Chimborazo Day celebrates the highest point on Earth, the point closest to the Moon. Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador, tops out at 20,702 feet, almost two miles lower than Everest. But that’s only compared to sea level. If we take the equatorial bulge into account—in other words, if we measure what peak is farthest from the center of the Earth—Chimborazo sticks more than 7,000 feet farther into space than any of the Himalayas do, since they’re located thousands of miles north of the Equator.

June 3, 1932 – Lou Gehrig and his teammate Tony Lazzeri hit four home runs in one game, and hit for the natural cycle, respectively. These two feats are both less common than a perfect game, which has occurred twenty-one times in one-hundred and twenty years.
June 3,1937: The Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson. “Duke of Windsor” was a title in the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 March 1937, for Prince Edward, former King Edward VIII, following his abdication in December 1936.
1942 The Aleutian Islands Campaign was a military campaign conducted by the United States in the Aleutian Islands, part of the Alaska Territory…in World War II, starting on 3 June 1942. A small Japanese force occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska, but the remoteness of the islands and the difficulties of weather and terrain meant that it took nearly a year for a far larger U.S./Canadian force to eject them. The islands’ strategic value was their ability to control Pacific Great Circle routes. This control of the Pacific transportation routes is why U.S. General Billy Mitchell stated to the U.S. Congress in 1935, “I believe that in the future, whoever holds Alaska will hold the world. I think it is the most important strategic place in the world.” The Japanese reasoned that control of the Aleutians would prevent a possible U.S. attack across the Northern Pacific. Similarly, the U.S. feared that the islands would be used as bases from which to launch aerial assaults against the West Coast.
On June 3, 1965, Edward White became the first American astronaut to do a “space walk” when he left the Gemini 4 capsule.
I am going to dispute the fact that BOTH Gehrig and Lazzeri EACH hit 4 home runs in one game. The box score (BASEBALL ALMANAC) of June 3, 1932, shows that Gehrig, yes, did hit 4 home runs and was 4-for-6 with six RBI’s. Lazzeri went 5-for-6 with 1 home run
(a 9th inning grand slam) in addition to one double, a triple and 2 singles in the Yankees 20-13 win at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park.
I think your wording of this game is the problem.
I agree the wording is awkward. According to gamesproj/ Gehrig hit four home runs. Lazzeri hit for the cycle, (single, double, triple, and home run in that order, the homer being a grand slam). Lazzeri stroked five hits in six at-bats. In addition, he stole a base. The final score: New York 20, Philadelphia 13.
