Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia
Warriors becomes the first professional basketball player to score 100
points in a game, leading his team to a 169-147 regular season victory
over the NY Knicks in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The combined score of 316
points is also an NBA record. Wilt the Stilt would go on to score a record-breaking
4000 points that season!
In Perth Amboy, New Jersey, Mr. &
Mrs. James Bongiovi give birth to a son. Jon Bon Jovi was born.
Several hundred miles to the northeast
in Southbridge, Massachusetts, at 12:07 PM, another son was born to Charles
& Helen [last name removed for security purposes]. This is where my story begins.
