Okay, caller one wins cord-side seats to tonight's game.
What? I won floor seats?
I've been calling for 13 months.
Yes, I finally did it.
What are you gonna wear?
They've got today's looks for any occasion,
and I need to look like a celebrity.
Don't want to stick out.
They've got chill flecks by Kenneth Cole,
and the tailor at every store for the perfect fit.
You can stop calling now.
Hit any look for every occasion at Men's Warehouse.
Love the way you look.
Welcome to this day in history.
and when you think of the great 20th century pop songs,
what comes to mind for you?
Well, you probably are not thinking about the one
we're talking about today.
It was the biggest pop song of the early 20th century.
On this day in 1911,
famed composer Irving Berlin,
copyrighted Alexander's ragtime band,
the multi-million-selling smash hit
that helped turn American popular music
into a major international phenomenon.
One reason Alexander's ragtime band was so popular
was that it was an easy piece
for an amateur piano player to master,
leading to sheet music sales
of over one and a half million copies
in the first 18 months of its publication.
Berlin went on to write more classic songs,
including White Christmas, God Bless America,
and there's no business like show business.
Also on this day in history,
in 1766, the British Parliament
repealed the Reviled Stamp Act.
In 1852, Wells Fargo started a shipping and banking company.
And on this day in 1925,
the Tri-State Tornado
killed 695 people in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
That's all for today.
Come back tomorrow to learn a little bit more
about the world around you,
be kind to yourself and others,
and enjoy the rest of your day.
