I missed playing the Birthday Game yesterday. As a reminder the over/under was five. I scored an eight.

I had to go back and count. Only five cigars were smoked by me yesterday, but that Liga Privada A was a doozy. They give us one every year and I used to save them, but realistically when else am I going to have that kind of time? I did the same thing last year. It was quite enjoyable. I'm told they can be purchased for around $60 each. It wasn't THAT good.

Only 5?  I would say that's a pretty productive day Tony.

I got the impression at the event that they would do it again next year. Brad wants us all to get VIP tickets next year. I think they went for $400, but they also got two boxes of cigars that are worth at least that much.

Today is Sunday, Aug. 11, the 224th day of 2024.
There are 142 days left in the year.



Today in history:

On Aug. 11, 1934, the first federal prisoners arrived at Alcatraz Island, a former military prison, in San Francisco Bay; the island would be home to more than 1,500 prisoners over the next three decades, including gangsters Al Capone and James “Whitey” Bulger, before closing in 1963.


Also on this date:

In 1919, Germany’s Weimar Constitution was signed by President Friedrich Ebert.

In 1929, Babe Ruth became the first baseball player to reach 500 career home runs with a homer at Cleveland’s League Park.

In 1949, President Harry S. Truman nominated General Omar N. Bradley to become the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In 1952, Hussein bin Talal was proclaimed King of Jordan, beginning a reign lasting nearly 47 years.

In 1956, abstract painter Jackson Pollock died in an automobile accident on Long Island, New York at age 44.

In 1965, rioting that claimed 34 lives and lasted six days broke out in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles.

In 1972, the last U.S. ground combat troops in South Vietnam left to return to the United States.

In 1973, at a house party in the Bronx, 18-year-old DJ Kool Herc began extending the musical breaks of the records he was playing and speaking over the beat, marking the (unofficial) birth of hip-hop music.

In 1992, the Mall of America, the nation’s largest shopping-entertainment center, opened in Bloomington, Minnesota.

In 1997, President Bill Clinton made the first use of the historic line-item veto, rejecting three items in spending and tax bills. (The U.S. Supreme Court later struck down the veto as unconstitutional.)

In 2012, more than 300 people were killed and more than 3,000 injured after earthquakes struck near Tabriz, Iran.

In 2014, Academy Award-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams died in Tiburon, California at age 63.
