The modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster is born when a
sighting makes local news on May 2, 1933. The newspaper
Inverness Courier relates an account of a local couple who
claim to have seen “an enormous animal rolling and plunging
on the surface.” The story of the “monster” (a moniker chosen
by the Courier editor) becomes a media phenomenon, with
London newspapers sending correspondents to Scotland and
a circus offering a 20,000 pound sterling reward for capture of
the beast.

On April 30, 1939, the New York World’s Fair opened in New
York City. The opening ceremony, which featured speeches
by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (below) and New York
Governor Herbert Lehman, ushered in the first day of
television broadcasting by RCA in New York.

On April 22, 1876, the Boston Red Caps beat the Philadelphia
Athletics, 6-5, in the first official National League baseball game. 

The game, which lasted a little more than two hours, was played
in "favorable" weather before 3,000 fans. "Great interest was
manifested in the result," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported,
"as it really was the first game of importance played this season."

"The Athletics should have won the game," the newspaper added,
"but their fielding was poor." Betting on the game was "about
even.”
