Sports history is made every day of the year. We will preserve at least a small sampling from some great athletes every day based on the uniform number they wore.
15 - 1 - 9 - 4
May 29, 1965 - Philadelphia Phillies great Dick Allen pounded a ball some 529 feet, which cleard the wall at Connie Mack Stadium in the City of Brotherly Love. Number 15 helped the Phils earn a 4-2 victory of the Cubs with the blast.
May 29, 1971 - With the honor of having the Numeral 1 on his car, defending Indianapolis 500 champion Al Unser Sr lead all other cars for the final 83 laps to take the checkered flag. He became the first and only driver to win this annual race at the old brickyards on his birthday.
May 29, 1984 - They fianlly did it! The Boston Red Sox organization retired the jersey numbers of two of their all-time greats. The Number 9 of Ted Williams and the Number 4 of Joe Cronin were placed in honor at Fenway.
