Shownotes

In 1905, Ty Cobb made his major league debut with the Detroit Tigers. He doubled in his first at-bat.

In 2003, Katie Knida kicked two PATs for the New Mexico Lobos in a 72-8 win over the Texas State Bobcats.

In 1904, the Olympic marathon turned from ridiculous to farce quickly. Nobody died, but a few came close.
