On this day in 1937 (80 years ago), two gold metal Olympians died:
Ray Ewry (63) and Ernst Hoppenberg (59). 
One was a swimmer and one a triple jump specialist.  Sadly, it was Hoppenberg who -- despite having a fantastic name for a triple jumper -- was the swimmer.

'Twas on this day that the great James Dean crashed and burned, 62 years ago. What a guy. 

 

He sure looked good with a fag in his mouth.

Sam Adams could no longer fight for freedom on this day 214 years ago, aged 81.

I feel like some people only remember him for the beer named after him instead of his role in the American Revolution.
