If that\'s the correct answer, I believe it was just called Tiger\'s Stadium

Not even breaking a sweat... The Titanic sank.  Go figure.  (Interestingly enough, Tiger Stadium opened the same day.  It was also 420 [April 20th, 1912])

These questions are getting popular.  I thought that I was the only "random sports fact sponge" on the board.

Close but it sank around the end of the 14th into 15th as far as can be figured.

Anyway, back to the BoSox related chatter.  It turns out that we don\'t get NESN at Fairfield (that\'s the New England Sports Network for you non-Northeasterners).  Thus I\'ll be taking the ESPN.com route to keep an eye on this game.  The Curt Schilling Experience begins tonight...

Yeah I\'m excited for this game and considering skipping school to go to the bar to watch it. I wanna see his first start against his ex-team mates.

Schilling is one intense dude.

Under .500.  Gee, that Brooklyn Bridge looks nicer every day...

How\'s this for mandatory hipocracy:  We (Sam Adams) are doing promos around Yankee Stadium when the Red Sox come into town and the slogan is "Sam Adams: The Only Good Thing To Ever Come Out Of Boston."  Ouch!

The Titanic was the correct answer, it was actually the same day.  I dunno if that one game was a famous event in world history!

ROUND FOUR:  Without surfing all over the net to find the answer, what is Roger Clemens\' first name?
