In 1933, on this day, FDR signed a law which once again legalized the selling of beer and wine. I think I'll go out today and celebrate that fact... With Aaron Boone's heart ailment - does that open the door for a trade between Houston and the A's for Bobby Crosby?... Twenty years ago to the very day - Clint Malarchuck almost bled to death on the ice after having his throat slit by a skate while playing goalie for the Sabers.
