1768 Francois Auguste Rene Vicomte de Chateaubriand was born. Chateaubriand was a French writer and politician.

1957 Last game of the greatest baseball team in history. On September 4, the last game is played at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn as the Dodgers prepare to move to LA. On February 23 of 1960, they tear the stadium down. Days that will live in infamy. I guess you can tell I was born in Brooklyn.
