## Resource

In 1956, boxer Rocky Marciano retired as the only undefeated heavyweight champ. In 1960, the Minneapolis Lakers got the go ahead to move to Los Angeles after concessions were made. In 1983, Nolan Ryan passed Walter Johnson on the all-time strikeouts list. In 1947, MLB celebrated Babe Ruth day at every ballpark in the league. And in today’s ‘nothing to do with sports’ fun fact … On April 27, 1792, Captain George Vancouver sailed past what is now Ocean Shores, Washington and did not stop. The non-event is still celebrated in Ocean Shores. At midnight, folks gather on the shore, wave and shout 'Hey George.'
