## Resource

On July 26, 2005, Greg Maddux etched his name in baseball history with his 3,000th strikeout at Wrigley Field—joining an elite group of pitchers who’ve achieved both 3,000 strikeouts and 300 wins. That same date also marks a pivotal political moment: in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominated by a major U.S. party for president, signaling a historic shift. Looking back, 1952 saw Adlai Stevenson, then Illinois governor, reluctantly accept the Democratic nomination for president, promising a fierce campaign before losing the election. Meanwhile, in 1964, Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa was convicted in Chicago on fraud and conspiracy charges tied to the union’s pension fund, part of a turbulent legal saga. And for a festive twist, 1985 launched Old St. Patrick’s Church’s legendary “World’s Largest Block Party,” a beloved neighborhood tradition that lasted decades until its final celebration in 2020.
