Fast facts

In October 1903, the first game of the first baseball World Series was played between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Boston Pilgrims. Cy Young was the first losing pitcher in a World Series game, but Boston did win the series.

Today in local history

City Council members were taken on a tour of City Hall on this date in 2007, and various structural concerns were pointed out to them, including water leaks and asbestos on the walls.

City Hall was constructed in the 1930s and Public Works Director Tim McGannon pointed out that renovation or replacement of the building was becoming a pressing issue.

Clarification

In a story that began on Page A1 of Saturday’s edition, Rapid City lawyer Patrick Duffy was quoted as saying, “I always like to win, and two-on-one makes it even sweeter.” The quote came from a press release issued by the office of Duffy’s client, state Sen. Stan Adelstein, R-Rapid City. Duffy said Monday that he did not make that statement.
