Sporting Greats

Today in 1935, Babe Ruth hit his final home runs (three on the day!) and, possibly at the same time, Jesse Owens was breaking three world records (Long Jump, 220 Yards Sprint, 220 Yards Hurdles) and equalling another (100 Yards Sprint) in just 45 minutes! Remarkable that two such iconic feats happened at almost the same instant!
