I'm not a cowboys fan so the fact that Detroit won is of no consequence to me. I'm just trying to find a rational explanation for anyone being a Detroit Lions fan. 😂

On October 24 in Baseball History...​
  • 1911 - The World Series between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics was resumed after six days of rain, and Chief Bender beat Christy Mathewson 4-2 to give the A's 3-1 lead.

  • 1939 - The AL MVP is Joe DiMaggio, with Jimmie Foxx the runner-up.

  • 1956 - The AP names Cincinnati manager Birdie Tebbets as its NL Manager of the Year.

  • 1963 - Sandy Koufax is the unanimous winner of the Cy Young Award.

  • 1972 - Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson dies of heart disease at age 53. Robinson had become the first black major league player of the 20th century with the 1947 Dodgers.

  • 1981 - The Los Angeles Dodgers came back to beat the New York Yankees 8-7 in a sloppy 3{-hour marathon and tied the World Series 2-2. The Yankees blew a 6-3 lead. On one play, Reggie Jackson lost the ball in the sun and it bounced off his shoulder for a two-base error.

  • 1985 - Danny Jackson's five-hitter cut St. Louis' lead to 3-2 in the World Series as the Kansas City Royals took Game 5, 6-1. Willie Wilson's two-run triple highlighted a three-run second inning and chased starter Ken Forsch.

  • 1986 - Bill Russell, 38, announces his retirement. He is the last member of the Dodgers' Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey 1970s infield and is second on the club's all-time list with 2,183 games played.

  • 1987 - Kent Hrbek's grand slam highlighted a 15-hit barrage as the Minnesota Twins pounded the St. Louis Cardinals 11-5 at the Metrodome to force the World Series to a seventh game.

  • 1991 - The Braves take the lead in the Series with a 14-5 rout of the Twins. Atlanta blows open a 5-3 game with nine runs in the last two innings.

  • 1992 - The Toronto Blue Jays took baseball's championship outside the United States for the first time ever, beating the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 11 innings in Game 6 of the World Series.

  • 1994 - Atlanta's Greg Maddux became the first pitcher to win three straight Cy Young Awards, unanimously sweeping the NL honor. Maddux was 16-6 with a 1.56 ERA, the third-lowest in 75 years.

  • 1995 - Eddie Murray singles home pinch-runner Alvaro Espinoza in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Indians their first win in a World Series in 47 years. The Tribe's 7-6 victory over the Braves fittingly occurs in the first-ever Series game at Jacobs Field.

  • 1996 - The Yankees lay claim to the last game in the history of Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. The Yankees, who finish the postseason with an 8-0 road record, are helped by poor Atlanta outfield defense and some great plays from their own outfielders as Andy Pettitte outduels John Smoltz 1-0 in Game Five.
