(Fox News) – A baseball glove that Babe Ruth used nearly a century
ago while playing for the New York Yankees sold for a record $1.5
million at an auction on Saturday. 

Ruth gifted the glove, which has light wear and even a "spatter
from tobacco juice," to Jimmy Austin, who played for the St.
Louis Browns.

It remained in Austin’s family until it was sold at the Louisville
Slugger Museum & Factory auction on Saturday.

On November 13, 1974, 28-year-old Karen Silkwood was killed
in a car accident near Crescent, Oklahoma, north of Oklahoma
City. Silkwood worked as a technician at a plutonium plant
operated by the Kerr-McGee Corporation, and she had been
critical of the plant’s health and safety procedures.

The story was chronicled in Mike Nichols‘s 1983
Academy Award nominated film Silkwood in
which she was portrayed by Meryl Streep.

Mehran Karimi Nasseri  (1945 – 12 November 2022)

(USA TODAY) – The Iranian man who inspired the Steven Spielberg
film "The Terminal” died in Paris’ Charles-de-Gaulle airport after
living there for almost two decades, French officials said today.

Mehran Karimi Nasseri, a political refugee, died after a heart attack
in the airport’s Terminal 2F, Paris airport authority officials reported.

Police and a medical team treated Nasseri but were not able to
save him, an airport spokesperson told Agence France-Presse
news agency.

Nasseri, who the Guardian reported called himself "Sir Alfred,"
got caught in an immigration trap in the late 80s – unable to
enter France. Born in 1945, Nasseri, lived in the airport’s
Terminal 1 from 1988 until 2006, first in legal limbo because he
lacked residency papers then later by choice, USA TODAY
archives show.

On November 12, 1864, Union General William T. Sherman
ordered the business district of Atlanta, Georgia, destroyed
before he embarked on his famous March to the Sea.

When Sherman captured Atlanta in early September 1864,
he knew that he could not remain there for long.

His tenuous supply line ran from Nashville, Tennessee,
through Chattanooga, Tennessee, then one hundred miles
through mountainous northern Georgia.

The army he had just defeated, the Army of Tennessee, was
still in the area and its leader, John Bell Hood, swung around
Atlanta to try to damage Sherman’s lifeline. Of even greater
concern was the Confederate cavalry of General Nathan
Bedford Forrest, a brilliant commander who could strike
quickly against the railroads and river transports on which
Sherman relied.

comedian who left a trail of laughter, anger and shattered
watermelons over a decadeslong career, has died.

Gallagher’s “longtime former manager,” said that he died
Friday at his home in Palm Springs, California, after a brief
illness. Gallagher had numerous heart attacks over the years,
including one right before a scheduled show in Texas in 2012.
