Interesting facts about July:
July is named after a person whose been famous for thousands of years. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Roman dictator Julis Caesar developed the precursor to the Gregorian calendar used today. Though that made him worthy of a month named in his honor, it didn’t do much to protect him during his life, as Caesar was famously assassinated in 44 B.C.
Baseball historians know that many significant events in the game have taken place in July, and some records set in the month have withstood longer than others. On July 12, 1931, Mel Ott of the New York Giants hit his 100th career homerun, becoming the youngest player to reach that milestone. Ott was 22 years and 132 days old when he set the mark, which still stands today.
Best regards,
