On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple Black, who as a child in the
1930s became one of Hollywood’s most successful stars, died at
her Woodside, California, home at age 85.
The plucky, curly-haired performer sang, danced and acted in
dozens of films by the time she was a teen; as an adult, she
gave up making movies and served as a U.S. diplomat
under four presidents.

On February 9, 1971, pitcher Leroy “Satchel” Paige became the
first Negro League veteran to be nominated for the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
In August of that year, Paige, a pitching legend known for his
fastball, showmanship and the longevity of his playing career,
which spanned five decades, was inducted. Joe DiMaggio (‘’the
Yankee Clipper”) once called Paige “the best and fastest pitcher
I’ve ever faced.”

The first Super Bowl game, then called the AFL-NFL
World Championship Game, was played at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 15, 1967.
Broadcast on two television networks and played
before less than a sellout crowd, the game saw
the NFL’s Green Bay Packers defeat the AFL’s
Kansas City Chiefs, 35–10.
The name “Super Bowl” first appeared in 1969, as
did the use of Roman numerals.
