Summary

In 1990, the Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers got into an epic fight at the end of a 10-point Philly win. In 1960, the exploding scoreboard debuted at Chicago's Comiskey Park after Minnie Minoso's Grand Slam homer in the fourth inning. In 1967, Katherine Switzer became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon even though women were not permitted to enter.
