In 1912, Boston's Fenway Park opened for business with a game between the Red Sox and the team that would soon become known as the Yankees. In 1957, American John J. Kelley broke a 12-year drought of an American winning the Boston Marathon, running the newly redesigned and re-measured race course in 2 hours 20 minutes 5 seconds. In 1987, cyclist Greg LeMond was nearly killed after his brother-in-law accidentally shot him while turkey hunting. In 1966, boxing promoter Don King killed a man.
