Somehow, this week in right-now, we screwed up and reversed our weekend post order.  We don’t think anyone noticed, but if you did, UPH is sorry, and will bake you cookies or something.

This week in history….

8/9 /67 Happy Birthday to Deion Sanders, who is awesome because he was on both the Cowboys and the Yankees, and thus can be hated or cheered by more people who love more sports than almost anyone.

8/10/85 Uno Lindstron of Sweden juggles a soccer ball 13.11 miles.  We’re not quite sure if this counts as sports, or as weird, but we thought we’d tell you anyway.

8/11/51 The NY Giants lose to go more than 13 games back in the pennant race to the Brooklyn Dodgers…and later win the pennant.  Listening, Sox fans?

8/12/94 Sad day: the MLB strike begins. Sonya Sotomayor, thanks a bunch, by the way!

8/13/1910 Dodgers and Pirates play to 8-8 tie, both have 38 at bats, 13 hits, 12 assists, 2 errors, 5 strikeouts, 3 walks, 1 pass ball and 1 hit by pitch.  Holy crap.

8/14/59  Happy Birthday, Magic Johnson!!!  We’re going to post about you tomorrow, by the way.  Just so you know and all.

8/15/50 Nothing happened on 8/15.  Except Princess Anne’s birthday, and she was an Olympic equestrian for Britain (I bet they let her skip the tryouts!).  So that counts, right?
