September 16 is an important date by anyone’s reckoning. It’s the 259th day of the year (260th in leap years). And in this day in history:

  • The first game of softball was played in Chicago, Illinois in 1887
  • The Massachusetts village of Shawmut changed its name to Boston in 1630
  • Hildegard of Bingen, German magistra and the first componist to be known by name, is born in 1098
  • As is Molly Shannon, American actress, and hot latino singer Marc Antony.

But most importantly, today is WU’s Supreme Blog-Mama Therese’s birthday! All good wishes for your big day today!
