1st player to record 500 HR and 500 SB in MLB history. Bonds is still the only member of the 500-HR club with even 350+ SB
1988: Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets’ expansion draft officially took place where the Hornets snagged G Dell Curry with their 1st pick
1973: Philadelphia Phillies P Ken Brett hit a HR in his 4th consecutive game, an MLB record for a pitcher
1917: Boston Red Sox SP Babe Ruth argues after each ball called on the leadoff batter — after ball 4, he punches the umpire’s jaw and is ejected; his replacement, Ernie Shore, retires all 26 men he faces in a 4-0 win, getting credit for a perfect game
