The P-38 is a foldable carbon steel can opener that was
issued with canned United States military rations from
its introduction in 1942 to the end of canned ration
issuance in the 1980s.
Originally distributed in the K-ration, it was later included
in the C-ration. A larger later variant is known as the P-51.

On September 28, 1960, at Boston’s Fenway Park, Red Sox star
Ted Williams hit a home run in the last at-bat of his 21-year
career.
Williams once said it was his goal in life to “walk down the
street [and have] folks say ‘there goes the greatest hitter
who ever lived.’”
He succeeded. Williams led the American League in batting
average six times, home runs four times and runs batted in
four times.
He was one of only two men ever to win baseball’s Triple
Crown twice, leading the league in home runs, runs batted
in and batting average in 1942 and again in 1947.
Perhaps most impressively, however, he hit .406 in 1941
(also on September 28)–he was the last man ever to hit .
400.
